All the sexual misconduct allegations may lower the price but maybe the Jets have done their own research into Watsons character and are confident it will all blow over. I think Shanahan sees Wilson as the perfect combination of intelligence, athleticism and accuracy he's been looking for. The Jets will get the veteran signal caller they need for their locker room. The Texans get a bucketful of draft picks to rebuild with.

Wouldn't the Texans then just draft Wilson?

You didn't want to trade all the way down to 12 so we came up to 3.

Here is our 2021 2nd rounder and a 3rd next year. Give us #2 now.

Too much

So say this is spot on. Is this why they tried to trade to 5 and then up? Because they didn't need to trade up to 3 for Jones. But since they didn't have any takers in lower spots, they decided to make sure they got him no matter what. I can see this.

People definitely shouldn't write off Mac Jones. Fans and talking heads may be thinking Cousins or Dalton. Shanahan might be thinking "a young Matt Ryan."

It could be that they were convinced that Jones would be gone by 8 and they couldn't secure a trade up at 6, 5 or 4. We'll see. For now I think that Wilson, Fields, Lance and Jones are all in play at #3.

They obviously could have moved to 6 though. Shows that they didnt think their target would fall outside the top 5. Makes sense for Wilson or Fields, but I'm not sure it does for Jones. Especially with the Bengals obviously not taking a QB and being unlikely to trade out of the spot. You basically saying since our guy doesnt make it past 4, we have to move up.

I do think its interesting that despite his small frame, Wilson weighs in almost identically to Trevor Lawrence despite being three inches shorter.

Mel Kiper makes some honest points here we keep hearing.

Wilson has talent for sure, but don't tell me Fields doesn't either. This gonna be fun!

49ers and Jets swap 2 & 3. Jets trade #3 pick plus 2022 & 2023 1st rounders to Houston for Deshaun Watson. 49ers send Garappolo and or Fred Warner to Houston.

Can we stop proposing these ridiculous Watson trades? He's not going anywhere until his legal issues get settled. Nobody wants to trade for a guy who might not be able to play for a year or longer.
