This isn’t how this column was going to go. It seemed the right time to question Joe Douglas.



The Jets GM chose not to make a competitive run at re-signing Robby Anderson in free agency. Fine. He didn’t want to pay the price to add Amari Cooper, either. OK. In the first round of this year’s draft, he went with big offensive tackle Mekhi Becton over impressive wideouts CeeDee Lamb, Jerry Jeudy and Henry Ruggs. Whatever. It made sense. As long as Douglas added a pass catcher to aid in the development of young Sam Darnold in the second round.



But then he decided to trade back from 48 in exchange for the 59th overall selection and another third rounder from the Seahawks.



Could Douglas not see Baylor wideout Denzel Mims was there?



Make the pick! Don’t trade out. This is nonsense.



Or maybe it’s why Christopher Johnson put him in charge of the team’s personnel.



Not only did New York move back, but Mims...
