When general manager Joe Douglas joined the New York Jets back in 2019, he immediately established a goal to build through the trenches.
The Jets’ offensive line was among the worst in the NFL in 2019. Of the nine players who started three games or more, seven are no longer playing in the NFL and the other two are backups.
Since that woeful beginning, Douglas has invested plenty of resources into building the offensive line.
In the draft, Douglas has selected two top 15 picks (Mekhi Becton and Alijah Vera-Tucker), one second-round pick (Joe Tippmann), and three fourth-round picks (Cameron Clark, Max Mitchell, Carter Warren).
