Frickin Saleh and LaFleur gonna snag Zach Wilson when everyone expects them to take Justin Fields!!! Damn.
Reminds me of Bill Walsh trying to convince Sam Wyche to trade with the 49ers. He wanted Rice and was like, "he fits out offense" to which Wyche responds, "well we run the same offense."

Big risk to not take Fields at #2 for Saleh with Jets fans already missing on Lawrence.
If fanbase is super high on Fields, not taking him and him becoming a star qb would leave a bad taste.
Don't see him trading back to 12 for sure...maybe a few spots and def within top 10 as that would garner lots of extra picks on its own and still get am elite positional player.
If only we had lost to the damn Rams....prob picking 8th or 9th and in better position for a Jets trade
If Saleh shows improvement, produces a quality win or two (for example, us upsetting Jacksonville in 2017 was a quality win), and just trends in the right direction, it won't matter. Saleh is also used to having elite talent to run that wide 9. He had 3 first rounds picks in his first year as DC on the D-line and by 2019, he had a total of 5 (Bosa, Ford, AA, Buckner, Thomas). If he wants to see anything like that, that team will need to invest in the D-line. Fortunately, they already have Williams, but will have to add to the edges.

I'm close to being all in on Zach Wilson. I think if he is there at 3 or 4 we need to move up and get him. From watching BYU they run so many plays similar to our offense and I think he would step in and start immediately and be effective, similar to a Justin Herbert type season.
I can't be. There's a lot to like, but truth be told, there's a lot to like with top QB prospects every year. For proof, go check out the Rosen thread the year leading up to the 2018 draft. Look at the D'Arnold thread. If Wilson slides past 6, I'd consider it.
