As things stand currently, the New York Jets are in line to have a top-10 overall pick coming up in the 2025 Draft.
Who they end up selecting with that top-10 pick is up for debate – especially with the College Football Playoff a few weeks away from kicking off the first round of action.
One of the top names in the upcoming draft, though, has officially declared to be a part of the 2025 class, and he’s a player not in the CFP, but still a player of interest for New York.
Most draft analysts pick Michigan defensive tackle Mason Graham as one of the best interior defensive players in this upcoming class – if not the best overall.
He made his official announcement today that he will be forgoing his senior season and heading to the draft.
“Yes Mason has declared and will sit out of the bowl game,” agent Ryan Matha said in a text message to the Detroit Free Press. “Mason is one of the truly elite prospects available in this year’s draft.”
Where Graham ends up will be up for debate, but the Jets are expected to be a team with a clear need along the interior of their line. While Quinnen Williams continues to play at an All-Pro caliber level, New York has failed to find a strong partner with him on the field each year.
Instead of throwing money at free agents to solve that issue, Graham could very well be the perfect fit for New York’s defense.
At the very least he’s one of multiple options for the Jets.
