Jets Load Up With Offensive ‘Monster’ In Latest Mock Draft
The New York Jets offense could look vastly different in 2025 with Aaron Rodgers already gone, and Davante Adams and Allen Lazard might follow out the door. That will leave offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand with a few precious genuine options outside of Garrett Wilson. Now, that could change in free agency and the draft, but the Jets need an injection of something. At tight end, Tyler Conklin didn’t move the needle last season, and in Daniel Jeremiah’s latest mock draft for NFL.com, he has Penn State stud tight end Tyler Warren linking up in the Big Apple. “The Jets ranked second to last in rushing offense last season, and they desperately need another target in the passing game,” Jeremiah writes. “Warren helps them improve in both of those areas.” A monster in the passing game, Warren totaled 1,233 yards and eight touchdowns from 104 receptions to be the No. 1 tight end in college football. Now he brings that level of production to the Jets and an offense that, if things go the way many think, will desperately need it.
We saw what Brock Bowers was able to do in Year 1 with the Las Vegas Raiders, and while that is a very high bar for Warren to reach, at least he has something to aim for. A tight end with a big catch radius and genuine YAC (yards after the catch) ability the Jets could get Warren involved with quick passes and then let him loose in the open field. New York has a host of roster holes to address this offseason, but if Warren is available at pick No. 7, the franchise would be wise to select him.
As NFL Draft season enters full swing, it is peak mock draft time. There are few fixtures more synonymous this time of year than ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr.
Kiper has been piecing together mock drafts for a number of weeks, and he’s seen a shift in how teams are valuing the quarterback battle in the upcoming draft class. While once viewed as potentially the top quarterback in the draft, Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders now appears to be a clear QB2 in this draft, behind Miami’s Cam Ward.
