The Jets upgrade at the tight end position
The New York Jets selected LSU tight end Mason Taylor with the #42 pick in the 2025 NFL draft.
The Jets clearly needed a tight end, Prior to this pick the Jets had zero starting caliber tight ends on the roster. It isn’t clear they had a TE2 caliber tight end on the roster. Taylor clearly fills a need. Barring injury or a disastrous training camp, Taylor should be the new Jets starting tight end this season. He has potential to eventually develop into one of the better tight ends in the NFL.
Despite filling a hole, I’m a bit skeptical of the value of this tight end at pick #42. He’s a nice prospect, but I would have preferred a higher value position for the pick when plenty of talent was still on the board.
What about you? Do you approve of this pick?
