Barnwell puts Wilson, Bailey near two first-round picks in Jets trade grades

What happened: ESPN's Bill Barnwell assigned trade values to Jets players, putting WR Garrett Wilson and edge David Bailey just short of a two-first-round-pick grade. Tackles Olu Fashanu and Armand Membou and TE Kenyon Sadiq each landed a one-first-round-pick valuation, while RB Breece Hall and WR Omar Cooper Jr. missed the valuable tier entirely.

Why it matters: The grades reflect the buildup around New York's offensive core after a rough 2025 stretch, with Barnwell noting Wilson's numbers were dented by unsettled quarterback play rather than his own decline. Fashanu, who plays the more premium left tackle spot, edged out Membou in Barnwell's framing despite an uneven rookie season a year ago. The rankings follow Barnwell's broader 2026 trade-tier board that placed Mahomes and Allen at the top.

What to watch: Barnwell's full valuations remain a talking point as the Jets head toward training camp with their offensive identity still forming around Wilson and the offensive line.
