Tight end was one of the New York Jets’ primary weaknesses entering the 2025 offseason.
To the surprise of many, first-year general manager Darren Mougey ignored the need in free agency. However, he addressed it in a big way during the NFL draft, selecting LSU’s Mason Taylor in the second round.
Taylor projects as the Jets’ starting tight end on Day 1. His receiving skills are NFL-ready.
The rookie needs some refinement as a blocker, though, which leaves the Jets without a reliable blocking tight end. This is problematic in an offense that projects to be run-heavy.
