General Manager Joe Douglas will be overseeing his second draft for the Jets. Last year's draft was novel because it was conducted virtually, with Commissioner Roger Goodell serving as the MC from his basement. Last year, scouts operated as they had in the past -- Senior Bowl, NFL Combine, pro days on college campuses -- until the pandemic shut down all of it.
Now with a new head coach in Robert Saleh and his new staff in Florham Park, N.J., the challenge is to do the job. And while circumstances may have changed, one of the constants is Douglas' vision of the type of players he wants for the Jets.
"The most important thing is the vision Joe D has for us," said Jon Carr, the Jets' director, college scouting. "The type of players we're looking for are tough, athletic, love the game and are able to impose their will each week. They're smart, willing and want to win."
