The Jets had an interesting decision to make with their second-round pick. On the clock with the 48th pick of the draft, edge rushers like Alabama’s Terrell Lewis and Bosie State’s Curtis Weaver are on the board, while LSU plug-and-play center Lloyd Cushenberry III is sitting there as well.

Ultimately, New York decides to bolster its receiving core by adding Jalen Reagor out of Texas Christian University.

In 2019, Reagor was a second-team all-conference selection as a receiver, leading his TCU team with 43 receptions for 611 yards and five touchdowns in 12 starts. As a return specialist, Reagor had five kick returns for 72 yards while returning 15 punts for 312 yards and two touchdowns.

Reagor has blazing speed and is an exceptional playmaker with the ball in his hands. He excels after the catch, so someone like Sam Darnold getting the ball out quickly to Reagor would be crucial to getting the Jets offense to a faster pace.
