David

Bailey

Jets coach Aaron Glenn said he looks at Ohio State LB Arvell Reese the way he looks at Texans EDGE Danielle Hunter. “I look at [Reese] the same way. Man, it’s a combination of the traits and this combination of the football character again. Is that player coachable enough to be able to do the things that you want him to do to be successful?” Glenn asked rhetorically. The headline of this piece is “Jets leaning towards LB Arvell Reese with second overall pick,” but we wouldn’t say it quite hits that level of dedication. Still, it makes plenty of sense for the Jets to wind up at that conclusion. Cimini also noted that Texas Tech EDGE David Bailey and Ohio State LB Sonny Styles figure to draw consideration at No. 2 overall.

Bailey’s visits with the Cowboys and Chiefs both occurred this week. His visit with the Cardinals happened the week after the NFL Scouting Combine. The Cowboys hold the 12th and 20th overall picks in the 2026 NFL Draft. The Chiefs hold the ninth and 29th and the Cardinals hold the third. Earlier today, The Ringer’s Todd McShay reported that there is “a lot of buzz” about the Cowboys trading up with the Cardinals for Bailey, surprisingly saying he heard it might only take a third-round pick throw-in, in the Nos. 90-99 range, to move up from 12th to third. That seems awfully cheap. Regardless, Bailey has a chance to be drafted very early in the first round.
