Jets made a safe pick in Armand Membou — and it could come with buyer’s remorse

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 year’s 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.

“It was like a perfect storm on that guy being a Jet,’’ first-year head coach Aaron Glenn said of Membou falling to No. 7. “He’s mean, he’s nasty, he’s tough. He really fits what we’re trying to do, so it was a no-brainer. Once the pick was there for us, man, it was like, ‘This is the guy.’ ’’
