Another Mike Maccagnan draft pick was shown the door Saturday by new Jets general manager Joe Douglas.

The team waived cornerback Derrick Jones, who was a 2017 sixth-round pick. That leaves just three players remaining on the roster from that nine-man draft class. Jamal Adams, Marcus Maye and Elijah McGuire remain with the team.

The Jets signed tight end Nick Truesdell, who had been with them earlier in training camp, to take the roster spot.

Jones was fighting to be the Jets’ second-team cornerback, but had been slowed by a knee injury this spring. He was passed on the depth chart by rookie Kyron Brown recently and then gave up a long completion against the Giants.

The Jets continue to search for depth at cornerback, where they are woefully thin.
