New York Jets Mock Draft Roundup 2.0
Throughout the year and leading up to the 2025 NFL Draft, we will update our New York Jets Mock Draft Roundup showing picks for the New York Jets from several prominent sites and draft analysts.
The following are picks in recent mock drafts for the Jets:
7. Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
I'm not buying the "Sanders at No. 1" talk, and I thought about sliding him down further (to the Steelers?), but then I remembered the Jets don't really have a QB. Maybe it doesn't happen, but this pairing would be ... interesting.
7. Will Campbell, OT, LSU
Olu Fashanu replaced Tyron Smith at left tackle, and the thought here is that Will Campbell replaces Morgan Moses at right tackle. New York obviously has a quarterback situation to figure out this offseason as well.
7. Will Campbell, OT, LSU
Building up the trenches is a part of the Jets' plan to compete with the AFC's heavyweights. Campbell is a rock-solid offensive tackle prospect with the size, strength and skill to dominate on the edges from Day 1.
7. Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State
This would be quite the get for the Jets at No. 7. Carter has upside as a true pass rushing ace who would inject the venom back into what has been a deep unit in recent years. Carter has an explosive get-off and the bend to turn the corner on tackles. He's still inconsistent playing the run, which means you won't see many Carter-Will McDonald pairings on early downs, but he would keep the cupboard full of pass rushing options for Aaron Glenn and new defensive coordinator Steve Wilks.
The Athletic — Baumgardner/Dochterman
7. Mason Graham, IDL, Michigan
Not sure we can rule out a top-five spot for Graham. He's clearly the top interior tackle in this class and the type of versatile difference-maker inside (at age 21) every team covets. He can play in any scheme, inside or out, and he will absolutely help a team's culture.
The Jets could use all of that.

42. Jaxson Dart, QB, Mississippi
The Jets have a giant question mark at quarterback, and this is the right spot to take a shot. Dart led college football's most electrifying offense and has the type of arm that can guide any aerial attack.
7. Will Johnson, CB, Michigan
The obvious roster question heading into the offseason is the status of Aaron Rodgers and who will be under center for the Jets. With that said, Johnson has outstanding size and length, coverage and ball skills with three career pick-sixes, a Michigan record. If the draft plays out like this, two AFC East teams would battle for the best cornerback tandem in the league for a long time.
7. Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona
The Jets have secured their new direction — another defensive-minded coach is set to take the reins in Aaron Glenn. Glenn saw firsthand what a physical mentality can bring to a franchise, and with Aaron Rodgers & Davante Adams' future in flux, the Jets may be a team in offensive transition. A big, physical receiver like Tet McMillan could go a long way in helping to provide the Jets with a physical identity.
7. Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State
Warren is one of my favorite players in this draft. He will be popular with his quarterback and running backs as a difference-making in-line tight end.
7. Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia
This is another team with quarterback questions, but regardless of Aaron Rodgers' future, the Jets might focus instead on the other side of the ball in Round 1. I'm getting the sense that Williams will get drafted higher than most expect -- he's No. 12 on my board -- and he could give New York more presence off the edge. He needs coaching (Aaron Glenn would be great for his development if the Jets hire him) and has room to grow with his pass-rush technique. But I see the potential for 10-12 sacks per season here.
Williams reminds me of another former Georgia edge rusher who didn't have the college stats but absolutely had the talent: Travon Walker. So while five sacks -- Williams did miss time with an ankle injury -- might make you pause, know that he looks the part and has the traits to be a force in the NFL.
