Lots of reports about Jets being dialed in on Wilson, could be an open secret among other teams. If so this indicates the 9ers are targeting Fields or Lance.
The Jets may keep Sam and have him start 2021 and let the drafted QB learn on bench. will need a veteran backup both both guys.
I think this is the result of teams knowing the Jets are taking Wilson. San Fran probably knows Douglas is sold on Wilson and they jumped up to grab Fields.
It means they are happy with either or like Mac was. I don’t agree with this approach when it comes to QBs.
I don't think Lance is in the conversation. If they pass on Fields, it would have to be Mac. Btw, this shows the value of a high pick in this draft, precisely because of good QB class. 3 first rounders, including #12, and a 3d for #3 overall. That is a haul. And that's just to get a QB that will be left over after us.
I've gotta think the 9ers tried to trade for our pick before targeting #3. This basically confirms we're taking a QB and are not trading the pick. The only question is which one.
Douglas may have another suitor involved that can keep him from dropping all the way to 12. Atlanta/Carolina/Denver.
No way the Jets weren’t contacted about this deal. They’re not going to trade down unless someone offers more (how can they than 3 #1sts?). They’re going QB 100%.
Jets QB talk is officially OVER. No way Joe Douglas turns down that deal if he is even 1% sold on Darnold.
Its amateur to not have the guy you want and to take the leftovers. Add to that they are spending the #3 pick, plus two more firsts and a third on the scrap. That is just reeks of desperation. At least they already have a solid roster to take this risk. In the meantime the trade down king Dolphins are going to continue to keep building a scary team and if Tua busts they are covered. Wilson could turn out to be Mahomes and it will still be years before we catch the dolphins.
There were rumblings the Falcons really liked Fields. This could be the 9ers targeting him by jumping just ahead of the Falcons.
NFL Network speculating it was for Lance to sit behind Garoppolo for a year before playing. I don't really see that. I hope LaFlaeur or one of these old 9er coaches aren't blabber mouths and let it out who we're eyeing.
