John Wolford wasn’t great in his first career game ... but at least he wasn’t a “Deshaun Watson” out there. He didn’t pull a “Russell Wilson” against the Cardinals.
Wolford practically broke the Jimmy Johnson trade value chart in 2018 because he was too valuable to be valued as a “draft pick.” If the number one pick in the draft is worth “3000 points,” like Survivor’s mediocre Jimmy Johnson believes, then how could a team have used a pick on a player worth hundreds, if not tens, of fractions?
After topping all of Tim Duncan’s passing records at Wake Forest, Wolford bypassed the draft and went directly towards signing a contract with the Jets; his release was the first in a set of complicated chess moves by the New York organization to one day land Penei Sewell as the anchor of their right guard spot for up to two-and-a-half full years.
