2025 NFL draft: Jets Wire's Day 2 mock projections

The second day of the 2025 NFL draft is soon approaching.

After selecting offensive lineman Armand Membou with their top pick at No. 7 overall, the New York Jets enter Day 2 of the event with two selection, one in each of the next two rounds. Those selections sit at No. 42 and 73, respectively.

What could the Jets do next?

Here is Jets Wire’s Day 2 mock draft:

Round 2, pick 42: DT Omarr Norman-Lott, Tennessee

The Jets could use a middle defender and this could be a seamless fit.

An experienced player with 44 games played in college and 13.5 sacks under his belt, Norman-Lott looks like a solid piece that could fit right next to Quinnen Williams in the middle of the Jets’ defensive line. Norman-Lott has a solid mix of ability to play against the run and pass.

Round 3, pick 73: WR Xavier Restrepo, Miami (FL)

While the Jets do not use one of their top selections on a tight end in this prediction, here’s where Restrepo comes in. He’s a shifty wide receiver that could thrive over the middle and in the slot, much like a tight end. A big year in 2024 saw Restrepo grab 69 catches for 1,127 yards and 11 touchdowns.
