Track record read
Since Mougey's 2022 arrival, the Jets have prioritized athletic tackles and edges in Round 1, exemplified by Fashanu and McDonald. Round 2 often sees them target small-school prospects with elite traits, like Corley or Fleming. This suggests a strategy of high-floor talent in R1 and swinging for upside in R2, unafraid to venture outside traditional conferences when value presents itself. Their selections consistently reinforce the trenches and offensive attack with physical players.
The board · Rounds 1–7
Three names per every pick.
Only the rounds where the team owns a pick (per Tankathon). A blend of need plus best value on the board.
First round
3 names
Carter Smith
Indiana
OTCarter Smith is the LT of the future they need, super high floor thanks to his technique; the best insurance out there.
A.J. Holmes Jr.
Texas Tech
DLAdds a disruptive, versatile anchor the D-line needed. High floor, but he's gotta refine that pass-rush.
Ty Benefield
LSU
SGives them that hybrid safety they've been asking for, the guy who anchors the secondary. Processing is elite, ceiling depends on that stiffness.
Second round
3 names
Anthonie Knapp
Notre Dame
OTThey get the athletic LT needed post-Becton. His anchor decides if he's a future line anchor or just a flexible stopgap.
Mikail Kamara
Indiana
DLGives Saleh that explosive EDGE they need in the rotation. If he holds the anchor, the pass-rush ceiling is high.
Bray Hubbard
Alabama
SImmediate secondary fix, Hubbard anchors the defense with his processing. Starter floor, ceiling hinges on limited aerial coverage.
Third round
3 names
Melvin Siani
Wake Forest
OTSiani's a LT patch for pass pro. Got feet, hands, but that anchor is a huge trench doubt.
Clev Lubin
Louisville
DLBrings that explosive edge rusher the DL needs. Should be impact rotation from day one, good floor.
Tao Johnson
Utah
SLocks up that versatile secondary Robert Saleh wants. If they clean up the eye discipline, he brings hybrid upside for cheap.
