The New York Jets currently have Garrett Wilson in line for another standout season at wide receiver, a promising tertiary piece in Adonai Mitchell, and no one who will be expected to contribute as a pass-catcher beyond a limited role in the 2026 season.
This has made it a necessity for Darren Mougey to use one of his top four picks in the 2026 NFL Draft on a standout wide receiver. If the Jets wait until Day 2, there are plenty of prospects who could fall into their laps. Their pick at No. 44 could come down to what type of receiver Mougey wants.
