Draft week is finally here and with it comes my latest and final 7-round mock draft for the New York Jets.
Starting with the 7th overall pick, and three others in the Top-75, the Jets are sitting in a great spot to land some impact players but the challenge comes with whether or not the board shakes out in the team's favor.
As we get closer and closer to the draft, one thing is getting more clear, the Jets are relying on Aaron Glenn to get the most out of every single player on the roster.
As it currently stands, the following picks are where the Jets are set to pick in the draft:
- Round 1, No. 7 overall
- Round 2, No. 42 overall
- Round 3, No. 73 overall
- Round 4, No. 110 overall
- Round 5, No. 145 overall
- Round 5, No. 162 overall
- Round 6, No. 186 overall
- Round 6, No. 207 overall
For the first time I will allow for trades in my mock draft and the Jets make a big one.
Round 1, No. 7 overall: Armand Membou, OT, Missouri Tigers
I have been as vocal as I can be about the Jets needing to go a different route this draft than another offensive tackle (what would be their third in five years), but the more I look at the tea leaves, the more I believe this will be the pick. There has been some late speculation that the Jets are really enamored with Penn State’s Tyler Warren, but I have been down this road before.
I’ll say it again, Membou is a beast. It isn’t the player I would have an issue with, but the need to draft him.
He’s really twitchy and sudden with unreal quickness for his size. He had a fantastic combine in meetings and on the field. He clocked a 4.91 40-yard dash with a 1.74 10-yard split, and he vertical jumped 34 inches and broad jumped 9-7. Membou has the potential to be a 10-year starter at the right tackle position for the Jets.
Round 2, No. 42 overall: Jayden Higgins, WR, Iowa State
Higgins is a classic X receiver, with good production and athletic ability to grow in the NFL. He's 6-foot-4 and 214 pounds and showed his explosion at the combine with a 39-inch vertical. Higgins caught 87 passes last season for 1,183 yards and nine touchdowns.
He’s smooth but physical in his routes and does a nice job of creating pockets of separation with force and strength. We all know the New York Jets love the Iowa State guys and there is a lot to love about Higgins.
TRADE UP
Jets jump back up to the end of the second round in a move with the Detroit Lions. The Jets receive pick the 60th overall pick in exchange for their third-round pick, (Number 73) one of their two fifth-round selections (number 145) and one of their two sixth-round selections (number 186).
Round 2, No. 60 overall: Elijah Arroyo, TE, Miami
Darren Mougey jumps at an opportunity to add not one, but two pass catchers in the second round for new QB Justin Fields. Arroyo may not be the record breaking tight end that Tyler Warren is, but he is a fantastic value in the back end of the second round as the third best tight end in the class.
He is a very smooth athlete and his YAC upside is high. He knows how to play the game in space and that is something Justin Fields is going to be able to create plenty of. He may not be the asset in the run game that Loveland or Warren are at the position, but he is a real threat catching the ball.
Round 4, No. 110 overall: C.J. West, DT, Indiana
The Jets had a problem last year stopping the run up front and C.J. West would be a big part of turning that around. And I mean a big part. At 6-foot-1 and 316 pounds, he gets enough push to collapse the pocket. West has a low center of gravity and strong hands to get into linemen. His run defense was solid, with 12 run stops and 8.5 tackles for loss. It was the fourth straight season that West had at least seven tackles for loss and double-digit run stops. He needs to improve on his pass rush, but for now, he would be a welcome addition to a Jets front on early downs.
Round 5, No. 162 overall: Fadil Diggs, EDGE, Syracuse
Diggs is a former four-star recruit who spent his first few seasons in college at Texas A&M before transferring to Syracuse. He has raw, foundational skills that could allow him to make a leap and be a productive NFL pass rusher.
He is more of a pass rusher than a run stopper, but he has the qualities to improve in both areas. I could see Diggs being a newer version of Bryce Huff for the Jets if given the time and coaching to develop.
Round 6, No. 207 overall: Upton Stout, CB, Western Kentucky
You don’t need to be huge to play in the NFL and Upton Stout is hoping he can make the case. He's only 5-foot-9 and 181 pounds. But he maximizes his talent, and he's tough to get off the field because he prepares well and has an impressive skill set. He has good instincts and is a sure tackler. If he were a little taller we might be talking about him in the third or fourth round.
