There are a ton of prospects that the New York Jets could consider with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
While David Bailey out of Texas Tech and Arvell Reese out of Ohio State are the most likely options, what would be the most likely pick that would be a "shocker" to the NFL world?
Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic revealed that a different Ohio State defender than Reese being the pick at No. 2 overall would be the Jets' most likely draft shocker. That player is linebacker Sonny Styles.
Jets could take Sonny Styles in draft shocker with No. 2 pick
"It would be quite the shocker if the Jets drafted Styles, Downs, or Tate at No. 2 - they all feel more likely if the Jets were to trade back," Rosenblatt writes. "Of this group, though, Styles is the most likely to be in consideration at No. 2, even if it's unlikely they take him."
The Jets have the No. 2 pick in the NFL Draft, and they're more likely to go for one of Reese or Bailey than any other player.
But, if they were to go with a different player, and more specifically, choose one of the other Ohio State standouts in linebacker Sonny Styles, safety Caleb Downs, or wide receiver Carnell Tate, the most likely pick would be Styles.

He's a speedy linebacker with incredible athleticism, and according to Matt Miller of ESPN, he is compared to Fred Warner of the San Francisco 49ers.
While taking an off-ball linebacker with the No. 2 pick would be a shocker, if the Jets truly believed Styles is the next Warner, especially if they believe that to be the case right away, the second overall pick for a young Warner (in theory) wouldn't be a bad idea.
Of course, there is a lot of uncertainty that such a future could come to pass. The Jets are more likely to go for Reese or Bailey, or even a trade-down if one materializes, than actually select Styles with this pick.
But, on the off chance the Jets pull off a draft night shocker, the "most likely" pick among the potential shockers is Styles, the 4.46-second 40-yard-dash linebacker who'd be a very fun pickup for Aaron Glenn's defense.
