How do we feel after the Sugar Bowl about the #2 pick?

[Icer]

Temperature check post Sugar Bowl haze and our reactionary nature. I envision a lopsided result but lets find out.

[usanyj]

We have to take a QB, it’s the most important position in sports. You have a chance to do just that and be brought into the contemporary NFL. I don’t see a head coach candidate not wanting to build with his guy. 
we have a lot of draft capital to build the team and a ton of cap space. Reset the qb clock and build it.

[Jetstream]

How about a choice of take whichever QB falls to us?

[SomebodytoAnybody47]

Idk if you know this. But Sam Darnold is only 23. Still very young!

[Defense Wins Championships]

Zach Wilson became the flavor of the UCF week. 

Justin Fields became the flavor of the draft after Clemson. 

You should update the poll and add...

D.) Fields goes #1 overall and NYJ gets Trevor Lawrence. 

That'll give you a more accurate reading on how we really feel...

[Grandy]

Any of the options where we take a QB, there's some serious QB talent to be had.

Too early to know who it will be due to combine, pro days, declarations and meetings. However I trust Douglas to take the guy who he thinks is right for the job. 

[JohnnyLV]

Of course everyone is going to pick Fields but Wilson is still the better prospect. He has a more NFL ready game in a lot of ways.

I think the more interesting thing really is that Lawrence looked VERY ordinary tonight. In fact he has looked ordinary in his last 3 big games. NFL talent evaluators are not dumb, it could really affect his draft ratings.

[QB1]

you know who I voted for

No. He didn't. He's been the concensus #2 overall pick all year. Just because you had a personal crusade against him doesn't change that fact.

But has low football IQ

It's Field's world. We are all just living in it.

Hmmm The last time I heard that said it was about Josh Rosen..

Which means he's still plenty young and ready for a career change.

Sam is young but he'll be on the last year of his contract.  We should go with a rookie,  whether it's Fields or Wilson,  who gives us more upside at this point.

We are resetting the clock on QB, I’m hoping we can mug a team for a 3rd or better for Darnold the reclamation project.

[pdxgreen]

This is as predictable a question as "Would you like a lap dance from Gal Gadot?"

[mrcoops]

Haven't watched the game yet (started at 1am here, past my bedtime) but I feel the same today as did yesterday.

Draft Justin Fields.

[pajet]

where is the option that no matter what the Jets do, it will turn out like crap?

[GreenFish]

Wheres the option for “Trade for the 1st pick and draft Fields”?

... and for a time was considered the best prospect and a sure thing to go #1 in the draft.  

[Dunnie]

This was perfect for the jets .. Fields value just skyrocketed... trade the pick for a ransom ... fall back to 6-8 ... take Wilson.

Easiest decision ever.

No idea who I "want" ... don't know enough about any of these guys.

But to answer the question "how do I feel about the 2 pick"? I feel better.

Having not seen Wilson play would you say he checks all the boxes as Fields and Lawrence? I know the level of competition is different; but in terms of arm strength, accuracy, pocket awareness, touch, competitiveness, football IQ, leadership and athletic ability is he equal. 
If the answer is yes, JD has to consider trading down. However if they do there is no guarantee that a team can’t jump trade into Miami’s spot and take your QB. 

JD would be playing Russian roulette. if he gets cute he could regret it. 

[predator_05]

Same as before.

Some of you guys are assuming Trevor doesn't go 1st. He's got enough credit in the bank for this to not matter.

Wilson's arm, accuracy and IQ have been elite. He is also EXCEPTIONALLY SMOOTH.

He has some mobility .. but hes no Fields.

I think hes the best prospect not named Lawrence... he is in the conversation to be sure.

Wilson will be the better pro.

[Butterfield]

Trade trade trade.

[Warfish]

Undecided.

I still see much value in drafting the Elite Tackle.

Fields was very impressive last night.

And a trade for multiple high picks over multiple years has clear value to a talent-deficient roster.

It's good to have multiple "good" choices available.

[CTJetsFan]

When you have the #2 overall pick and you still have questions at QB after 3 years and a lot of draft picks to continue building, you take a QB when there are 2 (maybe 3) top ones. 

Sam (although not a!l his fault) has not proven to be worth the $25 million plus 5th year option. The economics of football tell you to get another QB on a rookie contract

[section314]

We should feel like our pick just became incredibly valuable.
