Good morning Gang Green Nation! The New York Jets had a fairly uneventful second day in the 2026 NFL draft yesterday. After they traded down from #44 with the Detroit Lions and picked up an extra fourth round selection, the Jets took Indiana cornerback D’Angelo Ponds with pick #50. That ended up being the Jets’ only selection last night. We head into the final day of the 2026 NFL draft with the Jets owning three fourth round picks and two seventh round picks. I expect Jets GM Darren Mougey to maneuver
around the draft board to try and bridge that large gap between the fourth and seventh rounds.
