The best and worst from Joe Douglas’ first year as Jets GM

Jets Wire breaks down Joe Douglas best and worst moves in his first year as Jets general manager.

Good: Draft Day Dealings

Douglas’ first draft class as a general manager received mostly positive reviews. A big reason why is the deals he was able to make throughout the draft.

The Jets traded down 11 picks from No. 48 to No. 59 to land an extra third-round pick while still getting its top target at that point in the draft, Baylor wide receiver Denzel Mims. The move was risky, but you can’t argue with the results. Douglas still got his guy and landed New York an extra pick in the process.

Douglas later turned the third-round pick he acquired from the Seahawks into three additional picks. He capped the day by sending a sixth-round pick to the Colts in exchange for cornerback Quincy Wilson.

Not a bad first draft as a general manager by any stretch.
