He's done with the Jets. Its so damn risky taking QBs high that aren't Peyton Manning or Andrew Luck. Trubisky, Wilson, etc. just to name a few. And these guys get elevated by the media and fans to epic proportions before they ever do a damn thing. Zach is known more for banging MILFs than throwing TDs. OnlyFans career coming?

He needs to go somewhere and be a backup for a few seasons. Vikings would be a logical spot, since Mullens is only signed through this season. But I suspect his trade value is still too high right now.

Yep. That's the only reason I wouldn't take a flyer on the guy. Too soon and NYJ will want something decent.

I thought he might demand too high of compensation and posted that a while back. 

But now I wonder what the Jets might take? Certainly worth 20 minutes of KAM's time to find out.

God, I think it's all over the map. It's just too early.

On one side, you have a 23 year old, toolsy, mobile gunslinger, former #2 overall pick who has really only had one season to show himself. And not on an especially good offense either. He's exactly the kind of QB who needs time. That argues 2nd round.

On the other, you have a QB whose team has given up, amid rumors of his character, immaturity. Teams do not give up on QBs like this unless they know--not think, not suspect, but KNOW--he'll never make it. That argues 5th round. 

So...somewhere in between?

Wish I had a crystal ball...

With the right surround is this guy the next Favre? Ryan Leaf? Rich Gannon?

KOC would be the guy I'd want coaching him up.

I'm sure Wilson would love to come to Minny.  OConnell's wife is hot

I was thinking conditional second rounder in 24 or 25 draft depending on when they move him.  If they wait until next August  or September,  then 25.  But conditional on him being active for half the games or something like that.

Even the Vikings won't be that stupid.

He's hot trash with no NFL future. An example of a guy like say, Laquon Treadwell. Way over drafted so he gets a short NFL career where people use his draft position, aka the outcome of a stupid choice, as a reason to keep paying to watch him fail.

Theres talent and ability there along with good athleticism,   just need the game to slow down and to grow up a bit.  He is exactly the type of guy that could really benefit from sitting a year or two,  but only if his ego can handle that role.

We don't need to give him a second shot. We have Josh Rosen on his 1,409th shot at realizing his potential.

That's the sauce that covers up the stench of every NFL bust...bon appetit!

Just not in purple for the love of God...

Someone is starting a MILF hunter reality show ( I'm not making this up).  If I was the producer it would be worth a phone call.

Just say no! Some of his problem is coaching. He didn't have a running game or great offense around him. He may become a serviceable dink and dunk QB with the right coach. But I've never seen a QB throw so many long passes without having the arm to get it there. He doesn't seem to have a grasp on his limitations. That adds up to a bad QB.
I think the way the players responded to White when he came in says a lot about how they feel about Wilson. Wilson needs a change of scenery. Just don't make it Minnesota.

Not impressed with him at all. They are much better with White. I really hope he never ends up with the Vikes.

To be fair….if he was impressive, he wouldn’t be available.
