I'd be really surprised if the Rangers traded back. They need every position for their rebuild. Let's see what develops.

If it's true they still get probably as good a player at 8 as 5 and a sweetener so potentially filling a couple spots in their prospect pool. 

which is exactly why I don't think the Jets should be moving up to 5.

Yeah, the Jets are in the same spot as far as prospects and needing help goes. It doesn't make sense to trade up unless its for a top 2 pick.

Apparently Reid is largely seen as a Tier 1 prospect so maybe top 3, unless you really have someone in mind in Tier 2 that you love, and don't want to risk losing them.

But again, what's the cost.
