The NFL Draft is in two weeks, and it will provide Jets general manager Joe Douglas another crack at building the foundation of his team.

This will be Douglas’ fourth draft as the Jets’ GM. His first two drafts do not look good at the moment. His third draft could go down as one of the best in the team’s history. It’s been a mixed bag.

For the next three newsletters, we’ll take a look at each of Douglas’ drafts.

In considering the choices, you need to know my outlook on how I judge a pick. First-round and second-round picks should be immediate starters or major contributors. Third-round picks should at least play special teams as rookies and become starters by Year 2 or 3. The fourth round and later is a total crapshoot.
