Overview

• The Jets selected seven players in the 2025 NFL Draft, including offensive tackle Armand Membou at No. 7, embodying the team's new culture-focused philosophy.
• General Manager Darren Mougey and Head Coach Aaron Glenn executed three trade-ups to secure players who fit their 'tough, physical, violent, aggressive' identity.
• The team deliberately bypassed immediate positional needs like quarterback to prioritize players with psychological and cultural traits matching their vision.
• Post-draft, the Jets announced plans to continue scouting UFL games and undrafted free agents, emphasizing that the roster remains a work in progress.
• This draft marks the first major step in a shift from a star-driven strategy to a foundational, bottom-up approach aimed at ending the franchise's 14-year playoff drought.
