Joe Douglas’ first draft class looks like a bust through its first 29 games.
The nine players Douglas picked in 2020 haven’t lived up to expectations. Some of that has been because of injuries, but even the healthy players haven’t performed well. Cornerback Bryce Hall is the only one who looks like a solid player, but one starter — drafted in the fifth round — isn’t enough to save a whole draft class.
Douglas made these picks when Adam Gase was still the coach and Sam Darnold was still the quarterback, but most of the selections weren’t good as rookies in the systems they were drafted to play in, either. Douglas’ second draft class looks strong through 13 games, but the Jets need all of their young players to perform.
That hasn’t happened for most of the 2020 picks. Here’s how all nine have fared so far in their Jets careers.
