Todd Bowles’ Explanation For Jets Acquiring No. 3 Pick Is A Bit Puzzling

If what Todd Bowles said Tuesday was true, then the New York Jets have some explaining to do. On March 17, the Jets traded up for the No. 3 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, sending the Indianapolis Colts the No. 6 overall pick and three second-rounders.
