Top draft prospects for NY Jets fans to watch at the 2025 combine

By Ian Roddy — 2/27/2025

We reach another huge benchmark in the NFL draft process this week as the 2025 Scouting Combine kicks off in Indianapolis. For the next few days, 300 of the nation’s top prospects will look to run, jump and talk their way up teams’ big boards.

With eight draft picks total and needs up and down the roster, the New York Jets will have their work cut out for them in Indy as they begin to hone in on their favorite guys, not only at the very top of the class, but across the ensuing six rounds as well.

Without further ado, here are some of the names Aaron Glenn, Darren Mougey and co. figure to have their eyes on this week as they work to narrow down their big board.

First Rounders

Given the lack of true blue-chip names in this year’s draft class, picking in the top 10 becomes all the more valuable. Whether the Jets opt to stay put at No. 7 or swing a trade, it’s especially imperative that they hit on their first pick of the new era – we saw the butterfly effect of Joe Douglas’ decision to kick off his tenure with Mekhi Becton.

Mason Graham, DL, Michigan

One of the best players in the entire class, the idea of landing Mason Graham at seven may feel like wishful thinking at this point. After all, his college film alone puts him in the same air as guys like Quinnen Williams and Jalen Carter as prospects.

But the thing is, as great as he is on tape, if there’s one thing Graham doesn’t have, it’s high-end measurables to compliment his dominant production. With his arm length almost sure to come in well below the 50th percentile mark, and his overall frame being a bit underwhelming when standing next to others in this class, there does exist a world where his stock tumbles coming out of Indy – maybe even enough for the Jets to be able to grab him.
