I honestly love Wilson and have him virtually neck and neck with Lawrence. I think both guys are extremely talented and if we were at #2 and we were planning on drafting Wilson, I would be fine with it. With that said, New York is different. There is so much pressure associated with being a starting QB of the biggest city in the U.S. with arguably one of the most rabid fan bases. Can this kid from sleepy little Utah handle the pressure of the brutal sports media in New York? I believe Trevor could've, because he is so even keeled, but can Wilson? He has the talent, but does he have the mental makeup? Time will tell.

I think both QBs can be successful pros, but both will need more help than what their teams currently offer.  TL has more around him in Jacksonville than Wilson has with the Jets, but both need more support.

Independent of loyalties, I would be more concerned about Wilson's size and ability to endure the punishment of a 17 game schedule.

Regardless, the days before the draft is usually an exciting time for me as a football fan.  But being on the eve of drafting Trevor freaking Lawrence takes it up some notches.
