The New York Jets have a lot of talent with the franchise right now despite winning just five games last season.

New York has building block pieces like Breece Hall, Garrett Wilson, Jamien Sherwood, and Sauce Gardner along with a few others. Plus New York has obviously been busy so far this offseason adding more young pieces like Justin Fields.

We're now in NFL Draft week and are just two days away from the team adding another big piece with the No. 7 pick. Who will the Jets add? There are going to be plenty of options at their disposal and NFL.com's Daniel Jeremiah believes Missouri offensive tackle could be a "finishing piece" for the offensive line.

"They could kind of put the finishing piece on the offensive line with someone like (Armand) Membou, who he’d be comfortable just plugging right in at right tackle," Jeremiah said as transcribed by the New York Daily News' Antwan Staley. "All of a sudden, now what was an endless journey to fix the offensive line, you could almost say is pretty complete with him. To me, as a player, just simply how you grade him, I would have both those tight ends over him.

New York is no stranger to Membou speculation. That has been the case all offseason to this point and it will finally end on Thursday with the Jets either bringing him to town or going in a different direction.
