Zach Wilson, QB, BYU
Post Combine
If you pinned me down and forced me to pick between Trevor Lawrence and Zach Wilson, I might pick Wilson. It's that close for me. Honestly, I'm surprised the Jaguars' new head coach didn't show up at BYU's pro day.

Don't count Zach Wilson out on any play. Dynamic, innovative and fearless, Wilson's playmaking skills at QB make him one of the most unique players in this year's draft. 🎥 breakdown of some of the skills that make him special. https://t.co/NPwI4SlXL7

Zach Wilson games are weird to watch. Feels like I’m just watching a highlight tape of different types of throws but all of these plays are happening in a row. Hard to get a real feel for the actual scheme. It’s almost like a pro day with 21 other people out there.

The highest grade we’ve ever given to a QB in a single season. pic.twitter.com/zDDhM10hPw
Big day today for #BYU QB Zach Wilson. Why was he able to take the next step in his development? It wasn’t his lasso-like arm or creative off-platform throws.

It was simply understanding the difference between ball placement and accuracy. pic.twitter.com/rztvx0X9Ey

I find myself more skeptical of BYU QB Zach Wilson than most, but he's still a pretty good prospect. Top-10 pick in any class, even one as loaded as 2021. Just please stop pretending Wilson is a better prospect than Trevor Lawrence. https://t.co/hfOD37HANO

Zach Wilson has the highest peak power we’ve ever tested on the 1080 with a load equal to 50% of his velocity (2325 watts). Second is Tyrell Williams. Third, John Ross. One of the most explosive guys I’ve ever coached. pic.twitter.com/5fCEpWetHq

Zach Wilson throwing a football looks like Cal Ripken Jr on the move casually throwing 90mph bullets to first base circa 1988. It's pretty to watch.

I’ve said for a while, the most underrated aspect of Zach Wilson’s game is his ability to scramble. This should be a safety. Instead, it’s a massive gain. pic.twitter.com/3jWwBP2pt0
— Jarrett Bailey (@JBaileyNFL) February 17, 2021
Would prefer Wilson get his front foot a bit wider and back foot closer to his midpoint; allows for a smoother rotation. Hip comes all the way around and locks before his throwing motion finishes, makes for an awkward/disconnected release. (This did not get picked off tho) pic.twitter.com/uYqvqwjFCY

One thing you can't deny about Wilson: he puts some of these deep throws through a keyhole. pic.twitter.com/LFBIuTcsnh

To @nyjets fans. Anything you hear about Zach Wilson talent-trait wise....you hear about Sam Darnold.
— Dan Orlovsky (@danorlovsky7) February 22, 2021
The only reason to draft Wilson and move on from Sam is to completely re-set the financial timetable at QB.
Darnold is a more talented player skill wise
I haven't been bowled over by Zach Wilson but I'm beginning to appreciate a little more of what he brings to the table.

This is nice command of the field, maneuvering the pocket, and creating.
While this throw may not work every time, the placement is good. pic.twitter.com/oOvk66eJ1Z
