The New York Jets‘ 2021 draft class showed oodles of potential in its rookie season. General manager Joe Douglas‘ 10-player class combined to generate a total of 30 AV (Approximate Value), which ranked third-best out of all NFL rookie classes in 2021.
Of course, one season does not make a draft class. These groups are not to be fully judged until they log four or five years in the league. We can’t declare a class as good or bad after one year.
If the 2021 Jets draft class is to build upon its rookie-year promise and establish itself as one of the best classes from that draft, it will need its players to develop greatly in 2022.
