NFL Draft: Jets GM Joe Douglas continues to crank up offense on Day 3

Jets general manager Joe Douglas is making sure Zach Wilson and new offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur have what they need to be successful.

The Jets selected quick North Carolina running back Michael Carter in the fourth round with the No. 107 pick. Douglas used the Jets’ first four picks in the draft on offensive players. He took Wilson second overall, USC guard Alijah Vera-Tucker with the 14th pick and Ole Miss receiver Elijah Moore 34th.

It’s the first time since 1983 that the Jets took four players on offense with their first four picks. That year, they drafted quarterback Ken O'Brien, running back Johnny Hector, wide receiver Jo-Jo Townsell and tight end Wes Howell.
