NY Jets film review: Will Stone Smartt make the roster?

1 week ago | jetsxfactor.com | Joe Blewett

The New York Jets’ tight end room is wide open. The presumptive starter is a second-round rookie, Mason Taylor. One of the top candidates to win the TE2 role is a fourth-year player who has yet to score an NFL touchdown, Jeremy Ruckert. Even a fullback could end up being the Jets’ quasi-TE2. That leaves a golden opportunity for a 26-year-old player who was starting at quarterback as recently as his third college season: Stone Smartt.
The New York Jets' Real TE2 Probably Isn't Who You Think

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.

Following in the footsteps of his mentor, Bill Parcells, Aaron Glenn has preached “competition” since being named HC of the NYJ. At many positions on the New York Jets’ roster, a competition would be unsurprising. The WR2 spot is wide open, featuring a mix of veteran competitors such as Josh Reynolds and rookies like Arian Smith. The Jets also have openings at TE2 and DT2. But one possible competition has many Jets fans surprised: center.
NY Jets film review: Is Josh Reynolds the WR2 behind Wilson?

3 weeks ago | jetsxfactor.com | Joe Blewett

Who is the WR2? It’s the question every New York Jets fan is asking about the offense going into 2025. Garrett Wilson will lead his position group once again, but the depth chart behind him is thin. The Jets, though, will probably look for other sources of production in their passing game. Running back Breece Hall and tight end Mason Taylor could each get more targets than whoever ends up as the Jets’ No. 2 wide receiver. Still, the Jets’ WR2 will play a key role in the offense.
Is Byron Cowart the New York Jets' starting DT next to Big Q?

He’s established himself as one of the New York Jets’ best players, and he has done it without much help around him. Quinnen Williams is undoubtedly a star defensive tackle, coming off his third consecutive Pro Bowl appearance. One cannot help but wonder, though, how much more impactful he could be with a better supporting cast. Since breaking out with 12 sacks in 2022, Williams has recorded 11.5 sacks over the last two seasons combined.
Are Jets Fans Correct That Tyler Baron Could Fill This Gaping Hole?

The “JFM role.”It is something New York Jets fans have longed for the team to address since Joe Douglas’ bizarre decision to trade John Franklin-Myers ahead of the 2024 season. Franklin-Myers made a name for himself in New York’s defense as a versatile weapon on the defensive line. At 6-foot-4 and 288 pounds with plus athleticism, Franklin-Myers had enough quickness to cause havoc as an interior pass rusher and enough size to set the edge effectively.
NY Jets Film Review: Speedy LB Francisco Mauigoa has potential

Potential. It’s a common denominator between the New York Jets’ offseason additions under Darren Mougey. Whether it was signing Justin Fields to a $40 million deal or drafting Francisco Mauigoa in the fifth round, New York’s first-year general manager has prioritized adding players with upside. That label applies to the rookie linebacker from Miami, who registered a fantastic RAS (Relative Athletic Score) of 9.17.
Malachi Moore Film Review: Better fit at SS or FS for Jets?

1 month ago | jetsxfactor.com | Joe Blewett

Entering the 2025 NFL draft, safety was one of the New York Jets’ top needs. While the Jets waited until the fourth round to address it, that player still has a chance to start for New York in Week 1 of his rookie season. Alabama product Malachi Moore enters a Jets safety room that should feature intense competition in the summer.
Arian Smith Film Review: Is criticism overdramatized or justified?

1 month ago | jetsxfactor.com | Joe Blewett

It’s not often that a fourth-round pick is the most controversial player of an NFL team’s draft class, but that is the case with Arian Smith and the New York Jets. First-year Jets general manager Darren Mougey took the Georgia product with the 110th overall pick. While it is a relatively low-risk investment, the selection has drawn criticism from fans and media members. It has a lot to do with Smith’s pre-draft rankings.
How on Earth did NYJ get him R3?

Cornerback was poised to be an offseason need for the New York Jets with D.J. Reed expected to leave in free agency. As a result, January and February mock drafts often had the Jets selecting a cornerback as early as the first round. Then, the Jets filled a starting cornerback spot with the surprising signing of Brandon Stephens in free agency. Fans removed the position from New York’s radar in the first few rounds of the draft.
