1st Team All-Pro
Fins in a good spot.
Regardless of what the Jets do, there really are 3 top QBs in this draft.... like the WR group, there is a drop-off after #3 (Wilson).
The Combine will boost the QB stock as it does every year. Teams will fall in love with a QB.
In the 2020 draft, Detroit desperately wanted us to trade up a spot. We held firm and they blinked. We did have leverage then since either Tua or Herbert would be there at #5. Logical that we wanted Tua, but would have been fine with Herbert.
In 2021, things are a bit different. Falcons are really poised to (likely) take Wilson at #4. Now, Detroit/Carolina/Denver (7/8/9) > One of these teams are likely in on Wilson and will make the call. If you don't, you are now in the Trey Lance/ Mac Jones/ Kye Trask lottery. Not the best place to be.
My best guess is that the calls will be made, but without desperation. We aren't going to fleece anyone here. It may possibly look like this -
1. Slide down one spot (3 to 4) to Atlanta's pick > Price = Atlanta 2nd round pick #36
2. Detroit or Carolina or Denver trade. Slide from #3 to #7 or #8 or #9 > Price = 2022 1st rounder
We will get the calls, but there will be no blockbuster. Teams are getting smarter & Those prices (above) are fair
