NY Jets: ‘Trader Joe’ Douglas gets the job done on draft day

Facing his first draft as general manager of the NY Jets, it was no secret that Joe Douglas had his work cut out for him.

Coming off their fourth straight losing season, the Jets’ depth chart was riddled with issues. Douglas was able to use free agency to address some team needs, but the Jets had far too many roster holes to simply throw money at every one of them.

They desperately needed to have a great draft.

Post-draft grades assigned immediately after the draft are more or less pointless.
