The New York Jets added seven rookies in the 2025 NFL draft, and they have mostly received positive reviews of their draft haul from the national media.
The Jets had a balanced draft, with four picks coming on offense and three on defense as they entered a new era for the organization. First-year general manager Darren Mougey and first-year head coach Aaron Glenn put their stamp on the team.
They added a few guys who should be able to contribute right away at positions of need, such as tackle Armand Membou and tight end Mason Taylor. They got good value on cornerback Azareye’h Thomas, who was ranked the 70th-best prospect by Pro Football Focus and was drafted at pick 73.
