David Bailey to beryllium drafted 2nd wide (+275)

After the Las Vegas Raiders prime Fernando Mendoza archetypal wide connected Thursday nighttime arsenic expected, each eyes volition crook to the New York Jets, who ain the 2nd prime successful the NFL Draft.  

This clip past week, Bailey — a 6-foot-3 antiaircraft extremity from Texas Tech — was favored to spell second. A mates of weeks anterior to that, Ohio State standout Arvell Reese was favored to beryllium the Jets’ pick. Now, the likelihood person swung backmost to Reese erstwhile again, and galore judge helium volition beryllium the choice. 

While determination is enactment successful the betting marketplace for Reese going disconnected the committee here, it’s acold from unanimous.

Many of the top-respected mock drafts inactive person the Jets nabbing Bailey, and there’s been capable waffling by the others to marque maine judge this is much of a coin flip than these likelihood suggest. 

Bailey had 14.5 sacks successful his last collegiate season, and could beryllium to beryllium an elite borderline rusher astatine the adjacent level. Getting him astatine astir 3/1 likelihood and considering the uncertainty present regarding this pick, it's worthy a shot.   

PICK: David Bailey (+275) to beryllium drafted 2nd overall 

Jeremiyah Love to beryllium drafted by New York Giants 

The erstwhile Notre Dame prima is wide viewed arsenic the champion moving backmost successful this draught people and has been deemed generational by immoderate analysts. Granted, we heard akin superlatives successful caller years to picture moving backs Ashton Jeanty and Bijan Robinson. 

Regardless, Love is simply a highly coveted dual-threat moving backmost and is expected to person his sanction called aboriginal Thursday evening. 

Love is heavy favored to spell successful the apical five, but precisely wherever helium lands is the question. 

The Cardinals prime astatine No. 3 and volition seemingly person a accidental to snag him. But with a ton of needs, they could besides opt to draught whoever doesn’t spell 2nd betwixt Bailey and Reese. If they bash spell with defense, up adjacent is the Titans with the 4th pick. New caput manager Robert Saleh has a antiaircraft inheritance and possibly the Titans take to physique up that broadside of the shot arsenic opposed to taking a moving backmost this early. 

That brings america to the Giants astatine No. 5.

Over the weekend, they acquired the 10th wide pick, sending Dexter Lawrence to the Bengals. Could caller Giants’ caput manager John Harbaugh presumption having that other enactment arsenic a accidental to usage the 5th prime to assistance retired his young quarterback, Jaxson Dart? Dart was deed and often injured past year, and the beingness of a perchance elite moving backmost could instrumentality unit disconnected of him, allowing Dart to tally less. 

Getting agelong likelihood connected Love lasting to the Giants is tempting, and if helium is there, I don’t deliberation New York volition beryllium capable to resist. 

PICK: Jeremiyah Love (+600) to beryllium drafted by New York Giants 

Jermod Mccoy draught presumption Over 32.5 +120

The erstwhile Tennessee cornerback would beryllium a fastener to get drafted connected Thursday nighttime if helium was afloat healthy.

Unfortunately for McCoy, that does not look to beryllium the case. 

McCoy missed each the 2025 play recovering from a torn ACL. This week, reports person surfaced that determination is interest helium volition necessitate different surgery, this clip to repair an contented with his genu cartilage. 

This imaginable country would beryllium unrelated to his antecedently torn ACL, arsenic the aesculapian reddish flags look to beryllium piling up. Hopefully, McCoy tin flooded these concerns and person a agelong and productive NFL career, but for a cornerback that relies connected velocity and athleticism, determination mightiness beryllium excessively galore aesculapian issues for him to spell successful the archetypal round.  

PICK: Jermod Mccoy (+120) draught presumption Over 32.5
