The New York Jets are finally at the 2025 NFL draft.

This year’s event begins on Thursday from Green Bay with the first round. Then Day 2 is slated for Friday and the remainder of the draft is on Saturday.

Heading into the draft, New York holds eight total selections including No. 7 overall. Of those eight, the Jets have one in each of the first four rounds as well.

Let’s make our final predictions no via editor Nick Wojton and contributing writer Craig Moffett.

Here is Jets Wire’s final 2025 draft mock:

Round 1, pick 7:

Wojton’s pick: OL Armand Membou, Missouri

It’s a clear need for the Jets at right tackle and Membou is the top one on just about every draft board.Membou’s draft stock jumped following his efforts last season. Pro Football Focus‘ grade on him was a 90.6 in 12 games played in 2024, up from a 67.1 the year prior.

Moffett’s pick: TE Tyler Warren, Penn State

It’s no secret the Jets need weapons for Justin Fields and new offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand would love to have a playmaker like Warren, who fits the mold of his former tight end in Detroit, Sam Laporta. Historically, Jets offenses have never been centered around the tight end position, so it’s understandable if some may consider it a reach at seven.  However, Warren’s athleticism, blocking and playmaking ability are too good to pass up and he would serve as a security blanket for Fields in the Jets passing game.

Round 2, pick 42:

Wojton’s pick: DT Omarr Norman-Lott, Tennessee

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.

Moffett’s pick: DT Tyliek Williams, Ohio State

We can laugh until we’re blue in the face at the contract that Javon Kinlaw got from the Washington Commanders, but it did leave a decent sized hole on the Jets defensive line. The Jets added a few rotational linemen in Byron Cowart, Jay Tufele and Derrick Nnadi, but neither of them are every down linemen that can handle a heavy workload. Williams is huge at 6’2, 334 lbs. He’s quick off the line and can get after the quarterback. He’ll make life easier for Quinnen Williams and make the defensive line much stronger against the run, where they were a bit of a roller coaster last season.

Round 3, pick 73:

Wojton’s pick: 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.

Moffett’s pick: OT Ozzy Trapilo, Boston College

If the Jets pass on Missouri OT Armand Membou with the seventh pick, it’s not the end of the world as this is a very strong offensive line class. They’ll probably add a veteran lineman like Jedrick Wills to compete with Chukwuma Okorafor for the right tackle position after the draft.  But, they’ll walk out of this draft with at least one offensive lineman and a player like Trapilo would fit perfectly as a swing tackle this season before taking over the right tackle spot full time in 2026. Trapilo only allowed two sacks last season at Boston College. He was very strong as a run blocker and can pick up blitzes well. He needs to work on being more consistent, but it’s nothing to raise any flags about as he’s one of the more underrated linemen in this draft. 

Round 4, pick 110:

Wojton’s pick: S Jaylen Reed, Penn State

While the Jets did address their secondary in free agency, another defensive back could be an option at the draft. Reed is a versatile player that can play in difference schemes and is a solid player defending the run. Reed will have to round out his entire game in the pros, but it’s possible he could do that working under head coach Aaron Glenn in New York… a former defensive back himself.

Moffett’s pick: S Kevin Winston Jr., Penn State

The Jets are very thin at safety as they only have Andre Cisco and Tony Adams at the top of the depth chart. This is a position that may be addressed earlier in the draft and there has been some chatter that if they select Texas CB Jahdae Barron with the seventh overall pick to start opposite Sauce Gardner, Brandon Stephens could move to safety, his old position in college. Winston Jr. has size (6’1, 215 lbs.) and was a terrific run defender at Penn State. He only played three games last season before suffering a season ending injury. He’s an excellent tackler in open space, something the Jets were absolutely terrible at under Robert Saleh. He’ll need to improve his pass coverage skills, but would still be a solid addition to the Jets secondary. There’s a good chance he may not be on the board when the Jets make their pick in the fourth round, but if he is, they should be running up to the podium to select him as he could be one of the steals of this draft.
