With the NFL Draft approaching, we are taking a look back at Joe Douglas’ first three drafts as Jets general manager.

This week, we take a look at the 2021 draft.

This was one of the most anticipated drafts in recent memory for the Jets. They had two first-round picks after the Jamal Adams trade the summer before, and held the No. 2 overall pick after going 2-14 in 2020.

Adam Gase had been fired and Robert Saleh hired as the new head coach, giving Douglas a new partner.
