NFL Draft Day 2: What will the Jets and Giants do next?

PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania (WABC) -- On Friday, the New York Giants selected Tennessee cornerback Colton Hood with the 37th pick in the NFL Draft.

The New York Jets traded their pick and selected Indiana cornerback D'Angelo Ponds with the 50th pick.

This is a breaking news update.

Eight teams are still waiting to make their first selection of the NFL draft after a chaotic opening round that featured a flurry of trades.

Just 16 of the 32 first-round picks chosen Thursday night were made by the original teams that owned them. The 49ers and Bills traded out of the first round, joining the Falcons, Bengals, Packers, Broncos, Jaguars and Colts on the sideline.

San Francisco is slated to kick off the second round with the first pick after making two deals to move down from 27 to 30 to 33. Buffalo made three trades, going from 26 to 28 to 31 to 35.

The Giants pick 37th in Round 2, while the Jets have the 44th pick (from Dallas). The Giants will still be looking to add to the interior of their defense later on Days 2 and 3 after trading Dexter Lawrence II to the Cincinnati Bengals over the weekend for the 10th pick, which they used on Francis Mauigoa.

Giants select Arvell Reese and Francis Mauigoa with 5th and 10th picks in the NFL draft

The Giants selected Ohio State edge rusher Arvell Reese with the fifth pick in the NFL draft, then took Miami offensive tackle Francis Mauigoa at No. 10, sticking with their stance of going with the best players available rather than filling a need.

Reese, the first player drafted with coach John Harbaugh in charge, joins a defense that ranked 30th out of 32 teams in the league last season but already had a wealth of talent at the position with Brian Burns, Kayvon Thibodeaux and the No. 3 pick a year ago, Abdul Carter. Mauigoa provides young protection for franchise quarterback Jaxson Dart.

Jets take Texas Tech's Bailey, Oregon's Sadiq and Indiana's Cooper in busy 1st round

The Jets selected Texas Tech edge rusher David Bailey with the No. 2 overall pick in the NFL draft and took Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq at No. 16.

They traded back into the first round Thursday night and took Indiana wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. at No. 30. Bailey provides coach Aaron Glenn with a strong pass-rushing presence for a defense that struggled last season.

Sadiq set a school record for tight ends with 51 receptions last season. Cooper was a major playmaker for No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza for national champion Indiana.

The Jets have endured 10 straight losing seasons and 15 years in a row without making the playoffs.
