Jets General Manager Joe Douglas is expected to make the dream of getting Aaron Rodgers in Green and White a reality in the coming days. If we are to believe much of the speculation surrounding the impending deal, Douglas will start Thursday night’s NFL draft in a very unfamiliar situation. Instead of having a bevy of picks to work with as he has in year’s past, Douglas could be armed with as few as five draft choices.
As it stands, the Jets currently own six picks (13, 42, 43, 112, 143 and 207). Should pick 42 or 43 get shipped off to the Packers, Douglas will have his work cut out for him with only the five remaining choices.
