There’s a lot of work to do for Zach at the next level but his talent is evident and his potential is exciting. He’s coming off a season where he threw for 3,694 yards and 32 touchdowns to 3 INT. He played in the outside zone system, he has off-platform ability that is unrivalled and he has the swagger and confidence to take New York by storm.
#14 Overall Pick - Alijah Vera-Tucker, USC, OG
Some people have questioned the Jets for moving up for the best interior lineman in the draft. Those people in my opinion are short-sighted. The Jets made an investment in Wilson and they needed to protect it. You collect picks to allow you to be aggressive when the move is right. Vera-Tucker should slot straight in a LG, last time he played that position for USC in 2019 he was dominant in the run game and he allowed 1 sack, 0 hits and 6 pressures in nearly 600 pass-blocking snaps. The same people questioning the Jets are the same people who questioned the Colts when they drafted Quenton Nelson 6th overall in 2018, go and ask the Colts if they regret drafting a 3x pro bowler and 3x All-Pro.
