Not if the Jets get Deshaun Watson. I hope the Eagles take him.
looks like Johnny Manziel too
Jets need to take Fields period!!
No way. Jets going with a national champion QB Mmac JOnes. Marfk my words. No one in Joe Douglas's skin is dum enpough to [pick Zack Wilson over Mac Jones. You watch.
Someone find what Greeny said about Dwayne Haskins out of college. I guarantee you he is another one who salivated over Haskins. Any team to draft an Ohio State QB in the first round will set themselves back 5 years. That being said, Zach Wilson is a 3rd round talent.
I would take Field
We were told, last year that Tua was Light Years above Justin Herbert 😎
To me if the Jets don’t take Fields they will regret it. Zach Wilson reminds me of Baker Mayfield with more accuracy. The thing is his speed won’t help him in the pros. His stature looks like Johnny Football. Can he be good sure. But Justin Fields is evening you need in a modern QB. The man can rush and throw and has one of the highest QBR’s ever. What really are we even talking about here honestly? His numbers are absolutely comparable to Trevor Lawrence . I don’t see how or why their rating Lawrence so much higher than Fields honestly
Who will have a better career? Zach Wilson or Johnny Manziel?
Johnny Mariel no dought about it he had more college hype and college hype is the only thing either them will ever have
No lol fields is so much better
Bust
Remember deshaun Watson was said to play great in the big games also, and nfl gms fell in love with Mitchell tribiskey. Same story
@Kevin Treadaway Kevin Treadaway, The Jets, do not want Justin Fields, the White Pundits, want the Jets, to take the White Guy Zach Wilson, as if this guy is a World Beater, and i am saying how is he Better than Justin Fields, and that's why i said they are Bias, and Prejudice, and they saying i Mentioned Race, when there deeds, proves, there Racism.
Mitchell T. never threw the ball like this kid.
@Kevin Treadaway because Ohio St. has a history of producing valuable QB’s..............
@Kevin Treadaway I think he will and Mel the idiot will rage and be like “the got the right position it’s the wrong guy” but there’s a reason I called him will the idiot
Kent Purdy Ik that I’m just saying what anylists thought
Zach Wilson may end up being the best qb in this draft he’s that gifted .
I know it won’t happen but would Love if the Patriots would trade to get Z.Wilson but we’ll probably draft a D3 LB from no where state
You feel however you want ??? Why would I care
Yeah we all feel real bad for Pats fans
Zach Wilson is the most overrated quarterback in college football. Justin fields played against better competition. Zach Wilson struggled against coastal Carolina. If you put Zach Wilson in the south eastern conference he does not have success that he had this year. Justin Fields has has MULTIPLE GOOD YEARS...plus he Was highly recruited in high school. Nobody was talking about Zach Wilson last year...I hope my Carolina Panthers select Justin Fields.
The disrespect fields gets is crazy to me,as a jets fan I’m praying we don’t draft Wilson,I would rather keep Darnold, these experts didn’t like Watson coming out of college so why should I listen to there opinions.
U r a smart human unlike these paid idiotic experts
Mac jones is better
Dumb take Greeny...thats basically all the options available.
Josh Rosen was a cant miss prospect as well lol. Shut up with this. Yall want all these unproven rookies to keep up with the Joneses. How about yall use the draft picks for help for Darnold instead of giving up on him. His offensive line sucks and he has HS WR core. Tom Brady couldnt do anything with that Jets team.
I'm a Jets fan. I want Zack Wilson. Then with the second pick, I want a top receiver. Then in the second round round we have two picks plus when Darnold is traded another second round pick. If Joe is a real GM, then let's see it. Pick some winners. Anyone can trade for Watson. Let's see the creativity.
We’ve seen this movie before. Fields barely got beat by Clemson & sunshine 1 year & then blows em out the next & he’s not in discussions as the top QB but will be picked behind a guy who has not played elite competition... Okay
Wilson is just better! Period!
@Bart87 exactly! That argument kills me. They wanna talk about P5 Dbs. Zach's top receiver was a Walk on originally. Fields was throwing to wide open 5 star receivers. But somehow that's a knock on Zach. Ridiculous
Who's better Sam Darnold or Josh allen
You seem really focused on who they have played against and not who they have played with. Fields got to throw to Ohio St receivers behind an Ohio St. oline. Does that part of the equation not matter?
I Would pass him Up he is not Better than Justin Fields.
Ww2
Greenie giving up on Sam Darnold for Zack Wilson who played in clean pockets & had open receivers all season,...REALLY?!!! Zack ain’t better than Darnold!!! If my Jets trade Sammy I hope it’s to the 49ers so he can win Super Bowls!
This is why I don’t like the nfl because of the obvious script they are running
Blacks gonna be so mad if Wilson goes 2nd 😂😂😂😂😂
The MAYO is HEAVY on this one ......
burnt biscuit, is that you?
Zach Wilson is good but I’m afraid he hasn’t played anyone that actually is good. He didn’t play any good competition to see how great he is and his size seems like he would get destroyed against top defenses.
Why does anyone listen to Greeny anyway? He's a life long jet fan who has never put the pads on.
Of course. Justin Fields is black.
maybe that has sth to do with it but zach wilson is actually talented not just another good looking white boy who goes at the top of the draft, dude's a baller.
Clausen 2.0
Justin Field fans are used to people always doubting and speaking bad on his name like he hasn't done just as much as your favorite qb
@hossein yousefzadi he’s good and worth the pick
@Kagiso Kgatse bruh trevor has been the no1 overall pick since he was like 15
@hossein yousefzadi right but I don't hear anyone saying the same thing about Trevor? Double standards everywhere. This is exactly what I was talking about in my first comment.
@Kagiso Kgatse this video had nothing to do with justin fields but you're in the comments talking abt him????.... justin fields is not the owner of 2nd overall pick, someone else can go over him.
@hossein yousefzadi I said people. I don't think anyone smart would listen to what greeny has to say about football
Zach Wilson has no similarities to Trubisky so stop it. 😂 He's a proper QB, serious talent.
These the same people who said Mitch Trubisky was better than Deshaun Watson😂😂😂
That is Correct Southfield Trill, and the Same thing is going to Happen, with all these White Social Media Pundits, trying to influence, the Jets, to Take Zach Wilson, over Justin Fields, and that's going to Backfire, on the Jets, if they do, Bias, and Prejudice, Asshole's.
@Ntchwai Bey everything about race with u? That's pathetic
@Ntchwai Bey Mitch Trubisky couldn't hold Zach Wilson's jock! They're not alike. Zach excels at reading defenses. Trubisky doesn't know what a second and third read even means
That is Correct Southfield Trill, thinking the White QB, was Smarter, and more Talented, than the Black QB , and these White Pundits, or host on Social Media, are doing the Same thing, Picking this Zach Wilson, over Justin Fields, that's the Same, as the Bear, Picking Mitchell Trubisky, and passing on Deshaun Watson, and the Jets, are going to do the same thing as the Bears, did.
@Garrett Hoskins fax
Greeny predicts? Whoop de friggin do
Dan Orlovsky is like Fetch from Mean Girls. Stop trying to make him happen!
a mean girls reference in 2021?.... come on man be better.
Zack is trash
Great to see that Fields could drop, he could end up in a great situation and become the best QB in his draft class
If I was in charge of WFT I would be very aggressive in trying to trade up to get Wilson
My question is why would Wilson be the number 2 pick based on what??? The highest ranked team he played against was 18th ranked Coastal Carolina which he lost and he was 19/30 for 240 yards with 1Td and 1 Int. It seems to me that after Washington cut Haskins, his poor play was project down on Fields since they both came from Ohio State. But, if I’m Fields I would be delighted to fall to a good team.
His passer rating vs the chandeliers was 68.something and that team was mostly only good on offense
Here we go again down playing Fields.
Nobody is trading up for him🙄
This literally reminds me of trubisky
Justin fields>Zach Wilson
i would love for the jets to draft him, giving us (Atlanta) no choice but to draft Fields of available.
@mike newbill please tell me that’s a joke. Fields is a true dual threat to run the ball. I’d take him any day over Mac as good as he is. Mac had an all world receiver you’ll come to find out at the next level. Devonta Smith is the next Randy Moss minus the height difference. Jalen Waddle is no scrub either.
@mike newbill we will
Hahaha ok bud.well see who has the better rookie season
@mike newbill Yes they do when used out of context they very well do
@Patrick Stevensnumbers dont lie
What a good looking white boy. He looks like a lead singer of boy band. He reminds me of Justin Timberfake.
There is nothing special about anyone else but Lawrence.. Wilson is another over hyped Kirk Cousins if the Jets take him we will never get a special talent at QB ever
Zach Wilson = Drew Lock
@Jordan Alexander yea because he’s more like Ryan leaf
Your drunk
These guys know nothing about football 🤣🤣 remember Jimmy Clausen
Clausen. Isn't that an Ice cream.
The dude is so cocky he’s boring he reminds me of the pajama boy
Why do people believe that NFL.scout draft Qb Based where they play in college ? They could care less
You heard it here first and mark my words. Mac Jones will be the only QB in this year's draft class that will be a starting QB in the NFL 5 years from now.
@Daniel J He's overhyped because his defense shut down bama a couple years ago and Justyn Ross made him look good with some unbelievable 1 handed catches. He's a good QB don't get me wrong but I've never bought into the hype surrounding him. His predecessor Deshaun Watson was a lot better imo.
💯 i whole hearted believe that too Trevor will be the biggest disappointed in nfl history
2 major surgeries already, on the collegiate level....How long will Wilson last in the NFL.
I'm with you Big.I don't think he's a Starter.Plays against INFERIOR competition!!I cant wait to see him against a NFL Defense.Coastal Carolina's Dee had him shook!!
Man let me understand this. Fields bet your number 1 but he cannot be in the top QB's right? Glad I'm not an owner.
@Chris Lane really excellnt statement. Why is he rated so low? He is a good QB and will be so in the NFL.
Jones beat Fields. Does that make Jones #1?
Hope the Bears can grab him somehow.
Why u sleepin on fields
That was the most meaningless silly analysis I've ever heard. No team is going to worry about this nonsense.
Reminds me of josh Allen
They would be better off with DeShawn. Lawrence is bi.
I’m not putting anything out Urban Meyer. I could see him wanting Fields or Wilson over Lawrence.
zack wilson this kid is a special talent for me i would NOT PASS HIM UP.
@ArmandAce and at this point anything is better than darnold!
@JetLife 45 be careful what u wish for he has big bust potential fields will be better
@Tavian Thomas Watson is really good but right now he is more Stafford and less Mahomes.
GTFOH
@Joe Cook nah, Ohio State QB’s never pan out in the NFL. That’s why Joe Burrow transferred to LSU lol
If the Jets go option 3 then then i am out
This will be great To watch how bad theses picks going turn out when will NFL excs Learn drafting QBs high never pans out
@Captain ramius but baker wasn't worth a number 1 pick the best QB is Jackson From that draft and he was drafted 31
Josh Allen looks good. Mayfield isnt puting up crazy numbers but hes a good leader and led his team to the playoffs
@David M every year these analysis and scouts get it wrong like I said we'll see in the next coming years
Why so negative. Give these young men a chance.
Mitch Trubisky all over again.
NYJ and ATL have a huge trade swapping QBs Darnold and Ryan, NYJ give up two first round picks and Sam Darnold for Matty Ice. Then they sign Trent Williams to block Ryan's blindside and sign WR Juju Smith-Schuster and RB Mark Ingram in free agency.
How many great Ohio State or Alabama quarterbacks have there been? Field and Jones are both overrated thanks to all the skill around them.
WRONG!! Mac Jones will go either 1 or 2. and if he doesn't then these NFL "scouts" absolutely suck!
New York Jets get Wilson. Watson trade is not happening. Jets not trading down (Jets have to ask themselves when are they going to have a pick this high again).
the jets will have a top 10 pick the next 2 yrs..... salah is not a magician, ur team sucks it will take some time to fill all the holes on that team
Next year?
Ryan leaf slander will not be tolerated
Garbage bag!
HOW IS DAN OLOVSKY AN EXPERT ON, LEAST OF WHICH, THE QUARTERBACK POSITION FOLLOWED CLOSELY BY ALL OF THE REST OF THE POSITIONS....
@Chris Campese I guess....the pride of UCONN, he was a backup for THE LIONS....that disqualifies him
He played QB in the NFL. Albeit not that well, but that alone makes him qualified to speak on it.
Keep over looking Justin Fields.....a generational talent
ewers will be the same exact talent as him if not better tho.. so idk ab generational talent part but he’s not a scrub
I’m with u on this my guy✊🏽let them keep sleeping
Generational 🥴idk
😂😂😂😂
nahhhh bru😂😂
Maybe wilson is the number 2 pick but there is zero chance a media guy knows this on feburary 2nd lol
@niles t the media is wrong like 95% of the time dude, mel kiper usually goes 2 out of 32
Nah it’s becoming very clear who the NFL thinks is going #2
The ashamed step-sister ontogenically expect because apartment especially employ absent a spiky oak. abundant, descriptive process
There's one of these QBs every year he gonna be a bust
The BYU "quarterback factory" keeps churning out NFL starting QBs....
@Brian Gregg I got you, just saying Steve Young by himself is better than any OSU QB. I really hope Jets don’t take Fields.
@therush420 I was being sarcastic
@Brian Gregg BYU’s greatest example is Steve Young. I looked at all of OSU’s QBs and none of them made it in the pros.
@terrell ivey Wait till you see BYU's next 4 * QB coming down the Pipeline Jacob Conover to step in Zach Wilson's vacated position... turned down an offer from Alabama to be the next QB in line at BYU's unmatched QB tradition.
Ohio State has a similar success rate
Man, what a fall from grace for Greeny, he literally doesn’t know a thing about football and it’s so sad. I like Fields, but think about how good Wilson would be playing in that offense. Attributes is quite literally how you identify a franchise QB’s, guys with the attributes Wilson has are all studs.
@Scott Losey yeah it’s absurd how awful he is now
He was dumb when he had Golic to keep him in check....not that Golic is gone, unlistenable
Why would the Jets take him? Or are you forecasting Jets trade #2 pick for QB?
49ers plz trade up
WOW... Dan Orlovsky and others have no idea what they're talking about lol!!! Yes, Zach Wilson has some potential and it appears that w the right coach/system he has the potential to be a good professional QB. However there is absolutely nothing definitive about Zach Wilson's play (or collegiate career in general) that heavily projects his NFL draft stock above guys like Justin Fields and other talented QBs in this class... On film I see Wilson going thru his progressions for 15-20 seconds...that's right absolutely no pass rush, never hurried and successfully completes his passes to W I D E - O P E N WRs! Additionally, I hear none of his fanboys questioning the strength of his opponents. The level of completion Zach faced throughout his collegiate career was subpar at best so to me all the hype is baseless. So again, yes he's going to get drafted to play at the next level where he will get a chance to develop into a good NFL QB. However please stop w the nonsense that Zach Wilson is somehow elite, makes "excellent decisions" and "possesses rare skills" that definitively project his draft stock above all others. The claim is baseless
@Brian high IQ 😆 🤣 OMG! We'll see next season.. but again he won't have 15 seconds to go through progressions and his WRs will be covered 😉
His football IQ is significantly higher from reports I’ve seen. Basically asking him what he sees and how he processes every snap before the play and during the play. This is a unique trait that most kids don’t have coming out of college
@Peter Lochridge no problem Zach!
ZZZ....... thanks for the boring bed time story it took me two sentences to fall asleep.
If you think Wilson is going number 2 you're doing coke.
It’s either gonna be fields or wilson, I don’t see any other choice unless it’s a receiver or lineman
@Jarett44 LMAO
It’s a lock
I think it’s going to be fields. But I’m still doing Coke
Alright watch it happen then
I think the 49ers will get Justin Fields at 12 if he is still there
The niners getting fields is possible but that’s only if they trade up I want him there so bad imagine what it would be like that team would be a real dynasty
@Nick Gwyn who would you take at 12 Nick?
@Jordan Alexander i agree they should i know i said Justin Fields but i don't think he will be there at 12
I see niners taking trey lance
I meaaaaannnn it’s a QB league, I don’t see those many spots not being traded in especially with how good this QB Class is.
Everyone is forgetting that zach Wilson has one year of outstanding play and fields didn’t end up top 4 in the heisman last year
Did Wilson end up in the top 4 of heisman
I'm not sold on dude, who did he play, FOH! I WANT JUSTIN FIELDS IN ATLANTA, PERIOD!
@polo hoodie But honestly, the take that gave you away as someone who absolutely doesn't understand football is when you said you'd take Trask over Wilson lmaoooo. YIKES
@Justin G I would take Trevor Lawrence first I didn’t think I needed to say that so what are you talking about? My logic is very solid lol, you don’t need to say what’s understood. And CCU doesn’t not get the same type of recruits stop lying to yourself to make Zach Wilson look better than he is. He not better than Lawrence. He’s not better than fields, he’s not better than Mac Jones, didn’t think I’d have to spell it all out for you are you slow?
@Justin G He also out dualed Trevor too, something Zach couldn't do
@Justin G Yep
@polo hoodie solid logic. I say the jags take Mac Jones number 1 overall then since he’s literally the only team in the country that didn’t lose a game this season. That’s pretty dumb. BYUs recruiting classes are about the same as CCUs in terms of talent. So Justin should have found a way to win against bama right? They both have top recruiting classes every year? And Trevor Lawrence isn’t that good because they lost to OSU?
Screw Wilson we want Fields!!
Field’s isn’t good Ohio state bandwagon
Yes, please take fields so Zach can go to a ream that won’t ruin his career
All BYU fans want the jets to take fields cause the jets are so terrible
Another Trubisky on deck
its funny how everyone says Fields won't be good because OSU never had a QB do well. Ok? Oregon never had a QB until Justin Herbert & at some point Michigan didnt have one either until Brady so there's a first time for everything. No school has consistently put out QBs that do well in the NFL and thats because it's not about the school, its about the player. By that logic Michigan should have a QBs doing what Brady, Tennessee should have QBs after Peyton Manning, Wisconsin should have QBs after Russel Wilson. Texas Tech should have another Mahomes..but they dont
Exactly!!!
@Joshua Mitchell i see more mcnabb than wilson but i agree he will be great
@Sharrybay Thompson lol you just don’t get it do you ? I’m not gonna waste my time you’re right .
@2legit77 yeah cause Lawrence and Field's stats definitely mean nothing. By your logic back up QBs should get drafted too since they have no stats.
@Sharrybay Thompson stats smats, they mean absolutely nothing bro . They are the lazy mans way of evaluating qbs .
You gotta watch Zach Wilson film before you hate on him. He throws an extremely accurate deep ball and is a great kid. But at the same time, I’d still take Justin Fields before Wilson.
Me too and he look average against CCU
Greeny seems to sound dumber and dumber the longer hes away from the Mike that actually knows about football.
100p. He’s a joke, and kind of a puss.
This is a fact. Greeny is a JOKE
Zach Wilson maybe needs to go to Indy. He shouldn't be going to a struggling Team like the Jets. (Cowboys should trade-up for him and dump Dak. Cowboys can survive with Zach and Andy Dalton. )
Cowboys have way more problems than QB. Also none of the moves the cowboys have been making would make any sense for them to let Dak go.
Man BYU and Zach wilson are so overrated its stupid. Like i literally cant understand why they think this dude is better than fields lawrence and all these insane talented players its beyond stupid. I dont even understand how this is debateable
@Sharrybay Thompson Coastal was ranked dude not sure what you mean by "no name coastal carolina" they were one of the best teams this year
@Brian yeah but my point is what school you played at doesnt necessarily mean you'll be good or bad so that shouldn't be a determining factor in the draft for player evaluation
@Sharrybay Thompson And yet the comment I responded to stated that BYU was overrated. In the context of the discussion BYU is not overrated as they have had significantly more success, which can be an indicator in draft projection (not for the overall player evaluation, but for the draft projection).
@Brian that doesnt mean anything because it's about the players not the school. By your logic Michigan should've made multiple QB's like Tom Brady, Tennessee should have more QBs like Peyton Manning, Texas Tech should have another Mahomes...I can keep going.
I mean historically BYU has had WAY MORE good NFL QBs than Ohio State.... like it’s not even close - Marc Wilson - Jim McMahon - Steve Young - Ty Demter - Gifford Nielsen - Taysom Hill
“Mixed bag” lmfaooooo got Greeny so fucked up 😭😭😭
super bowl
zach Wilson love
It's not easy to rate these QBs. They are so close together. This year it's going to be about the same as it is every year. You have one or two guys who will make it....one or two guys who will fall on their face and the rest will just fill out a roster. Me personally I like Lawrence and Jones to make it. I think Wilson has a chance but he is definitely a project...kinda like Josh Allen.......Sadly I don't see it for Fields.....He'll try run when he gets in trouble and will get killed
@Brian Denver? Laughing...Noticed the parade of QBs there over the last 10 years....Also QB coach is Shula....Not exactly who I'd want to develop my skills
Zach needs to go to Denver or San Francisco to get the right development
@Arthur Melander You're accusing that individual of going off of emotions and not facts but you make a statement suggesting that wilson "has greater accuracy that fields" which is simply not true, if you did the slightest bit of research you would know that fields is the most accurate qb in the draft beating out also the "generation talent" Lawrence
@Arthur Melander who did Zac wilson play since you know everything
@Clarencethegoat Croom This is what you get when you go off emotions instead of facts. It is easy to see that Zach Wilson is better developed and has greater accuracy than Fields. What are you? Obviously a fan of OSU or the big schools based on emotion.
Nope Greeny is an idiot. Then again the Jets org are run by idiots but finally the coach is not an idiot. We'll see. Draft play makers don't push reset button on QB and have another 2018 and 2019 and 2020 🙄
It better not be
Fields to the Falcons!
I just feel like if we are actually seriously looking at fields or Wilson for the #4 pick. We should see if the Texans want it for deshaun watson. (Obv gonna take more than that but still inquire)
@Fred Wright And Justin gonna give y’all fits
Don’t forget the jets have that pick I think they gonna pick him
As a Saints fan...yes indeed
You get Zach Wilson when you order Justin Herbert off wish
I honestly think that Wilson is going to be all the hype going into the 2021 season and either not play or play like Dwayne Haskins. It hurts saying that because I am a MASSIVE OSU fan.
@Elbert Robles very well said. Box score only tells a portion of the story. The advanced metrics show just how good Zach is. Can’t even really make the argument that his competition was horrible given that his receivers were still locked down most of the time. Hence the most completions into tight windows. He’ll be special
Wilson makes NFL throws that very few QB prospects have been able to make in the past 15 years. The guys that usually don't plan out don't because their college stats were inflated from poor competition. Wide open receivers tend to hide a lot of problems from tight coverages or pressure blitzes that you get in the NFL. That's not the case with Wilson. Look at his film, most of his amazing throws were thrown into tight windows. Not to mention his arm strength. Not only does he have amazing accuracy 30+ yards but he throws bombs that make it even more difficult for a CB to deflect. In the NFL, most Quarterbacks only make sideline throws less than 25 yards out because of arm strength. Obviously the farther you throw, the easier it will be for the CB to recover. When you add an all pro CB to the mix, QB's tend to stay away from those throws all together. Wilson will be a rare exception to that rule. Only Rodgers and Mahomes have the accuracy and arm strength to make those 25+ yards sideline throws on the consistent basis. Wilson will be another added to that mix once he gets to the NFL because of his arm talent. Lastly look at his across the body throw that went for 60 yards. You can't teach that, you either have it or you don't.
Curious what evidence points you to that conclusion?
@CADE WENDZICKI your right. like i don't get it my self.
same here but tbh he will not go to the jets these mock drafts are dumb
