NFL Draft 2026 best available players for New York Jets: Jermod McCoy, Emmanuel McNeil-Warren

The New York Jets attacked their biggest positions of need on Thursday night when they drafted edge rusher David Bailey and tight end Kenyon Sadiq — and again when they traded back into the first round to grab Indiana wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr.In order to get Cooper, they dealt the No. 33 pick — tops in the second round — and a fifth-round pick to the San Francisco 49ers. That means they currently possess only one selection on Day 2: No. 44.Who might they target with that pick?Here are some available prospects to watch:CB Jermod McCoy, Tennessee (No. 14 overall, No. 2 CB): McCoy tumbled down the board because of some serious injury concerns but his tape, when healthy, shows a potential shutdown corner. It wouldn’t have made much sense for the Jets to look at McCoy in the first round but it might be hard not to at least consider taking a swing on him at No. 44, even with the attached risk.
