Sounds like Jets' 2nd pick is open for business...?

It would 100% be cheaper than the crazy Watson proposals floated around. 

Looking back there is some precedence for this. 2016 the Eagles moved up from 8 to 2, for a QB who was considered 2nd best in the draft. 

If they would take a similar offer to what the Eagles and Browns worked out I would pull the trigger personally even though I dont love the idea.

Just for the sake of making it easier to visualize I'm taking the exact terms of that deal in 2016 and applying it to present day picks:

Panthers get:

2021 1st - 2 overall

2022 4th

Jets get:

2021 1st - 8th overall 

2021 3rd 

2021 4th

2022 1st

2023 2nd

Difference is Watson was a proven elite talent in college and a proven elite talent in the NFL. 

Wilson is none of that. 

I don't see how people can be anti-Watson deal pre scandal and pro Wilson trade up.

overbidding for a proven NFL commodity is one thing....over bidding for a dude whose signature game was losing to Coastal Carolina doesn't do it for me. 

I'm not on the Wilson train but acting like that coastal Carolina game shows anything is both silly and lazy analysis.

Wilson played pretty well that game but a lot of his teammates didn't. His receivers were dropping balls left and right.

Oh 100% agree. I can see why he costs more in terms of capital. Only said this would be cheaper and if we're gauging it against the reported value of CMC, Burns AND 3 firsts for Watson, id go this route.

Just me and my admittedly personal opinion.

Pretend he doesn't have injury concerns.  

If I told you to point to one game where he showed he was worth trading up to the #2 spot....what game would that be?

Their bowl game (I forget which bowl it was). He was damn near surgical in that one.

Professional evaluators have him as the second best quarterback in the draft, and a few even say the first.

So "pretending he doesn't have injury concerns", hell yes, he'd be worth it.

Unfortunately, you can't draft on pretend.

Eh, a franchise QB finds a way to win games or so I heard.

It's not any one game, Wilson showed throughout the year that he was a top 10 worthy pick based on how he throws guys open, throws with anticipation, and throws incredibly accurately while improvising. 

Coastal was not on him. At all. Watch the film again, he was dropping dimes that were getting dropped left and right.

I don't want to give up a fortune for someone whose signature game is against a 6 win Central Florida team. 

Draft him at 8 is a big enough gamble as is.

    • Keep away from North Winston,  you should be fine. West Winston towards Clemmins is cool. If you're ever at the Peterscreek Walmart, the Pepsi guy is 😎. 
    • Game-winning drives have been credited to QBs since the beginning of time
    • A lot of people have been slobbing all over this last draft but I hate the way that Fitterer/Morgan have built this offense since drafting Bryce. Anyone with eyes knew our IOL was crap but we didn't invest there and instead took project receivers and an injured RB. If you want a lesson in how build for your QB wrong, IMO, this was it. Draft him, protect him, THEN get him weapons. Its pretty much a rule, draft interior linemen, pay tackles. We're paying everyone. We had the opportunity to draft a center instead of Brooks, or perhaps instead of trading up for XL, trade back and take 2 guards/center. We could have paid Lewis and still drafted 2, but Hunt at 100m was just an overpay. And it's not like the guys many of us were begging us to draft were long shots. They're solid starters from day 1. Injuries happen. That's why all your starters can't be high value players. You need rookie contracts mixed in to be able to absorb those inevitable losses on the line. An offensive line playing an entire season together is an abnormality.  Factor into that also paying Moton 44m this offseason with a huge signing bonus when we didnt need to do right now to do him a "solid".  Now we have to sign Icky and possibly Bryce and it's a mess with more money tied up in the offense, inevitable cuts and dead cap coming. That's not even factoring in shifting Corbett to C last year after major injury to start at a position he's never played for an NFL season. It's all stuff that was foreseeable and pretty easily avoided.  The $$ and picks we've spent trying to surround Bryce outside of Tmac (Mitchell and Horn are TBD) have been used inefficiently IMO. Smarter drafting and FA with the line could have let us get more reliable weapons than XL and Sanders in FA. It might not be popular opinion, but I'll take a Bersin with hands that can get 6-8 85% of the time vs a big play XL with greasy fingers.  The part about hitting guys in stride was more about placement, which Bryce has struggled with. Obviously not every route is run to be hit in stride, but they do need to have the ball placed well to give the receivers a chance to do something after the catch. I just used Hill as an example because he's the biggest YAC threat I could think of over the past 5 years.   Receivers can feast on dink and dunk if it's schemed right. But to make it work, that vertical threat has to be there, if not the deep pass then the high speed routes that can spring someone for the huge YAC to keep the safeties from cheating into that 20 yard box all game.  I hope DC and Bryce can keep up what they did in the last game and it isnt just an Atlanta thing. But no matter what, I really want to see some better long term strategy coming from the FO.
