The New York Jets made a big splash in the NFL Draft by selecting three players in the first round. They picked defensive end David Bailey with the No. 2 overall pick, tight end Kenyon Sadiq at No. 16, and wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. at No. 30.
The Jets started Thursday with two first-round picks but made a trade to get a third selection. All three players came from teams that made the College Football Playoff, showing the Jets targeted proven winners.
David Bailey was the highest pick as a pass rusher who can pressure opposing quarterbacks. Kenyon Sadiq gives the Jets a new tight end who can catch passes and block. Omar Cooper Jr. adds another weapon for the team's passing game.
Draft experts say these are smart picks that make sense for what the Jets need. The team has been trying to build a stronger roster around their quarterback and these three players could help immediately.
Jets fans should be excited about these picks as the team tries to build a better offense and defense. Getting three talented players in the first round gives the Jets more chances to find stars who can help them win games.
The Jets will continue drafting in rounds 2-7 over the weekend to add more players to their roster.
