jetswinbaby! Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Trevor Lawrence was not in play for the Jets, and Zach Wilson was taken #2... Even if Joe Douglas had just thrown a dart at a board with the names of the players taken from 3 - 13 on it (AVT was then taken #14)... Solid starters, Big-time contributors, Pro-bowlers... How did he manage to get it so wrong?... 1) Jacksonville Jaguars – Trevor Lawrence, QB, Clemson 2) New York Jets – Zach Wilson, QB, BYU 3) San Francisco 49ers (from HOU through MIA) – Trey Lance, QB, North Dakota State 4) Atlanta Falcons – Kyle Pitts, TE, Florida 5) Cincinnati Bengals – Ja’Marr Chase, WR, LSU 6) Miami Dolphins (from PHI) – Jaylen Waddle, WR, Alabama 7) Detroit Lions – Penei Sewell, OT, Oregon ? Carolina Panthers – Jaycee Horn, CB, South Carolina 9) Denver Broncos – Patrick Surtain II, CB, Alabama 10) Philadelphia Eagles (from DAL) – DeVonta Smith, WR, Alabama 11) Chicago Bears (from NYG) – Justin Fields, QB, Ohio State 12) Dallas Cowboys (from PHI through SF, MIA) – Micah Parsons, LB, Penn State 13) Los Angeles Chargers – Rashawn Slater, OT, Northwestern 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Thornburgh Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Other than Lance and Fields that’s a loaded draft. Shame on JD for blowing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chirorob Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Its funny. The 2 worst players in that list went #2 and #3. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varjet Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 I refuse to believe that Woody did not have something to do with this. He definitely applied pressure to try and find a QB with a new rookie deal. They convinced themselves that Wilson was better than Darnold. Wilson is not better than Darnold. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Mac Jones would’ve been a better fit than Wilson in this offense too bad picking Jones at 2 would’ve been a reach. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not hindsight when you know it before the draft/pick happens. It was obvious for a team with so many holes and installing new systems.

After screwing up the being the leaders of the TL race all year, they should have traded down and filled holes. Then bring in a vet QB to help install the offensive system and mentor the young offense. Oh well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s the wager? it depends if the Jets get an offensive mind with a CLUE imagine relying on Mike LaFloor and Calabrese Quote Over the final seven weeks, Wilson ranked in the top half of NFL starters (min. 100 attempts) in total touchdowns and in the top five in fewest turnovers. He closed the season without an interception in 156 passing attempts, the longest rookie streak in franchise history and longest streak by a Jets QB since 2000.
