The New York Jets are ushering in a new era with general manager Darren Mougey and head coach Aaron Glenn. With quarterback Aaron Rodgers gone, it also provides a clean slate for everyone in what should be a multi-year retool as Glenn creates a new team culture. The Detroit Lions’ model took years to build and New York should be just as patient. It all starts in the 2025 NFL Draft, with our Jets mock draft showing one way this team can rebuild its identity. As the Detroit Lions defensive coordinator, Aaron Glenn had a pretty versatile secondary. Kerby Joseph played over 100 snaps in the slot, 600 playing deep and over 400 snaps in the box while Brian Branch played all over the field.

Texas Longhorns cornerback Jahdae Barron can provide Glenn with a versatile cornerback with Sauce Gardner drawing the top matchups. In fact, Barron has drawn an NFL comparison to Branch from NFL.com‘s Daniel Jeremiah. He allowed just a 34.2 QB rating with a 0-5 TD-INT ratio in coverage this past season, per PFF. Barron’s versatility and playmaking would pair perfectly playing on the same field as Gardner.

South Carolina safety Nick Emmanwori is massive (6-foot-3 and 227 pounds), which is ideal for a strong safety. Emmanwori’s aggressiveness and physicality make him an above-average run defender and he still has the instincts and athleticism to stick with tight ends in coverage. Glenn is the perfect defensive coordinator to maximize Emmanwori’s skillset and a Jets secondary with Gardner, Barron and Emmanwori could be the best in the NFL in a few years.

Below is a compilation of mock drafts. The views expressed are not representative of any Jets personnel. No. 7: OT Armand Membou – Missouri "Membou slides in at right tackle for the Jets. His size, physicality and athleticism would make him a great fit." No.

7: TE Tyler Warren – Penn State "I've been hearing Warren to the Jets for a few weeks. This might seem early for a tight end, but in this draft -- teams should just take their guy where they can get him. In Warren's case, the new regime can turn to its owner, fans and locker room, and say, "This is what we are about." No.7: OT Armand Membou – Missouri "The Jets must provide new quarterback Justin Fields with adequate time to throw -- he has proved effective in the past when he has a clean pocket. Membou's tenacity and pass protection acumen make him a hand-in-glove fit in New York. He has started 30 games over his career, and he allowed just one sack last season."

Yahoo Sports – Nate Tice & Charles McDonald Some New York Jets fans might be clinging to the small hope that their favorite team can sneak into the playoffs this season. More realistic supporters should already be turning their attention to the organization's offseason plans. Aaron Rodgers' future might be set to dominate headlines in the Big Apple again, but the draft is actually more important to the Jets' future. Whoever takes over as the team's GM is going to have big holes to fill. The team's future at quarterback is unsettled no matter what Rodgers elects to do next season.

Additional help at the offensive skill positions is needed. The defense needs a significant infusion of talent with particular gaps at cornerback and edge-rusher. It may be impossible for New York to fill all their roster holes in one draft but making the following selections could help the Jets get back on the right path. Garrett Wilson gives the Jets one quality young wideout to build around, but drafting Tetairoa McMillan would help provide the offense balance on the other side of the formation. He may not fall to where the Jets are projected to pick in Round 1, but they should pounce on him if he does. McMillan is a big, 6-foot-5 wide receiver who knows how to use his size to make contested catches down the field.

He also possesses better speed and agility than most wideouts with his body type. The former Arizona star should be able to help the Jets' offense on intermediate and deep balls right away. The 2025 NFL Draft is less than 24 hours away, and the New York Jets remain one of the biggest wild cards in the top 10. With a number of roster needs and a wide variety of projected targets, the Jets have kept their cards close to the chest. That mystery has only fueled speculation heading into Thursday night. This final seven-round mock draft isn’t about what should happen — it’s a prediction of what we believe the Jets will do.

From a potentially polarizing first-round pick to a few Day 3 sleepers, this mock reflects the buzz, trends, and clues we’ve picked up as draft week has unfolded. Let's take a look at our final Jets mock draft ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft. With the No. 7 overall pick, the Jets opt for a true curveball by selecting Georgia hybrid linebacker/edge rusher Jalon Walker, one of the most polarizing prospects in this year's draft. A versatile, do-it-all defender who lined up everywhere from inside linebacker to wide edge rusher in college, Walker brings elite athleticism, intelligence, and a high motor. The New York Jets brought the Aaron Rodgers era to an end during the 2025 NFL offseason after two disappointing seasons.

The 41-year-old was released as the team's new brain trust of Aaron Glenn and Darren Mougey sought a younger alternative at quarterback. The Jets found their 2025 starter in Justin Fields, who they signed to a two-year, $40 million contract with $30 million guaranteed in free agency. Now, New York will be tasked with building their roster around Fields. The Jets seem likely to use the 2025 NFL draft to do that while placing an emphasis on adding weapons around their young quarterback and improving the team's blocking at right tackle. Here's a look at what the Jets could do with their eight selections in the 2025 NFL draft. The Jets seem increasingly likely to take an offensive player with the seventh pick.

More specifically, Will Campbell, Armand Membou and Tyler Warren are rumored to be the team's top three options with its first-round pick, per ESPN's Rich Cimini. The New York Jets parted ways with QB Aaron Rodgers this offseason, opting to bring in free agent Justin Fields instead. Having embraced the reset button, the Jets now look ahead to building around Fields. While the organization filled the need at quarterback, they still have potential needs at wide receiver, tight end, and across their defense. To simplify our job, I’ve outlined some team needs we can use in this New York Jets 2025 NFL Draft Mock Draft, which features all 7 rounds. If you look at the 2025 NFL Draft up to this point, this really feels like the first opportunity to see a team trade up.

The Jets have several needs, but those positions have plenty of depth in this class. Whether it’s wide receiver, tight end, or offensive tackle, there are plenty of options on day two or early day three. With that being said, I’m not doing trades in this New York Jets 7-round mock draft. Instead, I’ll go best player available in Tetairoa McMillan. There has been some discussion about him falling in this class. However, I’m not buying it.

Give me the 6′ 5″ big-bodied outside receiver all day. As I mentioned above, it currently seems that the Jets will rely on Carter Warren to start at right tackle. Through two seasons with the Jets, Warren has only 542 snaps on the offensive line. We don’t really know where the organization stands on him, but his PFF grade isn’t very solid. I’ll start this analysis off by stating that I don’t believe Fannin will make it all the way to pick 73. He’s TE3 on my board, and by a pretty good margin nonetheless.

However, I also think there are some valid concerns with him. As I stated on X while watching him live at the Senior Bowl, I think Fannin has shown what he can and can’t do on the football field. With that being said, I think he more than fits the need as a receiving threat for New York. The arrival of the annual, highly-anticipated event means that it's time to file the final mock drafts before all 32 teams decide which players they will choose in hopes of changing their franchise during... This year's draft will be the first for multiple new front office regimes, including the Jets who are led by a first-year head coach Aaron Glenn and general manager Darren Mougey. Yet again, the Jets pick in the top-10.

It's something the organization has consistently done since the turn of the century. So how will Glenn and Mougey attack their first draft together in order of trying to get the Jets back to relevancy and end a near two-decade playoff drought? It all starts with the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay. The New York Jets are starting over. The Robert Saleh and Joe Douglas eras ending during last season, and this offseason the team hired former Detroit Lions defensive coordinator -- and Jets defensive back -- Aaron Glenn as their head coach... That new braintrust has a lot of work to do when it comes to building out the current roster.

The Jets have needs up and down the board. You don't go 5-12 by accident. Luckily, they have a couple of premium picks available to add high-end talent, and they have eight draft picks overall. That gives them plenty of opportunities to fill some of the holes remaining on the team. As for what direction they'll ultimately go, well, that's why we're here. Throughout this week, we're conducting seven-round mock drafts for notable teams around the league, and the Jets are one of those teams.

In this case, we're going to run through a full seven-round mock draft using Pro Football Focus' mock draft simulator. There are a lot of different areas of the roster that we need to hit, so it's going to be quite an interesting exercise. Without further ado... The 2025 NFL Draft is to take place from April 24-26 at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
