Round 4, Pick 140, Michael Trigg, Tight End, Baylor
With the top defensive tackles off the board by their pick, the Jets take the best player available in Michael Trigg. The Baylor tight end provides NY with some skillset redundancy for Mason Taylor, who showed flashes of star potential in 2025.
Trigg has good speed and size, and he wows with his length (99th percentile wingspan) and hand size (91st percentile). He doesn’t offer much as a blocker, but he’s a high-ceiling project for a team that’s in no rush to win a lot of games.
The 2025 third-team All-American is a surprisingly nuanced route-runner. As a TE that projects more as a big slot than a prototypical Y, his biggest struggle off the bat will be finding enough playing time off the bench. Long-term, he offers much-needed size to the offense, and his development would enable a lethal 12 personnel package of Trigg, Taylor, Garrett Wilson, Germie Bernard, and Breece Hall.
That is, if Hall is still on the team. . .
