No question about it — the Jets must draft an offensive weapon at No. 23 overall

Obvious; anticipated; presumptive.

Yes, the adjectives to describe the Jets‘ pending selection of BYU quarterback Zach Wilson at No. 2 overall in the upcoming draft. Them eventually acquiring the young signal-caller has essentially been the narrative for quite some time — it was basically confirmed with the recent trade of Sam Darnold to the Panthers.

While many believe the 49ers could choose Alabama quarterback Mac Jones with the third overall pick, that pending selection isn’t as crystal clear as Gang Green’s is. The annual draft truly starts at No. 3; no one will be surprised by what the Jets do with their prestigious choice.
