Jets eye Eagles trade as draft strategy heats up

The Jets, owning picks 2 and 16 in the 2026 first round, may trade up or back as the draft nears. A recent Eagles move to acquire Dontayvion Wicks has Philly positioned to target a top receiver at 23, potentially triggering a Jets-Eagles deal that could net draft capital — including possible 2027 picks and a 2026 third-rounder — while the Jets weigh adding playmakers for a year they aren’t expected to contend in. Prospects like Carnell Tate, Makai Lemon, and Jordyn Tyson could influence any trade talks.

Kiper signals Cowboys may skip No. 3 trade in 2026 NFL Draft

ESPN draft expert Mel Kiper Jr. cast doubt on the Cowboys trading up to No. 3 in the 2026 NFL Draft, saying there may be no suitable dance partner for Arizona and that the move could be unlikely, leaving Dallas to consider other routes (like trading with Browns/Saints or pursuing a veteran nickel corner) in a draft class seen as unpredictable and thin at edge rushers.

Raiders chart a three-pronged plan to land a free safety in the 2026 NFL Draft

Las Vegas is weighing three routes to address the lack of a true free safety in the 2026 draft: Plan A would try to reach into the first round for Oregon safety Dillon Thieneman if a favorable trade partner emerges; Plan B would move back to the 50s to draft LSU's A.J. Haulcy, a second-round-grade ballhawk; Plan C would target TCU's Bud Clark around pick 67 and consider trading back to collect more picks, with depth in the class and draft value guiding the decisions.

Jets Draft Smoke: Edge Rusher or WR in Play as Rumors Grow

With the 2026 NFL draft two weeks away, rumors around the Jets' second pick shift toward Texas Tech edge rusher David Bailey over Ohio State's Arvell Reese, while at No. 16 they’re linked to Indiana WR Omar Cooper Jr. — though insiders warn much of the chatter is likely deliberate misdirection as the team maintains its usual secrecy and could still change course before draft day.

Hunt's Draft Fits: Guard Spotlight and Underradar Adds for the Seahawks

Emory Hunt’s Seahawks draft analysis centers on adding value to a championship roster, naming Jalen Farmer as the top guard in the 2026 class, with late-round possibilities like Jaydn Ott at running back and under-the-radar targets such as Charles Demmings at cornerback (plus notes on Malachi Lawrence as a potential pass-rush fit), all aimed at sustaining Seattle’s title core through smart, technique-driven picks.

Guard Ioane Emerges as Ravens' Mock-Draft Favorite

As the NFL Draft nears, Vega Ioane of Penn State is widely projected as the Ravens' runaway pick, praised for his mauler run-blocking and pass protection and viewed as a plug-and-play interior lineman to shore up Baltimore's line after Tyler Linderbaum's departure; other names like Spencer Fano, Jordyn Tyson, Kenyon Sadiq, and Francis Mauigoa appear in various mocks, but Ioane remains the consensus favorite.

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.

Steelers Bring in Trio of Mid‑Round Prospects for Pre-Draft Visits

The Steelers hosted three pre-draft visitors—Texas CB Malik Muhammad, LSU LB Harold Perkins and Memphis OT Travis Burke—bringing their total pre-draft visitors to 24 (27 with locals). All three are seen as mid‑round prospects: Burke is a massive 6'8", 325-pound tackle with a mauler profile, Perkins is an ultra‑athletic off‑ball linebacker, and Muhammad projects as a Day 2 corner with strong ball skills. Pittsburgh has also shown interest in other corners and is expected to wrap up visits next week ahead of the draft.

Broncos Bet on Haulcy as a Sleeper at No. 62 Overall

Denver may target LSU safety A.J. Haulcy with the 62nd pick in the 2026 NFL draft, highlighting a potential value fit as a versatile safety who posted 88 tackles, 3 interceptions, and a 4.52 40-yard dash last year. The Broncos have no glaring needs and boast a solid second-round track record (Bonitto in 2022, Mims in 2023) under Paton and Payton, and Haulcy could contribute as a day-one depth option behind Jones, with a path to eventually replace a future starter like Hufanga if development continues.
