Patriots fans can already laugh at the Jets for botching their first-round pick

"The Jets predictably go against the grain and don't pick the better pass rusher at No. 2, opting for Bailey instead of the higher-ceiling Reese."

"Although the arrival of Bailey means the Patriots have a new pass rusher to prepare for twice a season, it's possible he won't be as threatening as Reese would be in the long-term."

"One of Bailey's biggest weaknesses was his ability to stop the run, and with the two-headed monster of TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson coming out of the Patriots' backfield, his skills will be tested early and often."

The New York Jets chose Texas Tech pass rusher David Bailey with the second overall pick, despite expectations to select Ohio State's Arvell Reese. Analysts believed Reese had a higher ceiling, but the Jets opted for Bailey, who may not be as threatening long-term. This decision is seen as beneficial for the New England Patriots, who face Bailey twice a season. Bailey's weaknesses, particularly in run defense, could be exploited by the Patriots' strong running game, making this a pivotal choice in the division.
