Also because we are Jets fans and we have to panic about something during the draft. But make no mistake, this player had\u00a0buzz. Gil Brandt said he was a\u00a0probable third round pick, based on his pro day, where McDougle vertical leapt something ridiculous like 37 inches. McDougle is a great athlete, who has been unlucky with injuries. The \u201cgood\u201d news is all his injuries were upper body stuff (collarbone, shoulder, hand) and can still run like the wind. McDougle is a willing tackler and most of these injuries occurred while he was throwing himself at ball carriers. This is an injury-upside pick where the guy\u2019s value could have been higher than it was, in theory, if he were healthy. Note that the Patriots basically made the same type of pick in round one. If a team is going to make this type of speculative reach its better they do it in round three than round one. It should also be noted that the third round has been a wasteland for this franchise in recent years (BJ Askew, the Boar Hunter) and it\u2019s almost like they treated it as an early fourth rounder, which is fine by me.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #2b8e70;\">Fans shouldn\u2019t expect McDougle to start in year one, as the Jets are paying Dimitri Patterson pretty well this year. This is why Darqueze Dennard didn\u2019t make quite as much sense in round one as Calvin Pryor; the Jets are looking at a lineup of Dee Milliner, Patterson and Kyle Wilson for week 1. As other message board posters have pointed out, McDougle kinda sorta looks like Milliner in the face, which is a useless but fun corollary. But long term, McDougle has real potential to start in Rex\u2019s system and it wasn\u2019t as terrible a reach as some fans are making it out to be.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Jets now have their full squad, minus Mike Goodson, at minicamp this week. \u00a0You can continue the conversation in our forums and read more about <a href=\"http:\/\/forums.jetnation.com\/topic\/115906-jets-sign-dexter-mcdougle\/\">Dexter McDougle<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The NY Jets announced that they signed 3rd round draft pick Dexter McDougle. \u00a0McDougle was their last remaining unsigned free agent.
