Robert Saleh and Joe Douglas have a clear philosophy regarding the draft for the NY Jets: Invest in the trenches. Even if Will McDonald IV on paper is a depth player and on the field is a situational rusher in obvious passing situations, he can be a major contributor on this attacking defensive front out of the gate. When you imagine the 3×1 “isolated” front the Jets deployed in the 2022 season, running stunts to the loaded side with a 1-on-1 on the other, McDonald could be the key that unlocks this defense on 2nd or 3rd and long.
