Jets made a safe pick in Armand Membou — and it could come with buyer's remorse

Expressing a definitive opinion on this matter is challenging due to the Jets’ wise choice of drafting right tackle Armand Membou as the seventh overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft on Thursday. However, there is a lingering question about whether they missed out on a standout player.

The 21-year-old Membou, who started 29 games across three seasons at Missouri, figures to be an immediate plug-and-play starter at right tackle opposite left tackle Olu Fashanu, last year’s first-round pick.

That gives the Jets coveted bookend tackles and gives their starting line three first-round picks and one second-rounder among their starting five.

“It was like a perfect storm on that guy being a Jet,’’ first-year head coach Aaron Glenn said of Membou falling to No. 7. “He’s mean, he’s nasty, he’s tough. He really fits what we’re trying to do, so it was a no-brainer. Once the pick was there for us, man, it was like, ‘This is the guy.’ ’’
