New York Jets general manager Joe Douglas has been treated as one of the best scouts in the NFL since the hire. The media point to his reputation around the league and his work with Ozzie Newsome as proof.
They also point to his draft success like Marshal Yanda with the Baltimore Ravens. The issue with that example is that he was just a scout with the Ravens; he didn’t run the draft.
Most of the time, they completely ignore his draft work as an executive. Sure, they point to his role in the Philadelphia Eagles winning the Super Bowl in 2018, but not much else.
