They didn't, and we ended up with the top pick and a once-in-a-franchise opportunity to take the clear-cut, pro-readiest QB in years.

Wilson is a great consolation prize, but I see a lot of Josh Allen in the prospect - there's a step up in competition. All the measurables aren't there. There's a chance that the pick won't pan out. With a good team or good coaching, those can be overcome. But to take him over the guy that checks all those boxes already would be foolish.

First pick of the draft is better spent on the high floor rather than tossing the dice at the high ceiling.

Josh Allen is a much bigger man at 6-5, 238 with a cannon arm.
4.75 40 which is good for a giant. And an elite 6.90 three cone for a man of any size.
So there was alot of upside and the question mark was just level of competition.

Zac Wilson has below average size at 6-3 209 lbs.
And from the "eye test" doesn't look that fast or athletic when he scampers around.
So a ton of red flags along with level of competition.
