The New York Jets are starting over. The Robert Saleh and Joe Douglas eras ending during last season, and this offseason the team hired former Detroit Lions defensive coordinator — and Jets defensive back — Aaron Glenn as their head coach and former Denver Broncos assistant general manager Darren Mougey as their new GM.
That new braintrust has a lot of work to do when it comes to building out the current roster. The Jets have needs up and down the board. You don’t go 5-12 by accident. Luckily, they have a couple of premium picks available to add high-end talent, and they have eight draft picks overall. That gives them plenty of opportunities to fill some of the holes remaining on the team.
As for what direction they’ll ultimately go, well, that’s why we’re here. Throughout this week, we’re conducting seven-round mock drafts for notable teams around the league, and the Jets are one of those teams. In this case, we’re going to run through a full seven-round mock draft using Pro Football Focus’ mock draft simulator.
There are a lot of different areas of the roster that we need to hit, so it’s going to be quite an interesting exercise. Without further ado…
- Round 1: Pick 7
- Round 2: Pick 42
- Round 3: Pick 73
- Round 4: Pick 110
- Round 5: Pick 145
- Round 5: Pick 162
- Round 6: Pick 186
- Round 6: Pick 207
