REPORT: NEW Draft Intel For The New York Jets 2025 Draft Class

[Music] All right, guys. What’s going on? Welcome in. So, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN released an article where he was dishing out different draft intel, little pieces of information for every NFL team. And when it came to the New York Jets, I felt like there was some pretty interesting stuff here. So, let’s dive into it. The first thing he talked about was the first round pick, Armanu. He says, "In the days leading up to the draft, several executives were linking the Jets to offensive tackle Kelvin Banks. The Jets, who were aware of that perception and figured it would be a good smokeokc screen, went with Arman Meu, whose length and football traits remind multiple scouts I trust, of a young Jason Peters. We were fine with people guessing what we’re going to do, said a team source, uh, who added, Meu is is, uh, just scratching the surface of his potential. Yeah, you know, it was interesting, right, in the pre-draft process, it felt like it was either Arman Membu or Tyler Warren. That was the debate amongst Jets fans. That was the debate amongst, you know, different draft insiders, the Mel Kypers, the Daniel Jeremiah’s of the world. And then all of a sudden, we get to the week of the draft and it’s just no one’s talking about Mamboo. Tyler Warren was still in consideration. Um, but the buzz was Jade Baron. the buzz was uh potentially an edge rusher, a Mikel Williams, someone like that, a Jaylen Walker. And of course, as Fowler is alluding to here, Kelvin Banks, right, Rich Seamini was heavy on the Kelvin Banks um not necessarily bandwagon, but that his name didn’t really start popping up until Samini started pushing it. Um but in the end, the Jets wind up with Armand Meu. Fowler goes on to say, "The Jets aren’t overthinking this one. They’re keeping Meu at right tackle, noticing that teams sometimes get in trouble when switching a lineman’s position too often. News flash, playing tackles hard. I mean, what was one of the biggest problems for the Jets young tackles or maybe uh development of younger tackles with this Jets regime over the last four years, right? You’re always kind of looking at these guys playing different positions. I mean, I I hate to sound like a broken record, but every training camp we’re talking about it, right? I I’m coming on doing like the um like the practice recap videos that I’m so excited to film and then I’m seeing tweets from Connor Hughes. I’m seeing tweets from uh Rich Sini, Zack Rosenblad of Oh, Joe Tipman’s playing guard today. Uh Max Mitchell played left tackle yesterday, now he’s playing right tackle today. Mai Beckton, he’s playing on the left side and the right side. Olu fashion who’s playing on the left side and the right side, swapping guys around, moving guys positions. Um, you know, really the goal is, you know, if one guy one guy gets hurt, we need flexibility there. We don’t need to, you know, we’re only signing tackles that can play one position, that means we’re going to have to sign multiple offensive linemen to fill all these different spots. So, I get it from that standpoint. But the reality is if you have a young talented tackle, in the case now with the Jets, you have two young talented tackles in Meu and Olu. Let’s not overthink it. Let’s just ask the question, where have they played the best throughout their college career? What is the position that they feel most comfortable with? And what is the position that they’re going to continue to grow at the best? And the answer is Olu left tackle, Membu right tackle. One of the issues potentially about drafting Kelvin Banks is swapping positions around, right? Again, as Fowler’s bringing up here, the plan is just boom, keep meu at right tackle slides in beautifully. We don’t have to worry about it, right? I’m really really excited to just see what these, you know, what these uh offensive linemen can do in their set positions and there’s no no weirdness about the position swapping. Now, look, if you want to, you know, have a backup swing tackle, sure. If you want to have, you know, maybe like Josh Meyers take reps at guard just in case AVT, who’s been another young player that the Jets have moved around, you know, say Vera Tucker gets hurt, say John Simpson gets hurt, and you want to take, you know, backup snaps with Josh Meyers at guard. That’s that’s fine with me, but I’m not taking the stars of my football team. You know, we can ask the Bills, um, how many how many reps is, uh, Deion Dawkins taking at right guard? How many practices are the Colts lining up Quint Nelson at left tackle? Right. Let’s just keep it status quo. No need to overthink anything. And it seems like that’s exactly what the Jets are going to do. And next up, he brings up Aryan Smith. He says that the Jets are hopeful that fourth round receiver Aryan Smith can curb his drops issue. Expect New York to use him on smoke routes and jet and jet sweeps to utilize his speed early and ease him into the offense. And you know, I know we were just talking about young offensive linemen with the Jets, but you know, an interesting kind of development too that we’ve seen over these last, you know, handful of years. The Jets have really struggled with developing young wide receivers. You know, I know of course the outlier is Garrett Wilson, but at the end of the day, you know, no matter who Garrett was going to be drafted by, he was going to do good things, right? Like such a talented receiver. He’s a top 10 pick. Fantastic at Ohio State. But outside of Garrett, you’re taking a look at the rest of the room, right? Whether it’s Elijah Moore, who didn’t really work out. He just signed with the Buffalo Bills on like a, you know, a super super cheap deal. Um Cleveland, you know, it didn’t really work out there. They didn’t bring him back. Uh Denzel Mims, I believe, is out of football. He was a second round pick that like showed flashes. Obviously last season the Jets were very very very high on Malachi Corley and proceeded to a not really use him and then b when they did you know get him out there he wasn’t really much of that impactful piece. Now how much of that was Hackett? How much of that was Downing? How much that was Rogers? How much of that was Corley himself right not being uh prepared or you whatever the case may be right we don’t have those exact details. So, you know, when we get to the start of the season, uh maybe not so much the start of the season, let let’s say start of preseason, right? If we’re getting positive reports coming out of camp, if we are getting maybe high usage rates in these uh training camp practices with the starters with Malachi Corley in the mix and he’s making plays, coming up with big catches and whatnot, then all of a sudden I’ll be leaning more so, okay, you know what, this coaching staff just, you know, they had no clue, right? the the pri the the previous regime. Like to me, it doesn’t make sense that Joe Douglas had Malachi Corley ranked as the fourth best wide receiver in that class. We trade up to go get him. Supposedly, the Jets have Corley ranked higher than Brian Thomas and Keon Coleman. Uh Xavier Worthy, you know, guy like we all saw what they, you know, those guys did their rookie year and Corley is just like a non-factor in the offense. Again, how much of that was him? how much of that was a misaluation from the front office or the coaching staff. Personally, you know, I’m not going to write him off because the the, you know, the speed, the quickness, the toughness that he showed back at Western Kentucky to me is is is very uh appealing, right? If you’re an offensive minded coach, like, ah man, I want to get this guy the football. You know, of course, we had the the the moment where he dropped the football uh entering the end zone. I believe that was called a touchback or something, which just, you know, it sucked in the moment. And you know, I’m sure it sucked for Corley in that moment having to deal with it. That was like his first t like first big big play at the NFL level, but it is what it is, right? It’s the next chapter. It’s it’s a new year with a new staff and a new scheme. Let’s go out and and kind of make that impact. But going back to Aryan Smith here, you know, man, if if this guy can actually develop, if if we have a coaching staff in place that can actually develop young wide receivers, look at Jameson Williams with Detroit. Starts off a little rocky, starts off with a lot of drops. Now we’re seeing a more consistent version of Jameson Williams. Ahmed Ross St. Brown, fourthround pick. And ironically enough, we actually just saw the lines trade up in the draft for a receiver out of Arkansas, Isaac Tesla, who, you know, is kind of been labeled as this athletic guy, this high upside guy, but doesn’t really have a lot of production in the SEC. So, is there maybe a method to the madness to the Lions see something in in uh, you know, a guy like that? So, it should be interesting to see how this young wide receiving room plays out because all these guys are really young. I mean, even you’re talking about, you know, adding someone new like um, you know, the talk right now is Romeo Dobs. Romeo Dobs is a young player. Chris Olive, he’s a young player. Even if the Jets went out and signed Gabe Davis, he’s still a relatively young player. So, you know, there’s got to be a premium on the development of wide receivers, especially with Justin Fields at the helm, right? He needs to develop, too. Yes, of course, there’s going to be bumps along the way. There’s going to be speed bumps, for sure. you know, we can’t expect A+ performances every single week in a first year regime with a first year quarterback. Um, but I will say this is the time to iron out those things. This is the time to, you know, if you have a question mark, if you have maybe a red flag coming into the season, uh, or sorry, coming into training camp, now is the time to figure out how you’re going to deal with those potential issues. So, let me know your thoughts down below in the comments section. Thanks so much for watching. I appreciate it. And as always, go Jets. [Music]
