This is a complicated column in which to deliver an inarguable opinion, because the Jets made a sound decision when they selected right tackle Armand Membou with the seventh overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft Thursday night ⦠yet you wonder if they left something special on the table.
The 21-year-old Membou, who started 29 games across three seasons at Missouri, figures to be an immediate plug-and-play starter at right tackle opposite left tackle Olu Fashanu, last yearâÂÂs first-round pick.
That gives the Jets coveted bookend tackles and gives their starting line three first-round picks and one second-rounder among their starting five.
âÂÂIt was like a perfect storm on that guy being a Jet,âÂÂâ first-year head coach Aaron Glenn said of Membou falling to No. 7. âÂÂHeâÂÂs mean, heâÂÂs nasty, heâÂÂs tough. He really fits what weâÂÂre trying to do, so it was a no-brainer. Once the pick was there for us, man, it was like, âÂÂThis is the guy.â âÂÂâÂÂ
