Jets Trade Rumors Put Breece Hall on ‘Winners and Losers’ List for Draft

The New York Jets made seven selections in the 2025 NFL Draft, addressing multiple key positions of need. It was the first draft for new general manager Darren Mougey and head coach Aaron Glenn, who have begun to build the culture they hope to embody.

As a result of the new additions, some players will immensely benefit, while others may find their situations altered for the worst.

And one - assuming he's not being traded - may get new life here.

The Winners

Justin Fields

Fields by far comes away the best off out of this class. First and foremost, no quarterbacks were selected, meaning his starting spot going forward is likely unchallenged. The Jets started off the draft by selecting superhuman offensive tackle Armand Membou, solidifying a Jets' offensive line that looks to be one of the NFL's most talented. One of the biggest areas of concern for the Jets this offseason was the tight end position, and the Jets selected Mason Taylor in the second round, a 1,000 yard receiver at LSU. Taylor will be Fields' safety valve, and the two should have no problem connecting for 50+ completions this season.

Breece Hall

Leading up to the draft, there were rumors suggesting the Jets could land Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty. The Jets didn't select a single back in the draft, meaning Hall will likely stay put unless he asks out. The Jets also solidified a top-tier line, and Membou is a fantastic run blocker on the outside, which should open up some more concepts for Hall in a hopefully more advanced scheme than he's used to.

The trade rumors aren't going away. But Hall, should he remain a Jet, can win big here.

The Losers

Malachi Corley

With the selection of Arian Smith, the new Jets' regime has a young receiver that is their own. Corley struggled to earn playing time last season and had an infamous blunder, dropping the ball just shy of the end zone. Corley is going to have to prove himself in camp this year with competition that was hand selected by Mougey and Glenn.

Jeremy Ruckert

As previously mentioned, tight end was a huge question mark for the Jets. If the Jets didn't address the position in the draft, Ruckert would have been the prime contender for the top spot on the depth chart, as unlikely as that would have been. With the addition of Taylor, Ruckert's outlook is at-best TE2, but he'll have to beat out Stone Smartt for the position, and the Jets could still look to add another tight end in free agency.

Tony Adams

Andre Cisco seems to be the only safety who has a locked down starting spot. With the selection of Malachi Moore, Tony Adams has a real competitor to challenge him for the other safety position. Adams has been incredibly inconsistent in his Jets' career, and Moore could be a Week 1 starter if Adams fails to perform in camp and the preseason.
