The question of who will be the next Jet quarterback has been answered by Steve Young.
The Jets are rumored to be linked to one of the top quarterbacks in the 2021 NFL Draft, as they entertain trade offers for 2018 first-round pick Sam Darnold.
Speaking on San Francisco radio station KNBR, Young, an ESPN NFL analyst and former BYU and 49ers quarterback, said that while the BYU product Zach Wilson is the 49ers No. 1 target in the 2021 NFL Draft, the team with the No. 2 overall pick informally selected Wilson. . He will be the Jets.
“There’s no question in my mind, if they (49ers) can figure out how to get Zach, it’s their No. 1 first choice,” Young said. “I don’t know how they accomplish it. The Jets have committed to Zach and recruited the family. I don’t know how it comes undone, but you know, look, a lot can happen . “

Young said Wilson would prefer to be a 49er, but given the 2021 NFL draft order – the Jaguars, Jets and 49ers have picked up numbers 1, 2 and 3 respectively – Wilson takes almost a lock to move to the Jets at No . 2, overall, if Young’s information is accurate.
“I think Zach would like it, the family would like it (with Wilson joining the 49ers), nothing would please anyone,” Young said. “I think the 49ers, this is their unstoppable first choice, so it would be amazing. If it can happen, they will find out.”

The problem with “finding something out” is that the 49ers will still have to jump up one spot in the Jets’ No. 2 slot if the Jets can somehow convince Wilson to move and Ohio State’s Justin Fields, of North Dakota Can choose for State’s Trey Lance or Alabama’s Mack Jones at No. 3. In other words: don’t hold your breath, 49th fan.
Recent rumors suggest that Jones at 49 may zero in on Fields and Lance with the third pick.
Young again confirmed that after speaking with the coaches of the Jets, the team is committed to Wilson at No. 2 overall.
So it seems as if a big mystery has been solved in the 2021 NFL Draft.
