Jets pick Oregon TE Kenyon Sadiq as girlfriend captures emotional draft moment

Former Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq was drafted by the New York Jets at No. 16 in the 2026 NFL Draft. His girlfriend Addison Osta celebrated with an Instagram Story, while Jets GM Darren Mougey and coach Aaron Glenn shared excited, personal reactions to the call. Sadiq, who had 51 catches for 560 yards and eight touchdowns last season and ran a 4.39 40-yard dash, joins a Jets offense that also landed edge rusher David Bailey at No. 2 and later traded back into the first to pick Indiana receiver Omar Cooper Jr. at No. 30; rounds 2–7 proceed Friday through Saturday.

Bears snap up versatile safety Dillon Thieneman at 25 in 2026 NFL Draft

The Chicago Bears selected Oregon safety Dillon Thieneman with the 25th pick in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. A durable, versatile defender who split college time between Purdue and Oregon, Thieneman totaled 306 tackles and earned All-American honors, with playmaking ability in coverage and run support that should let him start beside Coby Bryant in Chicago’s secondary.

Analysts peg Oregon's 2026 slate among the Big Ten's toughest

Analysts aggregated preseason rankings from ESPN, NCAA.com, Sports Illustrated, CBS, and Pro Football Focus to rate Big Ten schedules by how many opponents from the top lists appear on each team’s slate. Ohio State is at the top (tied with Texas) and Oregon sits fourth, with three ranked opponents including road games at USC and Ohio State. The takeaway: Oregon faces a notably tough conference schedule in 2026, with Ohio State generally carrying the hardest slate overall.

Moore Returns to Oregon, Upending Jets' No. 2 Draft Plan

Oregon quarterback Dante Moore announced he will return for the 2026 season, likely taking him off the Jets’ radar for the No. 2 pick and forcing New York to reconsider its draft strategy. Analysts noted Moore’s limited college experience and NIL incentives as reasons to stay in school, while Boomer Esiason said the Jets “lucked out” by his return and suggested the team might trade down or pivot to other assets to build around a potential rookie in a different year.

Dante Moore's Oregon Return Resets the 2026 QB Landscape

Dante Moore, 20, chose to return to Oregon for 2027 instead of entering the 2026 NFL draft, boosting Oregon’s title chances and thinning the 2026 QB class. The decision reflects the NIL era’s risk/reward calculus and suggests NFL teams may value experience and development over pure upside, potentially changing quarterback trajectories in college and pro football and shifting early draft focus to other positions in 2026.
