🔥🔥🔥 He really is the 2nd best QB and could end up being the best pro of this bunch. He’s miles ahead of Mac Jones. @NOFALCONS10 😂 Jones looks like a third rounder compared to Wilson.
Conventional wisdom and the presence of common sense would say that yes, the New York Jets should and MAYBE EVEN likely will draft Wilson with the #2 overall pick about a month from now, but considering this is the same franchise who's history is filled with mindless, idiotic decisions to draft players while passing over future HOF'ers like Dan Marino, Warren Sapp, and other high-quality All-Pro talent just slip right past them by nunerous FO's, owners, much less the current regime in charge.
How can some of us who are maybe more critical and have a tendency to keep a eye open up possible tendencies of certain teams surprise draft-day choices not be sure the Jets won't fork it up with Wilson, thinking they can still successfully salvage Darnold's career when the problem isn't really him, its just the Jets FO and HC doesn't know how to construct a solid, contending team because they think theyll find that next Lamar Jackson, or Deshaun Watson franchise-caliber MVP player that they build up around once he's in place so they continually overreach and continue to select busts or players who end up having disappointing careers and are retired within 5 years.
If you're a Jets fan, how can you ever be so sure theyll listen to conventional wisdom and take the BPA and instead won't make some unorthodox, totally unexpected, relative nobody like Kyle Brady or _______ they chose instead of picking Lawrence Taylor in 1981 and while Ken O'Brien was a good QB who made two Pro Bowls during his career as Jets QB, it just doesn't even come close to satisfying the nagging, what-if, moments or scenarios NY sports journalists, reporters, writers, and national pundits wondered how different the team's fortunes might've been if they'd picked better players. The Jets franchise, as a whole at least since modern FA came along, have been much better at signing already-good players and them continuing to excel rest of their careers then drafting a highly-touted collegiate and then developing them into Pro-Bowl players. Those they have, like Keyshawn Johnson, or even Mark Gastineau either don't stay very long or they eventually self-destruct and nearly get banned by the league.
