Why we’re betting on the Giants to land Travis Hunter at the 2025 NFL Draft
Usually, the first three or four picks of the NFL Draft are pretty easy to script out.
But beyond that, things get dicey, which makes for some fun betting opportunities.
In the case of the New York Jets, who own the No. 7 pick in the 2025 draft, the oddsmakers and most mock-drafters are on the same page.
The bookies and the pundits believe the Jets will draft an offensive lineman for the second straight season.

That lineman is Armand Membou, an offensive tackle out of Missouri.

Mason Graham, a defensive tackle from Michigan, is the only other player with single-digit odds to go seventh overall.

The Jets have plenty of holes to fill, but the most pressing issues for the upcoming draft are to get Justin Fields more protection up front and to find him a weapon at tight end or wide receiver.
But with no wideouts expected to go inside the top 10, the logical choice for Gang Green would be either an offensive lineman or a tight end.
The odds reflect that, as the Jets are -150 to pick an offensive lineman with their first pick and +325 to pick a tight end.

In all likelihood, the Jets will have a decision to make between Membou, Warren and Banks Jr., and the price on the former continues to rise.
Given the issues the Jets have had in the trenches, it would make sense both strategically and optically for Gang Green to go with Membou.
