The New York Jets made a surprising pick at No. 16 overall, as, according to SNY's Connor Hughes, the Jets are drafting Oregon Ducks' tight end Kenyon Sadiq in the first round.
With the Jets in need of offensive firepower, it's not a major surprise that the Jets are taking offense. But this pick is a bit more interesting than a typical offensive pick at this spot.
Most importantly, this selection is some bad news for one player on the Jets roster: 2025 second-round pick Mason Taylor. He is now in trouble of losing his starting job, and might be the No. 2 tight end for the Jets in 2026.

Mason Taylor might be in trouble
The Jets drafted Taylor with a premium pick during the 2025 NFL Draft, and one year later, with the same regime in charge of the draft, they've selected another tight end.
For a position that's not considered premium, it's an odd decision. And for Taylor, the tight end the Jets took a year ago with the No. 42 overall pick, it's a worrying development.
