Impressive red zone work.

Mac Jones is a very nice QB, but he's nowhere near as impressive as Wilson on the rollout and moving pocket type stuff. He just doesn't look natural doing it.

If Najee is there at 34.....I wouldn’t hate it

Taking Najee at 34 is one of those things I consistently tell myself "isn't smart" and yet if he's there... Apparently I'm not that smart.

Jones had some misses on the long ones but has been very good on the short to mid range passes imo.

He's the next Chad Pennington.

These guys trying to convince people that taking Jones over Fields is a good idea is embarrassing.

I'm just going to drop this here.

Joe Douglas must be blown away at what a beast of a man Justin Fields after seeing Wilson.

So Fields is just UNDER 6'3" and Wilson is just OVER 6'2" ?

In other words, they're practically the same height.

[Paradis]

I just love Fields and would take him all day if I was selecting a QB. it’s not a knock on Wilson anymore - I’m sure NFL teams can win with both - but there’s something about the style of play you’re gonna get from Fields that feels like “we’re finally catching up” with current NFL offenses.

He must do this a lot in practice when Cam Newton throws a routine shallow cross pass into the dirt.

Yea he’s a hole 10 pounds heavier 

Wilson is a sneaky good athlete, he can windmill dunk supposedly

He’s the total package. Nick Chubb and Jonathan Taylor went early in round two. It’s a home run if we can land Harris at 34.

“Sneaky good athlete” i.e. he’s white

If Belli is going to shake his head at that he will get whip lash from watching Cam Newton skip balls all day.

He slows down his receivers a lot tho. I think he adjusted to throwing safer versions of his throws. He has a nice zip on short throws.

His deep balls are generally a lot higher, i think with the roof being low he had to adjust the trajectory of his deep passes which led to some over throws early.  Then just not being able to work with your guys sometimes is tough.  A WR and TE you barely ever hear of with a sprinkle here and there of harris and maybe 6 routes from Smith.  Overall it wasn't anything exceptionally strong by him but I thought it was a good day, I thought he went above and beyond to try to dispel the movement critiques (maybe even to his detriment on some throws) and showed some zip on the shorter intermediate stuff.  If you like him as a prospect, I dont think anything you saw today dissuaded you from that.

I’ve talked myself into and out of both Fields and Wilson a couple times since December. I thought Darnold would be a stud and Allen would be awful. I’m at the point now where I don’t care anymore and I’m just sick of overanalyzing these prospects. We are lucky to be at 2 to grab one of these quarterbacks. I really like this class and I hope the coaching staff can finally develop one of them.

It feels great to have an identity again.

So Fields are Wilson are virtually same height with fields 13 lbs heavier.

Interesting.  He just won the Hawaiian College Football Player of the year award.

I believe Wilson checked in at 6.021 (6' 2 1/8") on his pro day.  Fields was a legit 6' 3".  So virtually could include that difference I suppose.

He was under 6'3"

[PS17]

I know Fields only weighs 10 pounds more than Wilson. But he looks so much sturdier and bigger. My only worry about Wilson is his build and durability.

Where are all these running Qb’s who’ve won Super Bowls?

Brady just won a SB Lamar can’t come back from multiple scores down when teams know he has to pass yet all I hear is you need an extremely fast QB..

Imo you just need a QB who can move his feet and has pocket awareness to avoid a rush..

I think this running Qb thing is a little overblown..

 

 

[Beerfish]

Fields looks sharp.

[QB1]

That was ugly though

Missed Breer's tweet about 'just under 6'3".  I saw 6'3" somewhere else.  My bad.
