The New York Jets made headlines by selecting offensive tackle Armand Membou with the seventh overall pick in the NFL Draft, a decision that raised eyebrows among league executives. While head coach Aaron Glenn deemed the choice a "no-brainer," many analysts expressed concerns about Membou's readiness and high-risk profile as a top-10 pick.

In contrast, the Jets’ second-round choice of tight end Mason Taylor received universal acclaim, with many experts suggesting he could make an immediate impact. Furthermore, discussions arose around the Jets' approach to their third-round selection, as some executives believed that a quarterback like Jalen Milroe might have better suited their roster needs, especially considering their aim to enhance their running threat with Justin Fields.
