Entering the 2020 NFL Draft, NY Jets general manager Joe Douglas needed to find talent and players ready to make an early impact. With a team far from playoff contention and in need of contributors, he set out to find exactly that.

The Jets walked away with one of their better draft classes in years.

Mekhi Becton is going to lock down the left side for the next decade. Denzel Mims looks like he can be a starter at wide receiver in 2021. Many others, including La’Mical Perine, Bryce Hall, and Braden Mann all graded out very well in their rookie seasons too.
