And he's an inch taller and 5lbs lighter than Desean Watson.  5lbs is nothing. Nobody is complaining about Watson's size.  Wilson can easily put on 10 pounds of muscle as a pro if it was wanted or needed.

Watson has 15-20 pounds of muscle on him easily

 

wilson is listed at 205.  Watson is 220ish.

I still am hopefully we get Wilson over any trade. His intangibles are worth the chance. Gives us plenty of money and draft assets to help fix the line and retain the offensive firepower. A trade would mean we have no room for error and have to be extremely smart with every signal football move for a few years to have a solid foundation built to be a contender. I would rather build culture with our own people. TB is ours for up to 2 more years, I’d take that with Wilson developing and a lot more young offensive firepower to accumulate over time.

It seems that some NFL scouts and some here on the Huddle have concerns about his character, calling him Johnny Manziel without the drug problem. Basically calling him a spoiled rich kid, even so it seems that Steve Young and the 49ers are willing to take a shot at him if he's available around #12 in the draft.               https://www.knbr.com/2020/12/23/nfl-scouts-detail-character-concerns-for-zach-wilson-in-recent-report/

One guy on Walter Football which is a joke. No one else says anything. Some folks want to take a shot at him because he goes to BYU. Someone is going to get a heck of a player.

I agree, I think he would be a good pick. Kid's gotta helluva an arm. Steve Young seems to think so as well.

We probably have to trade up with NYJ to get him. I think NY might just take him. It would be a LOT easier if we had the number three overall pick to do this. 

With the Lions now officially in QB mode we are officially on the outside looking in and will have to trade up to get a QB. 

Jax- Lawrence

NYJ- Wilson

ATL- Fields

Det- Lance

In some sort of order. 

BUT HEY WINNING CULTURE

Jax Jets and Detroit doing wonders over the years with all those top picks. Draft order champs....

So, let me get this straight. We want a guy with basically one season as starting QB, who had hand and shoulder surgery the season before. In a COVID challenged season he blew away teams from the cupcake carousel divisions until running into the Coastal Carolina powerhouse where he was taken to the woodshed.

You want to bet the farm on this guy and not worry that he was a flash in the pan against lesser competition? I'd pass.

    • Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.
    • I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.
    • What weird blood red moon has cast its spell?  What’s next, dogs and cats sleeping together? Bonus question:  Did Canales open up his playbook or did Bryce find an extra high gear in his stick shift?
