The Aaron Glenn era has begun with the
New York Jets
, and we’ve witnessed some changes to the lineup during this off-season. While there are several key players forming the base of the team, much more development is still necessary. The
2025 NFL Draft
provides numerous opportunities to enhance their comprehensive skill set, with hopes of achieving a significant breakthrough in 2025.
With quarterback Justin Fields set to be the starter, bolstering his supporting cast is crucial. This strategy took precedence during the initial stages of the draft. Additionally, the team fortified their defense with key additions throughout these seven rounds of simulations.
Round 1, Pick 7: Armand Membou, Offensive Tackle from Missouri
The Jets have numerous options, yet strengthening their offensive line remains a prudent choice. Membou stands out as a towering offensive lineman with remarkable agility. He naturally fits into the role of right tackle, though he also holds potential for several other positions.
Round 2, Pick 42: Tre Harris, WR,
Ole Miss
Harris is a strong boundary receiver that has some of the best ball skills in the entire class. He also showed improved route running in 2024 as well. You aren’t going to create a ton of home runs with Harris, but you will hit a lot of singles and doubles.
Round 3, Selection 73: Elijah Arroyo, Tight End from Miami
Arroyo might stand out as one of the best at manipulating space among tight ends. His movements are exceptionally fluid, and he has significant potential when it comes to gaining yards after catch. Arroyo perfectly embodies what a contemporary tight end should be for today’s pace of the game.
Round 4, Selection 110: David Walker, EDGE from Central Arkansas
You might choose to ignore Walker because of his size, but he stands out as one of the top pass rushers in this draft class. He knows how to exploit leverage, possesses a wide array of pass rushing techniques, and is extremely agile which aids him in making significant impacts.
Round 5, Pick 145: Justin Walley, CB, Minnesota
There may not be a better kept secret in this class than Walley. Despite being a bit smaller, Walley is physical and moves well overall. There is some upside as an outside cornerback or nickel.
Round 5, Selection 162: Logan Brown, Offensive Tackle, University of Kansas
A lesser-known player from the 2025 offensive line class, Brown possesses valuable attributes that he can further develop. His movements are fluid, and his physique allows for the addition of quality mass as he progresses. This presents an excellent opportunity for long-term growth and development.
Round 6, Selection 186: Brashard Smith, Running Back, SMU
Smith began his career as a Miami wide receiver, and only spent one year as a running back with the Mustangs. He is explosive, and really comfortable in space. While Smith might be limited as an early down ball carrier, he should at least become a nice pass game weapon.
Round 6, Pick 207: Que Robinson, EDGE,
Alabama
If Robinson hadn’t gotten injured, we’d likely be discussing him much more frequently. He possesses great length and explosiveness, along with a genuine potential for making an impact as a pass rusher at the higher level.
