However, now the team needs a right tackle. Despite New York selecting Olu Fashanu with their first-round pick a year ago, another could be picked early again. Specifically, Missouri's Armand Membou has been a popular mock selection for the Jets with the seventh slot.

When Jets general manager Darren Mougey turns in his first pick in the NFL Draft on Thursday night – he starts the day holding onto the No. 7 overall pick – it’ll mark the fifth time in the last 20 years a new regime has made its first pick in the NFL Draft.

The New York Jets are once again beginning anew in 2025. They have a new general manager, new head coach and a new quarterback, as the Aaron Rodgers experiment failed. However, there's reason to be optimistic about this franchise's future.
