Jamal Adams finally got what he wanted because the Seahawks gave Joe Douglas what he wanted. Adams successfully whined his way to a new team, but now Douglas can avoid having to pay the safety a big-money, long-term contract right as the salary cap is going to take a huge nose-dive. And he got two…
The benefit of a new GM doing his first draft for a team with holes throughout the roster is that GM can stick to the best player available strategy and still fill needs. Joe Douglas may have strayed from the BPA strategy (I certainty haven’t seen his big board), but he certainly filled some needs….
Joe Douglas wisely used his first two picks on offensive players that can help Sam Darnold. One can argue he probably should have continued that theme even more, but Douglas decided to use the third round to bolster the defense. With their first third-round pick the Jets took free safety Ashtyn Davis from the University…
As the clock started on the Jets pick at 48, fans, and even some writers like the one that typed these words that you’re currently reading, were clamoring for Joe Douglas to draft Baylor receiver, Denzel Mims. Instead Douglas traded down 11 spots, picking up an extra third-round compensatory pick from the Seahawks then patiently…
After all the talking and waiting, the New York Jets stayed put and took an absolute giant of a man with freakish athletic ability. They desperately needed to add an offensive tackle to anchor the offensive line and that’s exactly what they did by selecting Mekhi Becton from Louisville. At 6’7″, 363 lbs. with 35…
Covering a first-time GM is always tricky, there’s a lot of guesswork and assumption making. ‘Well, the team has these holes so let’s connect all the available free agents at those positions to them.’ Or, ‘well this team is really bad so they’re going to need to spend money.’ But it’s not until said GM…
East Rutherford, NJ – For most of the day the Jets seemed to be in complete control of the game. Then everything flipped. Every Jets fan watching could feel the Dolphins were about to find a way to steal the win. The Dolphins failed to score a single touchdown, but seven field goals was almost…
Cincinnati, OH – The Jets three game winning streak came to a crash landing in an embarrassing effort against the previously winless Cincinnati Bengals. The Jets were simply outclassed in every faze of the game, but once again it was the penalties that buried them. The offensive line got manhandled all day. Sam Darnold couldn’t…
East Rutherford, NJ – Jamal Adams said the team felt disrespected by the amount of Raiders fans booing the Jets in their own stadium. So, they decided to show the Raiders, and their fans, the same level of disrespect right back. The Raiders jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead, but that one, lonely, field…
The New York Jets got their third win of the season, and second straight win, yesterday over Washington. A two game winning-streak is great, but the Jets are going to need to beat a team outside of the NFC East before expecting fans to be impressed. Regardless of the competition, wins are wins and this…
