Zach Wilson’s March 26th Pro Day

[Mage]

Zach Wilson is the real deal.  I personally think he has an extremely high floor.  He is gonna be a solid QB. The question for me is how great can he be.  But I see a lot of Tony Romo in his game.  A playmaker at the QB position who can make throws on nearly every platform.  

I think people are overthinking it with him.  Yeah he played at BYU but focus less on that and focus just on the accuracy, the footwork, the arm strength, the mobility.  Tight coverage is tight coverage and Wilson could needle it in there consistently.  Jets would be fools to pass up on him, and I'd be ecstatic if we traded up for him.

With that said I love Justin Fields too.  Very similar to Deshaun Watson.  I'd love them both, and I could see any of the big three (Wilson, Fields, Lawrence) being the best QB in the draft although Lawrence is obviously the safest bet.  After that, count me out.  Those are the only 3 guys worth taking in the 1st.  Lance is just too raw.  Jones' ceiling, I just don't know with him.  I like him more than Lance though.  Please for the love of all things holy do not draft Trey Lance in the 1st round.  I'd rather stick with Teddy.

When he weighs in his height is going to be shorter then listed and his hand size could come in low too. I wouldn't be surprised if his arm strength takes a knock too.

Fair.

Seriously though, if a guy doesn't have a record of fumbling all the time, who gives a rat's ass?

I’d say it’s meaningless like that wonderlic test.

I think the ideal size is like 10 or 10 1/2

Are the Panthers the only team who might be willing to trade up?

Who's the competition?

Dan Patrick said there is a fringe tram who's definitely going to try and move up. I'm guessing that means just outside the top 10.

6'2 is huge for him. Weight looks good too. 

Ton of concern over his size. I wouldn't have been surprised if he measured under 6 foot like Kyler. 

That frame means he's got room to bulk up. Never a bad thing

Bears, 49ers, WFT, Broncos and thats just top of my head. 

Plenty of other QB needy teams that may not have the capital for 2 - Saints, Steelers, Patriots

And of course Houston pending the Watson stuff.

Well, there went the size concerns. I thought Lawrence was a lot bigger than that for some reason. I thought he was 230+.

Guess we figured out the fringe team. 3 first rounders for moving up 9 spot, holy hell.

Wow.  Just watched his pro day.

Trey Lance might have MARGINALLY better overall arm strength, but Zach Wilson clearly has the best overall arm TALENT in this draft.  I am no longer convinced that Lawrence is the best QB in this class.  The difference between TL and ZW is not nearly what I thought it was.

for those in the hand size = success category

 

Joe borrow had a whole thing about his hand size last year and he was by far the best quarterback in his draft class before the bengals incompetence gave him a backyard knee replacement

He just screams bust, I’m sorry and already had shoulder injury. Not good at all

Lol ok bub, Wilson is probably the most talented qb in this draft. Just got off work so I’m saying that without watching him throw today

OK, Huddle friends, I can't lie; Zach Wilson was impressive! If he can get a good bill of health (and hopefully stay healthy), his floor seems mighty high, and his ceiling even higher of course. He damned sure has my approval FWIW, and I can usually spot "it", and Wilson has it!
