The Jets added some much-needed help on the offensive line in Round 1 of the 2020 NFL Draft, scooping up Mekhi Becton with the 11th overall pick. On Day 2, Joe Douglas went to work. Jets fans should be really excited about what he accomplished. First, he traded back and his patience was rewarded with one of the highest-upside receivers in the class. Next, he grabbed the safety with the best range in this entire class before grabbing a developmental EDGE rusher with a ton of athleticism. We'll be tracking every player they take and every grade they receive for those picks in this space throughout draft weekend.
