Why

New York needs to reinforce OT and TE; neither position has a clear starter nor reliable depth. Beyond that, EDGE and S also require competition to avoid falling short in the medium term.

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

2 names

OT#8 · T1

Carter Smith

Indiana

Smith es el anchor confiable que el lado ciego necesitaba. Su floor es altísimo ya en el 1er año, solo falta pulir el leverage bajo.

EDGE#4 · T1

Colin Simmons

Texas

EDGE

Colin tiene el pop para ser un pass rusher top en la liga. Con ese primer paso, ya es una amenaza en tercer down.

Second round

2 names

TE#30 · T2

Jamari Johnson

Oregon

Johnson trae el mismatch aéreos que tanto hace falta aquí. Una apuesta de alto techo si lo pulen en lo bloqueo, pero ya es un arma instantánea.

EDGE#26 · T2

Damon Wilson II

Miami

EDGE

Un EDGE que trae la velocidad que les falta. Va a estresar a los tackles, aunque su anchor en carrera necesita un parche.

Third round

3 names

OT#83 · T3

Anthonie Knapp

Notre Dame

Resuelve la urgencia de LT. El tipo tiene el atletismo de los grandes, pero el ancla tiene que mejorar un montón para que sea titular.

View profile

TE#66 · T3

Terrance Carter

Texas Tech

Resuelve ese agujero en TE, un creador de juego nato que le da una dimensión nueva a la ofensiva. Apuesta alta, pero el techo es de WR1, si aguanta los bloqueos.
