This season for the Jets is about the future, present be damned. General manager Mike Maccagnan wants to see the guys he drafted the last three years play.
He wants to know if they should have a spot on this team in the future. Will they be footnotes in this full-on rebuild? Or players who help turn this thing around?
This past April, Maccagnan drafted seven players he hopes will be cornerstones for years to come, led, of course, by Jamal Adams. How'd the safety look in Sunday's season-opening loss to the Bills? What about the others drafted by the Jets in rounds 2-7?
