Former Jets GM outlines the perfect first-round NFL Draft blueprint
Mike Tannenbaum provides the elixir for upgrading the Jets offense and defense, and as an added bonus, he satisfies another glaring issue.
The New York Jets don’t have the luxury of getting this draft wrong. Not this time. Head coach Aaron Glenn's seat seems to be a lot warmer than it was at this same juncture of the 2025 offseason.
His first year? It brought its surprises, and not necessarily in a good way. They lost 14 games.
They traded star defenders Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams. No one panic. That was part of some long-term planning.
At least that's what we're told. Armed with premium draft capital and a roster still searching for long-term stability, every move they make in the first round will carry weight. That’s why, as the NFL Draft approaches, familiar voices have re-entered the conversation, including someone who knows exactly what it’s like to build this franchise from the inside.
