Act of Secrecy
Whenever Joe Douglas is spotted talking to anyone, there is a ripple of excitement around the fans who want the Jets to draft that prospect. I get it, but just because Joe Douglas spent some time talking to Trevor Penning and Zion Johnson doesn’t mean the Jets are targeting them. He may have questions he wanted answering that he was unable to get to in the interviews, he may just be having a general chat.
The one thing we’ve learned about this setup is that the Jets don’t let anything get out there that they don’t want out there. So if you hear that the Jets are high on Trevor Penning or they are definitely in on McBride…that’s because the Jets want that to get out into the universe, they want other teams to think they’re high on certain prospects.
If you’ve ever tried engaging a scout in specific draft prospects in relation to how the organization views them, you’ll know it’s like getting blood out of a stone. So to think they’re all chit-chatting around a campfire in Mobile, revealing who they’re going to be targeting is a far-fetched motion.
