OT: Denver Trades for Jets’ Wilson

[mgteich]

The top 3 guys ALL have the talent to be a top 5 QB. So you can't pass on him even if you know for a FACT that you have at least a 50-50 chance you are going to be disappointed. The reward for getting it right is just too high to pass it up

Agreed

Report: Jets trading QB Zach Wilson to Broncos

Wilson's starting over in Denver.

If Payton thinks he can fix him, he may be more arrogant than we thought…although the risk is certainly low.

Trading a 6th for a backup/project QB doesn't mean that DEN isn't desperate for a QB. They are, and trading for Wilson shows that.

If they draft a QB and Wilson also improves a lot, DEN can then trade Wilson (or Stidham).

Amazing new uniforms for the Broncos. Looks like they must have consulted the Patriots to get them just right..

 

[jimnance]

Disagree! Every draft pick is a risk. All of them from 1-250. BUT the necessity of having a quality QB to compete for championships you HAVE to take that risk and hope the guy you pick develops into the guy you hope he is

I've been wavering back and forth on this as I've always been a believer in taking BPA.
But I think I agree.
Even though MHJ is a guaranteed great pick, if Maye or Daniels hits their ceiling, that is way more valuable than MHJ, even if he becomes the GOAT wr.
That's probably too valuable to pass up, even though it carries a little more risk

Having a great LT doesn't matter much if the guy behind him is not very good.

Wrong. Look at the Jets. Two QB’s taken at the top of the first round within five years of each other. Sucky OL.

How’d that work out?

Putting a good QB behind a sucky OL is a bad idea.

The point is, you can't do that till you have a good QB, and it's more important to find the good QB than the good LT.

It seems especially important when you feel there are potential franchise-level QBs in this draft but not in the next one.

Unfortunately for da Jete but fortunately for us, they haven't hit on QB with their last three major swings (Dirty Sanchez, Darnit, McMilfson).

That doesn't mean it's the wrong thing to do.

Signing a 40 year old Ahole with a deep injury history then giving him a $112M contract with $75M guaranteed then putting him behind a sucky OL is IMO not the right thing to do.

Jets are taking an OT 1st round so problem fixed.

Last time they did that, it didn't end well for them.

This is da Jete we're talking about...

Bye Bye Becton? Former New York Jets' First Round Tackle Garners Little Interest

The New York Jets re-signed a handful of free agents this offseason, but starting offensive tackle Mekhi Becton was not one of them. The former No. 11 overall draft pick is still available.

If we draft JJ McCarthy #3, I am going to miss Mack Jones & wish we traded for Zach Wilson

 

[captain stone]

I didn't know that you were a Dorchester native, Captain. I grew up in the Franklin Field projects and later taught for 9 years at the OW Holmes jhs which was 1 JHS north of the Wilson.

I started teaching there in 1969 so maybe our paths crossed at some point.

Oh yeah I grew-up as a single-digit midget a couple of blocks off Columbia Road west of Uphams Corner until we moved a couple of miles down Adams Street in 1970 as soon as the school year ended at the Mather, which was/is located on Meeting House Hill just off Bowdoin Street near the eastern, Kane Square end... My dad's Gaelic football/hurling team practiced at Franklin field (though they played their games at Dilboy Stadium in Somerville) and my brother & I & usually a friend or two would go with him there and bring our balls/bats/gloves/football/Frisbee... Spent the 6th grade at an elementary school just 2 streets down from our new house, though I was tempted to ask my dad if he would drop me off at the Mather for a year on his way to work at the Sears distribution center in Southie...

Good to hear some Dorchester natives!!

And before the season ends, a Dorchestah resident once more...

And before the season ends, a Dorchestah resident once more...

The area now is so busy now. Condos everywhere, utter congestion with traffic, 3 families are a thing of the past just a memory now.
