In this mock, Fields is QB2 (as he always should have been) to San Francisco after the Jets take Micah Parsons @2. I'll never understand how Zach Wilson and Trey Lance were taken over Fields, but I'm glad they were!

People saw that one throw Wilson made at his pro day and some other highlights from BYU and bought the hype. It's crazy that Fields was able to beat a Clemson defense with broken ribs yet dropped so much. Happy he did obviously

If I'm honest I liked Wilson as a prospect... when we were picking at 20. Not at #2! Turns out even that would have been too high.

I think Wilson is talented too for sure, just needed a lot more time to develop than the Jets gave him. I agree 20 was probably the correct landing spot (if not very early 2nd) with a half decent roster and a bridge qb. It would have dependent on his attitude which im not too convinced on tbh
