MLS Power Rankings: Nashville SC continues to rise after a strong week!
The Jets are considering Arvell Reese and David Bailey for the No. 2 pick in the NFL Draft. With a need for defensive talent, Reese is favored due to his agility and impact potential, while Bailey is seen as a reliable option.
Mentioned in this story
Arvell Reese (-185) is the favorite to be the first non-quarterback taken on draft night. Reese’s traits and strengths project to transfer immediately at the pro level as either an edge rusher or an off-ball linebacker. He has the agility and speed to close in on pass catchers in space, and has a nose for the quarterback with multiple pass-rushing moves. He was a focal point of a historically great Ohio State defense last season, earning first-team All-American honors and being named a finalist for the Butkus Award (nation’s top linebacker), but his ultimate long-term upside might depend on finding a scheme that can make the most of his modern skill set. In Reese, Glenn might have the instant impact player he needs to carve out a new defensive identity.
The top prospects are Arvell Reese and David Bailey, both EDGE players with strong defensive capabilities.
Arvell Reese is known for his agility, speed, and ability to rush the passer, making him a potential instant impact player.
David Bailey is recognized for his explosive play and ability to collapse the pocket, making him a reliable choice for a defensive cornerstone.
The Jets need to improve their defense, which ranked 31st in points allowed, and are looking for a foundational piece to enhance their defensive identity.

David Bailey (+140) is a powerful pass-rusher whom many see as the most sure-thing defensive prospect in the class, though his odds of going No. 2 have faded over the weekend. Bailey is explosive off the line, with a knack for finishing plays, and the speed to consistently collapse the pocket and force QBs into bad decisions with rushed mechanics when he doesn’t get home. After three standout years at Stanford, Bailey transferred to Texas Tech and was immediately a first-team All American and finalist for the Lombardi Award (nation’s best lineman) while accumulating 14.5 sacks and 19.5 tackles for loss. Glenn may see Bailey as a bankable building block who can be the tone-setter on his defense for the next decade plus.
If the Jets trade out of the second pick, the team moving up is likely to be targeting a unique playmaker, which could lean toward Reese – or his Ohio State teammate **Sonny Styles (+4500)**, who excelled at linebacker after entering college as a safety. Another potential target could be **Rueben Bain Jr. (+4500)**, who’s been in the news lately for a 2024 car crash that resulted in one person’s death, but more recently had been seen dominating the College Football Playoff and showing the type of gravity and game-changing impact that teams covet. Based on pure talent, the pick could also go to Notre Dame **Jeremiyah Love (+10000)**, whose college tape is reminiscent of Bijan Robinson, but Love is actually slightly taller and ran a faster 40 yard dash. **Ty Simpson (+10000)** might also be in play for a desperate team as the next-best quarterback prospect in the draft, though consensus boards have Simpson falling at least as far as the Jets’ next pick at No. 16.
