Joe Douglas’ Jets complex legacy filled with highs and low lows
NY Post
A look back at the best and worst moves by Jets general manager Joe Douglas, who was fired Tuesday:
Douglas’ wheeling and dealing of the two former first-round picks ended up delivering a haul that ended up being more impactful than anyone had envisioned.
The picks the Jets ended up receiving in each deal provided Douglas with ample supply to continue to maneuver in the 2021 and 2022 drafts.
The 2022 draft proved to be Douglas’ best of his six-year tenure with the Jets.
He took cornerback Sauce Gardner fourth overall; added receiver Garrett Wilson with the 10th overall pick, which the Jets received in the Adams trade with Seattle; and took running back Breece Hall with the No. 36 pick, received from the Giants, thanks in part to the second-round pick from the Panthers in the Darnold trade.
The corner has been a bright spot for the Jets this season after Douglas signed him to a three-year, $33 million deal in 2022.
