The NFL’s legal tampering window opens in just three days. It’s time to take our last pulse of the 2026 draft landscape before free agency drastically alters the expectations of each team.

For the New York Jets, mock drafters around the world are only getting less and less certain about the direction they will go.

Courtesy of NFL Mock Draft Database, here is the consensus mock draft as of March 6, using mocks from the past week.

  1. Las Vegas Raiders: Fernando Mendoza, QB, Indiana (100% of picks)
  2. New York Jets: Arvell Reese, LB, Ohio State (65%)
  3. Arizona Cardinals: Francis Mauigoa, OT, Miami (27%)
  4. Tennessee Titans: Rueben Bain, EDGE, Miami (35%)
  5. New York Giants: Sonny Styles, LB, Ohio State (27%)
  6. Cleveland Browns: Spencer Fano, OT, Utah (25%)
  7. Washington Commanders: David Bailey, EDGE, Texas Tech (24%)
  8. New Orleans Saints: Carnell Tate, WR, Ohio State (32%)
  9. Kansas City Chiefs: Jeremiyah Love, RB, Notre Dame (33%)
  10. Cincinnati Bengals: Caleb Downs, S, Ohio State (36%)
  11. Miami Dolphins: Mansoor Delane, CB, LSU (41%)
  12. Dallas Cowboys: Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee (24%)
  13. Los Angeles Rams: Makai Lemon, WR, USC (21%)
  14. Baltimore Ravens: Olaivavega Ioane, IOL, Penn State (25%)
  15. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon (21%)
  16. New York Jets: Jordyn Tyson, WR, Arizona State (24%)

Ohio State defensive weapon Arvell Reese remains the favorite to be chosen second overall, but the public’s certainty is shrinking. When we last checked on the consensus mock draft, prior to the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine, Reese was being mocked to the Jets at No. 2 in 80% of mocks. Over the past week, that number has dropped to 65%.

Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson is the current leader at the No. 16 slot, a pivot from Clemson defensive tackle Peter Woods before the combine. With less than a quarter of people pegging Tyson to the Jets, though, he is far from a runaway favorite.

Soon, the Jets’ draft outlook will become a little clearer, as free agency will feature the removal of some holes and the enlargement of others. For now, it’s a total crapshoot.
