Eric Edholm's Commentary
Surprising this heavily speculated pick hasn’t received a bit more security to this point. Wilson has a tremendous arm, matched only by his confidence. He could be a really nice fit in the Shanahan-steeped system of Mike LaFleur, but Wilson could get in trouble with his fast-and-loose style early. He’ll be compared to the QBs who go after him — namely Justin Fields — for the next several years.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
The feeling all draft season was that the Jets would draft a QB at No. 2 and either an edge rusher or a blocker with their second first-rounder. They went with the former/latter, trading up from No. 23 to make sure they got their man. Vera-Tucker has experience at both guard and tackle, and he’ll be joining a line that has promising left tackle Mekhi Becton. GM Joe Douglas likely wants to recreate what Zach Wilson had at BYU last season: great pass protection that allowed him to create

Eric Edholm's Commentary
Zach Wilson gets more help. Some thought Moore could land in Round 1, but he slips to this spot and should be an electric weapon from the slot. Moore’s slim build and limited college route tree were strikes against him, but his big-play juice should help wake up a once-dormant offense.
