general manager Mike Maccagnan gave a bland, non-committed answer to a question that instantly perked my ears. At his pre-draft press conference Monday, he was asked if he had to change the initial five-year plan he had for the Jets. Essentially his step-by-step guideline to make this team a contender.
Short answer, absent Maccagnan's favorite cliches: No.
But it got me thinking: What exactly is Maccagnan's plan? Are these Jets any better off now, compared to when he took over after the 2014 season? What actual progress has he made, if any?
It seems like a pretty common and accepted assessment of the current Jets: They're not very good.
