Not quite to Lawrence’s level, but the momentum has been steadily growing for weeks toward Wilson becoming the QB of the present and future for the New York Jets. GM Joe Douglas has done nothing to dispel the notion that Wilson is the pick and trading Sam Darnoldto Carolina was another arrow pointing in this direction. Wilson owned the marquee performance of Pro Day SZN, with a workout that showcased the immense play-making ability he put on tape at BYU.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. As the 2021 NFL Draft approaches, the Broncos objective at the quarterback position has not changed.
With a week to go until the opening round, General Manager George Paton reemphasized on Thursday the team s desire to add competition to the quarterback room. Yet while Paton understands that the team s fan base continues to wonder when and how that competition will arrive, he will continue to employ a measured approach. I understand it, Paton said of the questions from the fan base about the quarterback position. We do like Drew Lock. What we don t want to do is force it [and] overpay a guy to come in and maybe he s not as good as the guy we have. And maybe he s not good enough to compete. We want to get the right guy, and we still have time.
