Jets Target Arvell Reese Exposes OSU's Pass-Rush Gap

New York Jets draft target Arvell Reese says Ohio State never taught him pass-rush moves, relying on instinct instead. At age 20, he posted 6.5 sacks on 119 pass-rush snaps as a true junior without formal coaching, suggesting a high NFL ceiling once he’s trained. With Reese viewed as a top candidate for the Jets’ second overall pick, the revelation could sharpen the Jets’ evaluation amid comparisons to David Bailey and potentially influence their draft decision by prioritizing upside over a ready-made edge rusher.

Titans-Jets deal tightens Cowboys' 2026 draft plans

A Titans-Jets blockbuster swap of T'Vondre Sweat for Jermaine Johnson sharpens the Cowboys’ 2026 NFL Draft focus: Jets are positioned to take Ohio State LB/edge Arvell Reese at No. 2, while Tennessee likely targets Miami DL Rueben Bain; Bain’s arm-length concerns could trigger a slide that Dallas hoped to capitalize on, though Reese isn’t expected to fall to No. 12. Johnson’s injury history also factors into the equation. With top targets likely gone by Dallas’s pick, the Cowboys should brace for a far more narrowed board and pivot to other options and free-agent avenues.
