Jets Predicted To 'Mix Things Up' With Jeanty Draft Trade
The New York Jets' roster needs for most, are rather clear and they begin on the offensive side of the ball.
Some offensive line help at right tackle and a new weapon for Justin Fields, with the receiver room looking rather depleted if a game were played today.
But the draft is where the Jets can get some new blood into the building, and that is where players like Tyler Warren or Armand Membou have been consistently mocked to the Jets by several outlets.
However, what if the franchise went in a different direction and got Fields an offensive workhorse in the draft? Pro Football Network proposes a trade that sees the Jets jump from No. 7 to No. 5 in a trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars and take Boise State's Ashon Jeanty while parting ways with picks No. 7, No. 53, and Breece Hall.
"The Jets make the move to reset the clock at RB and get a workhorse back under a new administration looking to mix things up," Pro Football Network writes. "The Jets go in a different direction by drafting a guy who ran for 2,601 yards and 29 TDs in 2024, leading Boise State to its first CFP. It’s a big need for a team that finished 31st in the NFL in rush yards per game (91.8) last year."
A stud running back to help carry the offensive workload behind a solid offensive line is a good thought exercise.
What that would do for Fields' passing weapons is unknown, but Jeanty would come into a running back room that has Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis. That is quite the trio.
The Jets might have to look at the free agent market for a receiver or even in the draft's later rounds if this hypothetical trade happened, but in Jeanty, head coach Aaron Glenn just got the face of his offense for the foreseeable future.
