Biggs Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 12 minutes ago, QB1 said: At equivalent points in their careers Hackenberg was a more accomplished high school and college QB than Mills. You are projecting Mills based on nothing (again, using the same methodology hack was QB1 after 13 starts) Mills was far better in college than Hackenberg. He has very limited starts yet he has played well against much better competition than either Wilson or Trey Lance. Hackenberg was never close to as good as Mills in College. He had a decent freshman season followed by two terrible college seasons. He was projected as a 4th round pick. Mac was a dope for taking him in the 2nd. Hackenberg actually did play in college and he sucked and he had a bad attitude and while he had a great arm in terms of strength was terrible on short passes and a complete statue. Not saying Mills can't bust. He is a high risk pick because there isn't much on him. However he played well against good competition and he's got great size athletes and a great arm and throwing mechanics. He was also recruited and played for David Shaw who's someone I have a lot of faith in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We seem to revel in hoping underdog mid-rounders will turn out great, yet they so rarely do. Personally, I agree. I think if you want a true playmaker at the RB position you have to use a 2nd or 3rd round pick. But I really do think this coaching staff believes they CAN find the right RB later in the draft and get the most out of him in this system. They've done it before and I have faith they can do it again. I have no problem with the Jet drafting a guy like Michael Carter in the 3rd or Khalil Herbert in the 4th or 5th and using him in a committee with the guys we currently have on the roster. Both of these guys the Jets have shown interest in. Herbert in Rd. 4 or 5 would actually represent really great value. I love his speed, balance and fit in this offense. As far as O-line, I think its GUARANTEED JD will target an O-lineman early. Either at 23, a trade down from 23, at 34, a trade up from 34. At some point in that range the Jets will take an O-lineman and JD will make it happen. Only some unlikely draft night events will change that scenario. So I think Jet fans should expect a potential rookie plug and play starter on the o-line in 2021 and not worry too much about how far away we are from re-building the o-line or being able to run the ball, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why we ended up with Sam Darnold. Zach Wilson had a great year playing against mostly garbage talent, but also put up a monster performance against a ranked Boise St. team. Regardless, you could also argue that Trevor Lawrence and Mac Jones played with talent that was FAR better than the teams they faced. So it's all relative. Do you think Zach Wilson would have benefited from playing with Waddle, Smith and Najee Harris at BYU? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Integrity28 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I’m really struggling with Zach as the pick.

The combination of run for life and limp throws that get bailed out by wide open WRs reminds me of Jake Plummer at Arizona.

I think he's got great talent and he's edgy and hyper competitive. I think he's stats in college football are almost worthless. BYU played nobody and had physical mismatch's to exploit in almost every game. I think Davis Mills has great talent and has a nothing resume in college. My point is college resume is worthless unless the guy actually sucks in college like Hackenberg. We actually knew he sucked because he played a lot of games and the more he played the more he sucked. I expect every college QB who is a real prospect to put up big numbers in college although more and more guys will come out early after 1 good year.
