The Jets currently have the No. 7 pick in the 2025 draft. Below is a compilation of mock drafts. The views expressed are not representative of any Jets personnel.
No. 7: QB Shedeur Sanders – Colorado
"The Jets, however, might favor drafting a quarterback over trying another veteran. Because they are moving on from Aaron Rodgers, they could opt for the high-end accuracy and field vision of Sanders in an offense that has plenty of pieces already in place. In 2024, Sanders completed 74.0% of his passes, had 4,134 passing yards and threw 37 TDs. Those are all top-four numbers in the FBS. Sanders would elevate this New York team that was near the bottom of the league in most passing metrics this past season and allow it to build around his rookie contract. The youthful combination of Sanders, receiver Garrett Wilson and running back Breece Hall could do some damage."
No. 7: DT Mason Graham – Michigan
"I'm going to roll with the epic cliché that defensive guys take defensive guys. New Jets coach Aaron Glenn pieced together one of the best defenses in the NFL as Detroit's defensive coordinator, and if the Super Bowl was any indication, you can never have too many very good disruptors on the line. Graham is one of the few players in this draft expected to be an instant impact player on Day 1. Glenn goes with the best player available on his side of the ball, something that the former Jets regime under head coach Robert Saleh didn't do with their first pick when they reached for BYU quarterback Zach Wilson at No. 2 back in 2021."

Mock Trade with Tennessee Titans to move up from No. 7 to No. 1
No. 1: QB Cam Ward – Miami (FL)
"Compared to everyone else, they are in a bad spot to get a quarterback at No. 7 if they don't make a big play. This is the class to do it where you'll have evaluations all over the map. If the Titans aren't in love and are shopping the pick, I would be the first to call if I'm the New York Jets because if Cam Ward hits, you are a championship-caliber football team very, very quickly."
No. 7: T Will Campbell – LSU
"The Jets knocked it out of the park last season with the selection of Olu Fashanu, so here's a running mate for him on the other side of the offensive line. Fashanu and Campbell would give the Jets the offensive line foundation they missed on during the Joe Douglas years."
Mock Trade with New Orleans Saints to move back from No. 7 to No. 9
No. 9: TE Tyler Warren – Penn State
"New York moves down a couple of spots but still ends up with the draft's top tight end. Warren's skills are desperately needed for a team whose tight ends ranked 30th in PFF overall grade and last in PFF run-blocking grade in 2024."
