Joe Douglas inspired hope (and killed excuses) in NY Jets’ 2022 draft

It says a lot about the modern New York Jets that their greatest win comes without a single snap played, even one of the training camp or preseason variety.

The NFL draft’s metamorphosis from a quiet spring weekend into a 24/7, 365-day behemoth has made the ludicrous notion of instantly attaching grades to college kids nabbed by NFL teams a mainstream phenomenon. If it’s going to be part of the culture the football-loving public has established, Jets fans might as well bask in the spotlight.
