FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- During the run-up to the NFL draft, New York Jets general manager Joe Douglas said the objective was to "surround our next quarterback with as much talent as possible."
He wasn't messing around.
After selecting BYU quarterback Zach Wilson with the second overall pick, the Jets added three more offensive players. The latest pick, North Carolina running back Michael Carter, came Saturday in the fourth round.
This is only the third time in the common draft era (since 1967) that the Jets have opened a draft with four consecutive selections on offense.
