The New York Jets’ roster deficiencies are quite evident and primarily lie on the offensive side of the field.
A few additions could bolster the right tackle position, and acquiring another option would be beneficial for Justin Fields, particularly since the receiving corps appear quite thin should a game occur presently.
However, the draft is when the Jets have the opportunity to bring fresh talent into the organization, and that’s where players such as
Tyler Warren
Armand Membou has been frequently ridiculed by multiple outlets for his association with the Jets.
But imagine if the franchise chose a different path and drafted Fields as their primary ball-carrier. Pro Football Network suggests a trade where the Jets move up from the seventh pick to fifth by trading with the Jacksonville Jaguars, selecting Boise State’s Ashon Jeanty instead. In this scenario, they would let go of picks number seven, fifty-three, and Breece Hall.
The Jets opt to refresh their running back position and acquire a primary ball carrier as they welcome a new leadership aiming to shake things up.

The Jets opt for a new strategy by selecting a player who rushed for an impressive 2,601 yards and scored 29 touchdowns in 2024, guiding Boise State to their inaugural College Football Playoff appearance. This pick addresses a significant weakness for the team, which ranked 31st in the NFL in rushing yards per game (91.8) last season.
A study examining a running back supporting the offensive load behind a strong offensive line makes for a compelling hypothetical scenario.
What that would do for Fields’ passing weapons is unknown, but Jeanty would come into a running back room that has Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis. That is quite the trio.
The Jets might have to look at the free agent market for a receiver or even in the draft’s later rounds if this hypothetical trade happened, but in Jeanty, head coach Aaron Glenn just got the face of his offense for the foreseeable future.
