2025 Draft Grade: A-
The Jets wisely avoided drafting a QB in the 2025 Draft, instead selecting OT Armond Membou to fortify the offensive line. The team has invested much draft capital over the years to build their OL, but the unit needs to show results on game day. In 2024, the Jets ranked 16th in rushing yards/attempt at 4.3. And 13th in sack percentage allowed at 6.2%. I think their unit could be top-5 in the 2025 season, which could give Justin Fields a chance to blossom. To that end, TE Mason Taylor was added in RD2. Taylor brings both pass-catching and blocking acuity to the Jets' offense. Rounding out Day-2 was the addition of Azareye'h Thomas to the CB corps. The Jets like'm tall. The rangy 6'2" Thomas is just 20 years old (July 6 birthday) and has room to develop with tutelage from Sauce Gardner.
Day 3 brought the team a raft (with 4 constituting a raft) of mid-round picks. WR Arian Smith, picked in RD4, will compete for playing time in a weak WR room. The other three picks went to defense, RD4 pick Malachi Moore being the most intriguing. Moore could push Tony Adams for a starters role right away.
Looking Ahead to the 2026 Draft
In a perfect world, the promising offensive line will allow Justin Fields to develop into a reliable starter with a Baker Mayfield-like trajectory. But for now we have the Jets sill searching for their franchise QB. Elsewhere, the team needs Malachi Moore to develop at safety, as Tony Adams and Andre Cisco hit free agency in 2026. Other needs: the WR room needs lots of help behind Garrett Wilson, who is in contract extension talks. The Jets will need WR help to stop the double-teams on Wilson.

JETS HISTORICAL DRAFT PICKS
Reach/Value (R/V) Explained
The difference between where a player is selected in the NFL draft versus where the player was listed on the final Drafttek Big Board for the season in question.Example: A player who was listed at #50 on the Big Board and was selected at #35 will be a "Reach" of -15. Alternately, a player listed at #35 on the Big Board who was selected at #50 is a +15 "Value".
Simply put: a positive number is a Value pick, a negative number is a Reach.
