I really think Darren Mougey deserves a third year as the #Jets' GM, and the more I look at his body of work, the more confident I feel about that. Look, the record is awful. 5-19 is unacceptable. But when I evaluate Mougey individually, I see a GM who has done a pretty damn good job of building a young foundation and putting this franchise in a much better position for the future. Look at the draft classes. Membou, Mason Taylor, AZ Thomas, David Bailey, Kenyon Sadiq, Omar Cooper Jr. All guys who have already shown legitimate promise, with several looking like long-term building blocks. Then look at the value he's found elsewhere. Minkah Fitzpatrick for a seventh-round pick. T'Vondre Sweat for Jermaine Johnson. Dane Belton, Kingsley Enagbare, etc. He's consistently found ways to improve the roster without sacrificing significant resources. And perhaps most importantly, look at the assets he's accumulated. Three first-round picks and a second for Sauce and Quinnen. The Jets are sitting on a ridiculous amount of draft capital with an opportunity to completely reshape this franchise. I also like that Mougey recognized some of the flaws in his approach from Year 1 and adjusted. That's something I value in a GM. There's still a lot he has to prove, especially when it comes to finding a franchise quarterback. But I think he's earned the opportunity to see this through and hire his own head coach. The Jets have a lot of problems right now. I just don't think Mougey is near the top of that list.
