Here’s what the experts have the Jets doing.

The Jets could go so many different directions here. Offensive line, sure. They need a right tackle. They could also go receiver if they let Davante Adams and Allen Lazard go (Luther Burden, Emeka Egbuka). They, too, could look at a quarterback and have him sit and develop behind Tyrod Taylor for a season.

Tetairoa McMillan is 6-foot-5, but he moves like a shifty slot receiver with the benefit of an enormous catch radius and the ability to make contested catches look easy. Think Drake London but a better athlete.

Even if Aaron Rodgers isn’t back (and assuming Davante Adams won’t be), the Jets will most likely roll with a veteran in 2025 and continue to build the roster for a young quarterback down the road. McMillan’s size, contested-catch ability and red zone presence is the perfect complement across from Garrett Wilson.

Abdul Carter, Penn State EDGE

Haason Reddick has his issues, so the Jets may decide to add another edge rusher to further enhance the defense.

Abdul Carter has been described as a missile as a pass rusher.
