Jets seven-round 2026 NFL Mock Draft 4.0: Making the trade down some fans are clamoring for

We’re almost there.The 2026 NFL Draft is a little more than a week away and soon all the speculation will be done and we’ll have real answers about what the Jets and the 31 other teams are going to do.Until then, let’s continue to mock.
