FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The 2025 NFL draft(8 p.m. ET on ESPN, ABC, ESPN App) begins April 24 and will be held in Green Bay, Wisc. TheNew York Jetsare scheduled to makeeightof the draft's 257picks, beginning with theNo. 7 selection of the first round on Thursday night.
Top three needs:OT, WR, TE. The Jets lost starters at RT (Morgan Moses), WR (Davante Adams) and TE (Tyler Conklin) and replaced them with bargain free agents -- Chukwuma Okorafor, Josh Reynolds and Stone Smartt, respectively. If they don't add a legitimate receiving threat, either a wideout or a tight end, star WR Garrett Wilson will face an inordinate amount of extra coverage.
The Jets also will look for a long-term answer at quarterback. Justin Fields buys them some time, but they won't hesitate to add a Day 2 or Day 3 prospect if they feel he can develop into a productive starter. -- Rich Cimini
