Actually I think he is going DB at 23 (corner not safety, though). My rationale is in slats’s thread, if you’re having trouble sleeping.

Then we watched Justin Fields tear it up against Clemson and look like a very good consolation prize. Then all of a sudden some guy from BYU sprung out of no where after a great bowl game against UCF who 99% of the regular joes had never heard of before December and was been talked about as a top 10 pick Then we spent 3 months of arguments of is this kid from BYU better than Darnold and is the trade down a better option or should we reset the rookie contract. Now it's Wilson is the #2 pick and there is no other option so get excited or be miserable. For some of us it's hard to get excited about a guy who only came to light during draft season, he wasn't on the radar to the vast majority of us as a great consolation prize to TL as the NFL season was progressing. We've been here before and been sold the next great draft prospect only for it to blow up in our face so I'm sorry for not been excited about Wilson after 52 years of expectations from O'brien, pennington, Sanchez, Darnold and now wilson. I think if Jet fans have criticisms of a specific prospect (human being, lest we forget these are actual human beings we are talking about) they should be able to somehow back them up. Not with any kind of expertise, just with some kind of valid argument a person can wrap their head around. Its fine to say you prefer Fields or you're disappointed we missed out on TL or you think Lance has more upside or you don't like Wilson b/c of X, Y, Z (given that those are valid reasons), or f**k maybe you even feel like this is the perfect time to strike a deal for Watson. I think you'll hear a bit of all of these opinions from Jet fans on this forum. But to argue that Wilson is a bad pick because hes not big enough and/or comes from wealth doesn't really have merit. lol. It's totally fine if some Jet fans are not to be on board with Wison, they can form their own opinion and time will tell. Just don't trash him without merit. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, thats got to be miserable. Most of us never heard of Wilson until three months ago and have only seen him on film or in pictures. That's why we can't get excited. Imagine your long lost brother-in-law suddenly appearing out of nowhere and now, he's coming to live with you. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has tons of talent and is being hand picked by very smart individuals like Joe D and Coach Saleh. Its amazing we are going to have a qb with this much talent and upside. Add to that the fact that have have about 10 picks in this draft to surround him w/ talent. What an amazing and exciting time to be a jet fan!!!!!!!!! 5 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsbb Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 It appears the Jets have finally told the Zach Wilson family he will be the pick. The father started following Woody Johnson on twitter and Zach just followed on instagram allinonestopshop which is located in NJ 30 minutes from Floram park. Not to mention also recently following Quinnen and Perrine. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then Young went and shot his mouth off because he wanted Wilson to go to the 9'ers , and embarassed everyone. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson, even though he was from BYU, had a bit of a buzz around him as a freshman. He was the youngest QB to ever start at BYU. and posted a 157+ RTG. If he was playing for USC, OSU, Alabama etc. the buzz would have been much louder. In that off-season, he had some clean up surgery done on his shoulder. Much like Lawrence had this year. He wasn't 100% precent at the beginning of the season. About the time his shoulder got to 100%, he broke his hand. His stats wern't horrible, but not what was hoped for. Oh well, poop happens. Everyone has an excuse. Then 2020 happpened. Screwed up season, but Wilson's tape was better then any other QB in this draft. People who watch a lot of college football started noticing him again in late Oct-Nov. People who don't follow college think he just exploded on the season like Darnold did over one bowl game. Going into the season I wanted to watch Lawrence, Fields, and Lance. Between them they played like 12 games. IMO, none blew me away as generational QB's. Wilson played 12. Because I love college much more then NFL, except the Jets, I discovered him as a real interesting QB to watch in late Oct. After the Coastal Carolina game, I was all in. I honestly can say after watching every throw he has made, I can't recall being more impressed with the arm talent, and field vison of any QB I have watched in a VERY long time. He didn't just appear in the Bowl game. Darnold and Sanchez kind of did, then had meh last seasons on powerful teams. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved Sam coming out, I literally had tears in my eyes when we drafted him. Just don’t want to see that happen to another fine young man. It’s no surprise that the draft Sam came out of the QBs that went to the teams that built around them have done w the best. We need another draft to be ready for Zach, just don’t see him succeed as a plug in starter in this team. If we grab a vet to start and kid come along slowly then I’m fine with him. I only prefer Fields because the Clemson game beating he took is what the QB we draft and start will face. That damn, Kid took a licking abs kept on ticking. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
