Day Three Offers Chance for Jets to Pluck Pass Catchers

After masterfully navigating the first two rounds of his first draft as an NFL GM, Joe Douglas enters day three with six draft choices. He’ll have three in round 4 (120, 125 and 129), one in round 5 (158th) and two in round six (191st and 211th). With so many choices, Douglas should be keenly focused on the pass catchers left on the board.

Everyone knew coming in to this draft that the wide receiver class was loaded with talent, leading one of Douglas’ former co-workers in Baltimore, Ravens GM Eric Decosta to say that he envisioned teams being able to find starting wide receivers as late as round five.
