The New York Jets have made a key addition to their offensive front in the 2025 NFL Draft, selecting offensive tackle Armand Membou out of Missouri with the No. 7 overall pick. Membou, a physical specimen and one of the most athletic linemen in this year’s class, skyrocketed up draft boards following his standout performance at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis.

Membou entered the draft as a heavy favorite to go inside the top 10, closing at -500 in the final odds. The Jets, looking to reshape their offensive identity under new quarterback Justin Fields, prioritized toughness and versatility on the offensive line—and Membou fits that bill perfectly.

At Missouri, Membou anchored a fast-paced, run-heavy offense and showed off elite conditioning and footwork. His ability to thrive in tempo-based systems and run the RPO (run-pass option) game makes him an ideal fit in New York. With two dynamic running backs in the backfield and a mobile quarterback in Fields, Membou provides critical protection and run-blocking support.
While the pick may not have the splash of a skill-position player, it’s a foundational move. Membou brings much-needed physicality and durability to a unit that struggled with consistency last season. His ability to protect the edge and create running lanes could elevate the Jets’ offensive efficiency in 2025 and beyond.
This is a solid, high-upside selection that reflects New York’s focus on long-term offensive development and protecting their franchise quarterback.
