What happened

2 to the Jets is looking more likely by the minute.

Why it matters

The Ohio State edge rusher now has -270 odds at FanDuel Sportsbook to be the second player selected in Thursday night’s NFL Draft.

Common ground

As recently as Thursday morning, Reese was locked in a two-horse race with Texas Tech defensive end David Bailey to be the second player taken behind Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza, who is all but assured to go No.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.

Claim 2: “There’s also the possibility of the Jets moving back in the draft as well, which The Post’s Brian Costello has previously predicted.”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
No evidence was found in the provided search results or Wikipedia entries regarding Brian Costello or any prediction about the Jets moving back in the draft.

Claim 3: “For weeks, the pair had flip-flopped as the favorite to go second overall.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The web search results discuss the general matchup between Reese and Bailey, suggesting they are being compared, but none of the provided snippets explicitly state that they have been 'alternating as the favorite... over several weeks.' This specific pattern of fluctuation is not confirmed by the evidence provided.

Claim 4: “The Jets also own a second first-round pick at No. 16, and it appears likely they will go with a wide receiver, although oddsmakers are split on which pass-catcher it will be.”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
No evidence was found in the provided search results or Wikipedia entries regarding the Jets owning a second first-round pick at No. 16 or their expected selection of a wide receiver.

Claim 5: “Reese, who had 6.5 sacks for the Buckeyes last season, has been a consensus top-five prospect throughout the draft process, but the Jets had repeatedly been connected to Bailey, who is also expected to get his name called early Thursday.”
CORROBORATED
The evidence confirms Reese's sack total (6.5 sacks) and his status as a top prospect. It also confirms the comparison between Reese and David Bailey for the No. 2 pick, with the Jets being linked to Bailey in the context of the draft.

Claim 6: “As recently as Thursday morning, Reese was locked in a two-horse race with Texas Tech defensive end David Bailey to be the second player taken behind Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza, who is all but assured to go No. 1 to the Raiders.”
CORROBORATED
Multiple web search results confirm the context: Fernando Mendoza is expected to be the No. 1 pick by the Raiders, and following that, the competition for the No. 2 pick was between Arvell Reese and David Bailey. This is reported across different search snippets.

Claim 8: “Bailey is still +200 to be the second pick, suggesting the Jets aren’t quite 100 percent settled on which player they’ll take.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The web search results confirm the existence of betting odds comparing Reese and Bailey for the No. 2 pick, and one snippet mentions odds for David Bailey. However, the specific detail that Bailey *still* has +200 odds, implying the Jets haven't finalized their selection, is only present in the context of the search results and lacks independent corroboration.

Claim 9: “Arvell Reese going No. 2 to the Jets is looking more likely by the minute.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The web search results discuss the general topic of draft odds and the players involved, but none of the provided evidence directly states that Arvell Reese going No. 2 is 'looking more likely by the minute' as a developing narrative. The evidence is too general to confirm this specific, time-sensitive progression.
