Here are all of the Jets' picks and reported undrafted free-agents signings from the 2025 NFL Draft...


DAY 3

Round 5, pick No. 176: Tyler Baron

The Jets made another trade to move up to the last pick of the fifth round, allowing them to snag a second Miami defender. New York sent their sixth-rounder (pick No. 186) and a 2026 fifth-round pick to the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for pick No. 176 and a 2026 sixth-round selection.

Baron is from Knoxville, TN and played four years at Tennessee (50 tackles and 13.5 sacks over 48 games) before transferring to Miami. He earned Honorable Mention All-ACC honors in 2024, making a career-high 38 combined tackles (18 solo tackles) and was tied for the team lead with 11 TFLs plus 5.5 sacks in 13 games.

The 6-foot-5, 258-pound EDGE is an "active worker with a slippery upper body" and has the "versatility to play with his hand down or standing up," according to NFL.com

Round 5, pick No. 162: Francisco Mauigoa

Mougey continued to try and improve the defense, using the pick they acquired from the Eagles to take a linebacker.

Mauigoa was born in American Samoa, splitting time in high school between there and California, before attending Washington State (2021-2022) and Miami (2023-2024). He earned Second-team All-ACC honors in both years at Miami, leading the team in tackles each season (82 tackles and 7.5 sacks in 2023, 96 tackles and two sacks in 2024).

The 6-foot-2, 233-pound linebacker has "the frame and physicality of a throwback banger," according to NFL.com, and is "proactive downhill."

Round 4, pick No. 130: Malachi Moore

New York traded up to pick No. 130, sending a fifth-rounder (pick No. 145) and a sixth-rounder (pick No. 207) to the Philadelphia Eagles in order to take another defensive back.

Moore (5-foot-11, 196 pounds) was a team captain at Alabama the past two years, and was a Second-team AP All-American and First-team All-SEC player in 2024 after making a career-high 70 combined tackles. The safety recorded 214 combined tackles (127 solo tackles) over 64 career games (five seasons) with 16 tackles for loss, seven interceptions, 2.5 sacks, and 25 passes defended.

NFL.com notes he "could be asked to line up as a nickelback or split safety" and is better in coverage than against the run.

Round 4, pick No. 110: Arian Smith

The Jets already got a new weapon for Justin Fields with TE Mason Taylor, but GM Darren Mougey wasn't done and added a wide receiver in the fourth round.

Smith, who's listed at 6-foot and 179 pounds, led Georgia with 817 receiving yards in 2024 and made 48 receptions with four touchdowns. The 23-year-old ran a 4.36 second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, showing off the speed that helped him while a member of Georgia's track team in 2021. Smith finished eighth in the 100 meters at the SEC Outdoors and led off the 4x100 relay team that finished second at NCAA Outdoors.

He will fit in nicely with Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard, and the rest of the WR room, giving New York a legit deep threat.

DAY 2

Round 3, pick No. 73: Azareye'h Thomas

The Jets finally went defense, selecting Florida State cornerback Azareye'h Thomas with the 73rd overall pick of the draft.

The 6-foot-2 corner has imposing size and length as a press corner, and his long arms allowed him to be a great catch disruptor in his time at Florida State. In 12 games last season, he totaled a career-high 52 tackles to go with five pass defenses and one interception.

Thomas now joins a cornerback room with Sauce Gardner and Brandon Stephens.

Round 2, pick No. 42: Mason Taylor

With the No. 42 pick, the Jets selected LSU tight end Mason Taylor to bolster the skill position.

The 6-foot-5 Florida native played three seasons at LSU, where he caught at least 36 passes each year. This past season was his high mark, amassing 546 yards on 55 catches and two touchdowns.

The Jets needed a difference-maker on the offensive side of the ball to complement Garrett Wilson. With such a deep tight end class this year, New York was able to bide their time until it was their time to pick, and they got one of the best.

DAY 1

No. 7 pick: Armand Membou

With the No. 7 pick in 2025 NFL Draft, the Jets selected University of Missouri tackle Armand Membou.

Measuring in at a powerful albeit slightly undersized 6-foot-4 and 332 pounds with 33-and-a-half inch arms at the NFL Combine, Membou is an athletic freak, running a 4.91 40-yard dash with a 34-inch vertical. What he may lack in height, Membou makes up for with quickness, agility, and excellent hand usage.

While the Jets will likely say there is an open competition, it’s fair to assume that the team will want to plug Membou in at right tackle from Day One. With Tyron Smith retiring and Morgan Moses gone, it’s time for a youth movement at both tackle spots — and last year’s first-round pick Olu Fashanu on the left and Membou on the right could make up a very talented pair of bookend tackles for years to come in New York.

On paper, a starting offensive line of Fashanu, John Simpson, Joe Tippmann, Alijah Vera-Tucker, and Membou, from left to right, would give the Jets a very talented, and relatively young, offensive line, which could be exactly what the doctor ordered for Justin Fields as he learns a new offense.
