The most successful NFL teams build their organizational foundation through the draft, and the NY Jets are no exception to that. While the franchise has endured its fair share of draft blunders, the current iteration of the Jets' roster is built on draft success stories.
The 2022 NFL Draft yielded the Jets numerous franchise cornerstones such as Sauce Gardner, Garrett Wilson, Jermaine Johnson, and Breece Hall. Other standouts like Quinnen Williams and Alijah Vera-Tucker were also acquired via the draft.
But for every draft-day success, the Jets have had plenty of misses. From Zach Wilson to Mekhi Becton, the Jets haven't always nailed their draft picks in recent years. In fact, there have probably been more misses than hits over the last few decades.
The Jets will have an opportunity to buck that trend and follow in the footsteps of their outstanding 2022 NFL Draft class in the coming years. Here is a look at the Jets' future draft picks:

The Jets have already made quite a few changes to their crop of 2026 NFL Draft picks. The most notable pertains to the Haason Reddick trade, which will send a Day 2 pick in 2026 to the Philadelphia Eagles.
The conditions of the Reddick trade were not met, as Reddick did not play 67.5 percent of defensive snaps in 2024 and record 10 or more sacks, so the Jets will send a third-round pick to Philadelphia instead of a second.
The Jets also have four selections in the sixth round courtesy of the John Franklin-Myers trade and the Brandon Codrington trade. This means the Jets have their own sixth-round pick, Denver's selection in that round, Buffalo's pick, and a selection from the Baltimore Ravens.
The Jets swapped their 2026 seventh-round pick for the Bills' 2026 sixth-round pick in the Codrington trade, so they do not have a pick in the seventh round.
The Jets do not have a fifth-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, as they traded it to the Ravens to move up and select defensive end Tyler Baron in this past year's draft. In return, the Jets received Baltimore's sixth-round pick in 2026.
