Joe Douglas prefers to build through the draft.
Luckily for the New York Jets general manager, he owns a whopping 10 selections in this year’s edition of the event, including two in the opening round.
But what’s interesting (and quite frankly very beneficial) is how the Jets possess a great deal of capital in the later rounds. On Day 3 (rounds 4-7), the organization has a total of five picks, which can be used for depth purposes in regard to a number of positions.
These positions of need may include wide receiver, defensive back, offensive tackle, inside linebacker, as well as a quarterback to compete for a backup role behind whomever the Jets choose to be their starter.
