The New York Jets donât 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.
Thatâs why, as the NFL Draft approaches, familiar voices have re-entered the conversation, including someone who knows exactly what itâs like to build this franchise from the inside.
Mike Tannenbaum has been here before. He has some ideas that will improve the roster, including one that doesn't fit the familiar narratives.
Jets fans remember his rise through the organization, from director of player contracts in the late 1990s to general manager and senior vice president of football operations. His tenure included big swings, bold decisions, and a front-row seat to the challenges of constructing a contender in New York.
Even after his time with the hated Miami Dolphins and his transition to media at ESPN, that instinct hasnât faded. So, naturally, he has a plan. For the most part, it aligns with what many expect, but there's a twist. He has an aggressive idea that lands a prospect at the game's most important position.
Start with the obvious. At No. 2 overall, Tannenbaum believes the Jets should address edge rusher. That tracks. Itâs a premium position, a foundational piece, and one that can immediately impact the defense.
The Jets must navigate significant pressure to make the right choices, especially with head coach Aaron Glenn's job on the line after a poor season.
The Jets traded star defenders Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams as part of their long-term planning strategy.
The Jets had a disappointing season, losing 14 games, which has increased scrutiny on their draft decisions.
The Jets have premium draft capital, making their first-round selections critical for establishing long-term stability in the team.

For a team looking to establish toughness and consistency, itâs a logical beginning. NFL Draft wiz Daniel Jeremiah suggests the team's top two options at the second overall selection are David Bailey and Arvell Reese. Stay tuned. We'll see what happens.
Next, Tannenbaum shifts to offense. At No. 16, the recommendation is to add a wide receiver, giving the Jets another playmaker to pair with Garrett Wilson. That move would provide balance, explosiveness, and much-needed support for the passing game. So far, nothing shocking has been said, right?.
Then comes the twist. Tannenbaum suggests the Jets shouldnât stop there. Instead, they should find a way to trade back into the first round and take a quarterback, a potential franchise signal-caller who can develop behind the current starter without the pressure of being thrown into the fire immediately.
Itâs aggressive. Itâs layered. And most importantly, itâs intentional. This approach doesnât just address needs. It builds a structure. The defense gets stronger. The offense gets help, but none of that matters if there is no long-term answer in terms of a franchise quarterback. No disrespect is intended to Geno Smith.
The future at quarterback is finally given real attention. If the Jets can pull something like this off, they wonât just be adding talent. Theyâll be attacking the draft with purpose, something this franchise has been searching for far too long. Give him credit. The former GM might be cooking here.
