NEW YORK (AP) — Joe Douglas and the New York Jets entered the NFL draft looking for protectors, playmakers and leaders.
Check. Check. And, check.
The Jets filled several needs over three days, taking nine players they envision being part of the franchise’s foundation.
“I feel like we added a lot of quality football players, quality people,” Douglas said. “We’re better after this weekend than we were before the draft started.”
New York kicked off its haul by taking massive offensive tackle Mekhi Becton from Louisville with the No. 11 overall selection, and added Charlotte offensive tackle Cameron Clark in the fourth round.
