The Jets added the 118th pick in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft on Thursday in a trade with the Seahawks, extending a draft-day run that had already pushed Darren Mougey through three earlier deals. New York sent Seattle pick No. 199 in the sixth round and No. 242 in the seventh round to move up.
It was the fourth trade Mougey executed in the 2026 NFL Draft, a pace that kept the Jets active across all three days. On day 1, New York sent picks No. 33 and No. 179 to the San Francisco 49ers for pick No. 30. On day 2, the Jets swapped pick No. 44 with the Detroit Lions for picks No. 50 and No. 128. On day 3, they exchanged picks No. 128 and No. 140 for picks No. 110 and No. 199 with the Bengals before turning No. 199 into the 118th pick with Seattle.
The latest move fits the pattern of a front office willing to keep shifting draft capital instead of sitting still, even as the board thinned late in the process. The source offering the trade details included links to other Jets draft stories, but it provided no additional information about the player selected with the acquired pick.
For the Jets, the sequence leaves one clear takeaway: Mougey spent the draft trying to turn small pockets of value into better position, and he did it again with one of the final meaningful moves of the weekend.
