5 Players The New York Jets MUST Consider Drafting in The First Round | 2025 NFL Draft

[@TheMockDraftGuy]

Who do you want the Jets to Draft in the First Round? 🤔

[@wraynephew6838]

Mason Graham, Michigan Wolverines Defensive Tackle. If the Jets can get Tetairoa McMillion in the early 2nd round I would be estatic, but I doubt that happens

[@TheMockDraftGuy]

@@wraynephew6838never heard of him.

9. TE TYLER WARREN ....only in a trade back to 18 or under 8. OT KELVIN BANKS JR.. only if we traded back to 13 and under. 7. EDGE MIKE GREEN... only in a trade back to 12 and under 6. S. MALACHAI STARKS only in a trade back to 10 and under 5. CB. WILL JOHNSOHN* 4. WR. TET McMILLIAN *×? 3. CB/WR TRAVIS HUNTER*×? 2. EDGE. ABDUL CARTER**×? 1. DT.

Kelvin Banks jr and Tyler Warren perhaps. Shake things up

[@revo1974]

Jaxxon Dart QB

[@josephgunnels1726]

Tyler Warren of PSU is the Tight End that Jets need to draft. Stud! Bolsters O line too !

[@TheMockDraftGuy]

Not @ 7.

[@AStewSr]

@@josephgunnels1726 I would love him, but only if we trade back to around 12. But if DT Mason Graham or CB Will Johnson Falls to us We have to take that.. in my opinion, we have more of a desperate need on the defense than a TE even if that means he could help the RT on offense. If we can’t stop the other teams offense and we’re always behind then we have to pass. We can’t run the ball and control the clock. That’s what happened last year with Aaron Rodgers. We were always behind. We couldn’t get the defense off the field and get the offense back on the field. Having to pass all the time just open the door up for other teams defenses to just pin their ears back and blitz Aaron Rodgers all day.

[@jg11x11]

Unfortunately I see him ending up on the Colts or the Bears. If the Jets pick him 1st it be a bullseye as like you said it’s a 2 for 1

That’s cool with me, I’ve been a big advocate for Howard.

[@lbcoach2295]

Never happening

[@TheMockDraftGuy]

And why is that?

[@lbcoach2295]

@@TheMockDraftGuy just not. And here's better. Why would they take another interior d lineman in the first round AGAIN?? I'm rooting for this tram since 1985 when I was 7. I've seen it all. I'm sick of the recycled picks. Davante adams can go as well. We have yet to address the o line aside from signing 34 and 35 yr old has been tackles. Please I've been there b4

[@TheMockDraftGuy]

@lbcoach2295 oh okay so your logic is, they have taken D-Linemen in the first round before, so let’s not do it again? If you are a team that consistently finds yourself in the Top 10, you should be drafting BPA. Because you have far too many holes to not consider the best player on the board. In this case, it’s Mason Graham.

[@iiLitez]

My list is a bit different, where I’m at with my evaluations so far this is sort of my wishlist rn: 5. Malaki Starks: Would prefer if we traded down 1st tbh. Safety at 7 would leave me with a “meh” feeling initially, but Starks is an elite talent and I don’t think I’ll care how high we took him once he’s picking off Tua twice a year. At the end of the day, taking the best player on the board is never a bad idea and it is a huge need as well 4. Trade Down: There’s really only 3 realistic options for us that I would stick and pick for, if they aren’t on the board I would try to move down. This is a dramatically weaker class at the top than previous years with a ton of “good” but not “elite” talent. Why be the 1st team to take a “good” player when you can move back, collect more picks, and still get a “good” player on top of it 3. Tet McMillan: A good compliment to Garrett and can replace Devante Adams once he leaves (if he even stays at all) and Allen Lazard IMMEDIATELY, his release at the line needs a lot of work but his size, hands, and sneaky craftiness with the ball in his hands gives us a WR archetype we don’t have 2. Tyler Warren (hot take) I’m a lot higher on Warren than most people with him being my #4 player in the class. We struggle with run blocking and we need another weapon on offense. Tyler Warren is arguably a better run blocker than Olu (not joking) and has hands as good as Garrett. I watch his tape and I see George Kittle and I want that on this team! Now ideally we trade down 1st and then grab him but if we can’t find a partner I would STILL take him at 7! 1. Will Johnson: If he’s there, run the card up! This guy’s instincts and athleticism are ridiculous. Would give us another lockdown corner opposite of Sauce but he also has the elite ball skills that Sauce lacks to create turnovers! HM: Mason Graham: IMO, Mason Graham is good but not elite. He’s not Jalen Carter coming out of Georgia, he’s not Q coming out of Alabama, he’s just a solid, steady high end #2 guy in my eyes and there’s a ton of “good” DTs that I believe are not that far off from Graham talent-wise that will be sitting right there for us in round 2. I wouldn’t hate the pick if it was Graham but I think we’d be missing out on some truly elite talent if we took him at 7

[@TheMockDraftGuy]

[@jetted_out]

Im liking will johnson at 7th and jaxson dart second round

[@charlesm7646]

Shaduer has Jamis Winston vibes to me.

[@TheMockDraftGuy]

Not the same arm

[@charlesm7646]

@ I was speaking more to him potentially being an entertaining spot starter / backup in the league. I could easily see him fall out of the top ten in the draft.

[@AStewSr]

He will be fine. More like Tua than Winston but with a lot less speed and arm strength

[@TheMockDraftGuy]

@charlesm7646 yeah I agree, I could see that.

[@AStewSr]

@@TheMockDraftGuy I think if he gets with a team runs a West Coast offense, that has a true#1WR, a#2WR, a really great possession 3rd down WR like a Wayne Chrebet, Julian Edelman or Wes Welker and a pass catching TE. He would be perfect for that offense.. he’s accurate enough he just needs to be able to get the ball out and that offense has limited reads so he should be fine if he gets to the right coordinator that understands that

[@Kourtneynj]

[@mitchstaff8281]

Green weighed 251 at the SB. Definitely worth 7 just not for Jets. Graham probably gone but him and Williams would be formidable.

[@TheMockDraftGuy]

I couldn’t remember if it wasn’t 236 or 251. Green could absolutely be valuable for the Jets at 7.

[@carloscoloma4625]

Good

[@gitmobob1714]

In a draft very deep in DTs, taking one at 7 may not make sense. What happens in this draft is very dependent on what happens with AR.

[@TheMockDraftGuy]

Why wouldn’t you want the best of a good bunch?

[@AStewSr]

Im sorry, but taking the best DT and putting him next to Quinnen Williams is a no-brainer. Call me old fashioned, but if you didn't see the NYJ's SACK EXCHANGE from the 80's you wouldn't understand how devastating being able to get to the QB from the inside and the outside is. Those two will eat double teams and allow Quincy and Sherwood to move freely to make tackles and cover RBs and TEs out of the back field. It gives McDonald and Johnsohn 1vs1 on the outside giving them a better chance at winning those battles. It makes cover WRs and RBs much easier because our DBs don't have to cover them for more than 5 seconds. The fastest way to the QB is up the middle. In a conference with Allen, Mahomes, Lamar, Burrow, Stroud, Fields, Maye, Milton, Richardson, we have to be able to get to the QB. The biggest problem the NYJ had last year was not the offense or the Oline. It was the fact that the defense couldn't stop the run and get off the field on 3rd and 4th downs. MG is arguably the best interior Dlineman in the class. I would still draft another DT in round 4-7 because we need the depth, and the talent is available in those rounds along with RB.

[@TheMockDraftGuy]

💯

[@gitmobob1714]

@TheMockDraftGuy First, when drafting in the top 10 I prefer to get someone at a premium position and DT is not a premium position. Second, when a draft is deep at a position why not draft a player at another position of need and hopefully get a good player later on. If DT was the only pressing need then take him but the Jets have many holes to fill.

[@TheMockDraftGuy]

I don’t know if you watch Jets football or not. But they were consistently punched in the teeth by teams running in between the tackles. Maybe it’s not a premium position, but it’s arguably their biggest need. When a position is needed that badly, I don’t care if it’s “premium” or not.

[@chrebetcrunch]

Tetairoa McMillan (WR) would be a great pick at #7. Davante Adams will leave if Rodgers does and Lazard needs to be gone no matter who we keep.

[@TheMockDraftGuy]

💯💯💯

[@AStewSr]

I love this evaluation... except for Tet McMillan. I wouldn't hate the pick, but I think there are other WRs in this draft that can be coached up.we could get better value in the 2nd round if he is there by taking WR Savion Williams from TCU. He is 6'5, 230lbs and runs a 4.45 forty. His hands are not as good as McMillan's but he is slightly faster and a High School QB that became a WR and makes circus catches look routine. If we draft DT Mason Graham, S Starks, or CB Johnsohn. It would make sense to go WR or TE. In 2nd rd.

[@TheMockDraftGuy]

Tet is the best Receiver in the draft, doesn’t need to be coached up. I’m all about players can impact from day one. Especially for the Jets, who can’t develop anyone lol.

[@AStewSr]

@@TheMockDraftGuy I understand how you feel and it is helpful to have an impact player right away. However, we have more need for defensive players, especially the D line positions. To me that’s where we want players that could step in and be impactful from day one. If we get a mason Graham , and put him next to Williams. You immediately improve your run defense from a top 30 team, to a top 10 team. And I’m sure you realize that improves the linebacker play and the cornerback play immediately. I have to trust that the new coaching regime can turn around and coach up guys that need a little extra help. I’d like to see someone like Chrebet be offered a chance to come in and work with these young WR‘s. And if we keep Davante Adams, you have no need for McMillan. Draft TCU WR Savion Williams and he’ll be ready to take Adam’s position next season. Lastly, with Big WR’s in our division like Keon Coleman, we need our own big WR red zone threat. I would love a Tyler Warren, but we didn’t draft well enough to be able to take a TE at #7. In this draft so deep with TE talent, we could find one in around 3-5 and trust that the coaches can get him to where we need him to be

[@robertkillian2418]

I like McMillan, i think he can be a true x receiver.

[@TheMockDraftGuy]

100%. He’s the only receiver in this year’s class that I’m confident could be a Mike Evan’s type of receiver.

I want the jets to trade back and get tyler Warren around 17 or 18. For that trade i want additional 2nd pick. Get your DT and Safety or cormer with those picks

[@TheMockDraftGuy]

That’s certainly possible. Just got to hope someone starts to slide that those middling teams want.

[@AStewSr]

In my opinion, this team has too many holes to fill to trade back unless all the top talent that are immediate game changers and force multipliers are gone. If we can get 1 of the TEs later in this draft in 2nd or 3rd rds .. i wouldnt mind that

[@thewho2482]

@AStewSr But that's what teams do when they have a lot of holes. They trade back for multiple picks. I agree with you know the tightend portion. You can get day one starters in the 2nd round.

[@alanponikvar3921]

Warren will not be there at 17 or 18. He will go by 12 or 13.

[@TheMockDraftGuy]

That’s pretty far, can definitely get more too.

[@paulzumbo]

@TheMockDraftGuy well a 2 and maybe a3 or 4. Trade Adams to Dallas for a 2 and a 5. 1st round take a safety or corner back. 2nd round D-lineman , package your other 2nd round pick and maybe your 4th round pick to trade back into bottom of 1st round for pass rusher. You still have 2 3rds and 2 5ths. How about the 20 year old Rt Tackle from LSU , then wide receiver, line backer and whoever is high on the Draft Board. 2 top notch free agents and we are set. The QB from Ohio State is intriguing and the pass rusher from Ohio State is intriguing also.

[@GerardCharlot06]

Hilarious take on Sanders. They said the same thing about Lamar Jackson. These are the facts: the kids coming out today can play. What matters in the NFL is coaching and the makeup of the player. Sanders and Ward are more talented than Bo Nix who’s a little better than Will Levis. But having Sean Payton is the difference.

[@TheMockDraftGuy]

That’s a ridiculous thing to say. Who said Lamar Jackson wasn’t Mobile or didn’t have a good arm? Jackson and Sanders aren’t in the same stratosphere, especially as prospects coming out. Don’t just choose a name to fit your narrative, because that one clearly does not work.

Absolutely would be a waste until 4th round at least. Then id look at Syrcuse kid, Ohio kid, San Diego state kid? I think thats the school.. although even Jackson Dart in the 3rd i might take a chance on

[@TonydaGM]

@TheMockDraftGuy I have been doing QB evaluations since 21, this is the worst QB draft in history, I watched every play every QB. Zach was a better prospect than any QB in this draft other than Shough, and I had Zach as undraftable. The 26 and 27 draft probably have at least 12 QB's much better than any QB in this draft.

[@TonydaGM]

@AStewSr The only QB worth a pick is Shough late, he has real arm talent and a injury history, he would have a floor as a high end backup.

[@TheMockDraftGuy]

@TonydaGM I think it’s crazy to say you wouldn’t take Will Howard or Kyle McCord with a 4th round pick. I’m a big fan of those guys on Day 3.

[@macarthurclutch2666]

If the jets take mason graham 7th overall the whole coaching staff needs to be fired…This is a very deep defensive tackle class you never draft high at a deep position it’s a passing league they should take the best wr cb or de and then you pick the best available dt in the second round.
