Garopollo weighed 12 pounds more pre-draft. That is alot considering that we know Wilson packed on at least 10 pounds over the last few months. Darnold is actually about an inch taller than Garopollo, but weighs about the same, maybe a little less. Garoppolo is the sturdiest of the three, but still gets hurt. Garoppolo appeared in 21 games for the Patriots, started 2. He looked very good in his two starts and otherwise looked good in fill-in/injury sub. I think we can find at least 2 games where Darnold looked good. Based on Garoppolo's college career and his limited appearances, the 49ers gave the Patriots a 2nd round draft pick for the last year's of Garoppolo's contract. I think someone should give the Jets a second round pick for Darnold. I hope its this year. There is no way Wilson plays 16 games in a Jets season, particularly behind this line. The question is who signs up as the interim if we are not going to use Darnold that way. There were at least 3 in his rookie year when he looked great, not just good. It's that 2018 season in the Shanahan-like system that Jeremy Bates ran, when we had a bit better protection, and Darnold had "weaponz" like Jermaine Kearse, Robby Anderson, and Terrell Pryor that he looked his best. Kinda interesting that the WR still left in the NFL who is having any degree of success is Anderson as Carolina's WR2/3. I need to go back and watch the Denver, Indianapolis, Green Bay, etc. games again from Darnold's rookie season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They moved back. Conveniently on the day of Wilson's Pro Day and within an hour of Wilson measuring well (actually very well). You are naïve if you think that Douglas and Saleh did not clue in them about their intentions. They are not going to screw over their friends and burn bridges, GMs DO discuss actual players in trade scenarios. There is really no possibility that Roseman did not ask Douglas something like "if we trade to 3 do you think Wilson will be there?" and for Lynch to ask "Joe, are you interested in trading out of 3?" The two together are such strong evidence that it is like 99% certain the Jets are taking Wilson. Allbright has stated that the Jets are not even hiding that they are picking Wilson and he is one of the most dependable insiders. Breer has confirmed it as has King last night. It would be incredibly shocking at this point if the Jets do not select Wilson. You may not like it, but it is what it is. Also the SF trade made the cost of the #2 pick pretty much unreachable. Carolina will probably switch to discussion with Cincinatti Detroit and even Miami for trading up. First 3 picks are locks at QB (Lawrence, Wilson, Lance/Jones). Pretty much all of the playmakers are falling. In fact if Atlanta chooses to not draft a QB or trade down, then there is a good chance Fields drops to Carolina anyway. I see no way anyone trades up to 2 at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munchmemory Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 "As for the Steelers, if the price is right they could see some similarities in how Darnold plays to how their own quarterback did in his early 20s." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
