100 reasons to believe the 2020 New York Jets are a playoff team

1. Joe Douglas putting his money where it matters

With his very first two selections at the helm (Mekhi Becton and Denzel Mims), Joe Douglas invested 1,560 points worth of draft pick value (according to the draft trade chart) into non-quarterback positions on offense.

Mike Maccagnan used 1,141 points on non-quarterback offensive players with his 34 total picks over five drafts.

The Jets have a general manager who gets it.

2. Joe Douglas’ addition of numerous low-penalty players

Penalties were not a massive issue for the Jets in 2019, but they were certainly a problem.
