31. . Quarterback. New York Giants. Zach Wilson. 11. player

Everyone except New York seems to see Daniel Jones as a steadily depreciating asset in the Big Apple. He regressed mightily in 2020, and although his supporting cast wasn’t great, Jones himself failed to kick the turnover woes that plagued him in 2019. He also failed to put the team on his back and lead them to wins when they needed it most.

It’s very unlikely that the Giants do this in April, but it is fun to think about. What if New York chose to pass the torch earlier than expected? Were they to do so, I think Zach Wilson would be an upgrade, at a lesser cost than what it took to acquire Jones. Wilson has good athleticism and off-script ability, and his arm talent and elasticity pop off the screen.
