The Jet Press Podcast: Jets War Room, ranking Jets draft scenarios, David Bailey

In the latest episode of The Jet Press Podcast, Justin Fried and Mike Luciano break down 10 unique New York Jets draft scenarios and rank them, while diving into the ongoing Arvell Reese versus David Bailey debate.

After some brief technical difficulties, the show opened with a few quick promos, including a recent interview with Tennessee defensive lineman Tyre West that dropped on The Jet Press this week, as well as a preview of our upcoming draft show on Day 1 of the 2026 NFL Draft. We’ll be streaming live for the entire first round with special guests planned, so stay tuned for more details.

The remainder of the show was dedicated to ranking various Jets draft scenarios involving the No. 2, 16, 33, and 44 overall picks. Over 20 different prospects were discussed at length, including the contentious debate about who should be the No. 2 pick.

Justin and Mike revisited the Arvell Reese/David Bailey discussion that has dominated Jets headlines in recent days. Is the recent Bailey news just a smokescreen? Should Reese still be considered the favorite at that spot?

We talked about both prospects, why we prefer Reese over Bailey, unsubstantiated narratives around the two, and much more. For the record, seven of the 10 draft scenarios involved one of these two players.
