Ten days remain until the 2021 NFL Draft begins, and the Jacksonville Jaguars are expected to get things rolling by selecting Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence with the No. 1 pick overall.
That will put the New York Jets on the clock at No. 2, and all indications are BYU QB Zach Wilson will be the pick.
His QB coach, John Beck, talked to NBC Sports NFL insider Peter King about the impending marriage between Wilson and the Jets.
“I think it’s a perfect fit. ... If I could have hand-picked from the offenses I know well, which one would have fit Zach best, it would absolutely be that one. He brings such a skill set to get out on the edges, to be used in the keeper game, the play-pass game, he can drive balls in very small space off unique platforms as he’s moving. From my understanding, the interviews are going really well with teams. The Jets are getting to know Zach as best as they possibly can, outside of being able to do a private workout. ... He’s been to New York, as like a tourist. There will be a culture shock, being so far from home. He’s a family kid, grew up in Draper, Utah, went to BYU, very tight with his siblings and his parents, first time he’s away, but it’s a great life experience. He’ll be good with it.”
At this point, anything but Wilson to the Jets at No. 2 would qualify has a huge shocker, especially since general manager Joe Douglas cleared the deck by trading Sam Darnold to the Carolina Panthers.
