"The New England Patriots won the AFC East in 2025 for the first time since 2019. They finished with a 5-1 division record, and blowing a 24-7 halftime lead to the Bills, while missing Milton Williams and Robert Spillane, was their only blemish. The average winning margin in their five wins was 16.2 points, with a pair of especially impressive wins, by 32 and 28 over the Jets and Dolphins, carrying the bulk of that average."
"Just about everything on the Jets' roster needs upgrading except their offensive tackles. They hold a pair of first-round picks, their own at No. 2 overall and No. 16, acquired from the Indianapolis Colts in the midseason Sauce Gardner trade. The Jets also set an unbreakable NFL record this year: they became the first team to fail to record a single interception in a season. In total, the Jets' defense forced only four turnovers, all of which were fumble recoveries."
"If the Jets are looking to select a cornerback, they shouldn't look much further than Mansoor Delane. The LSU star is projected to be a top-10 pick and will likely be the first cornerback selected in the 2026 NFL Draft. The Jets' defense, as bad as they were last season, is fixable. Defensive tackle Jowon Briggs is a rising star, while Jermaine Johnson and Will McDonald are very sound edge defenders. Jamien Sherwood is a solid MIKE linebacker."
The New England Patriots won the AFC East in 2025, their first division title since 2019, finishing 5-1 in division play. Their only blemish was blowing a 24-7 halftime lead to the Bills while missing Milton Williams and Robert Spillane. The Patriots averaged a 16.2-point margin in their five wins, highlighted by 32- and 28-point victories over the Jets and Dolphins. The New York Jets need upgrades across the roster except at offensive tackle and hold two first-round picks, No. 2 and No. 16. The Jets became the first team to record zero interceptions in a season. LSU cornerback Mansoor Delane projects as a top-10 pick and a strong fit for the Jets' defensive backfield.
