A glance again at one of the best and worst strikes by Jets common supervisor Joe Douglas, who was fired Tuesday:
Highs
Trades of Jamal Adams and Sam Darnold
Douglas’ wheeling and dealing of the 2 former first-round picks ended up delivering a haul that ended up being extra impactful than anybody had envisioned.
The picks the Jets ended up receiving in every deal offered Douglas with ample provide to proceed to maneuver within the 2021 and 2022 drafts.
2022 NFL Draft
The 2022 draft proved to be Douglas’ better of his six-year tenure with the Jets.
He took cornerback Sauce Gardner fourth total; added receiver Garrett Wilson with the tenth total decide, which the Jets obtained within the Adams commerce with Seattle; and took working again Breece Corridor with the No. 36 decide, obtained from the Giants, thanks partially to the second-round decide from the Panthers within the Darnold commerce.
Signing of DJ Reed
The nook has been a vivid spot for the Jets this season after Douglas signed him to a three-year, $33 million deal in 2022.
Going into Sunday’s recreation in opposition to the Colts, Reed had allowed fewer than 30 yards in six video games, except for conferences with the Payments and Houston, and recorded his first sack since 2018.
Lows
Zach Wilson
The BYU product is among the greatest stains on Douglas’ Jets tenure.
The No. 2 total decide in 2021 had three tumultuous seasons in New York, was benched three separate instances, and gathered a 12-21 document.
Large misses
For pretty much as good as Douglas’ drafting was in 2022, he missed on quite a few excessive picks in different years, together with Mekhi Becton (first spherical, 2020), Denzel Mims (second spherical, 2020) and Elijah Moore (second spherical, 2021).
Becton was suffering from accidents throughout his Jets tenure and Mims and Moore each requested trades throughout their time in New York.
Failing to have a high quality backup for Aaron Rodgers
Douglas and the Jets went all-in on Rodgers in 2023, however a season-ending damage 4 performs into the primary recreation of the season put Wilson again within the starter position.
What transpired was a debacle that led to Gang Inexperienced turning to Tim Boyle and Trevor Siemian below heart with no different choices after it turned clear Wilson wasn’t going to chop it.
