NFL Draft Rumors: Zach Wilson Viewed as Favorite for No. 2 Pick by Some Insiders

Questions have been raised about the future of Sam Darnold with the New York Jets, and some NFL insiders think the team could plan to draft his replacement even if consensus top pick Trevor Lawrence heads to Jacksonville at No. 1.

In a mock draft by Dane Brugler of The Athletic, he tabs the Jets as the team that will sign BYU quarterback Zach Wilson.

"Wilson’s accuracy and off-platform playmaking skills are why several around the league think he is the favorite at No. 2," Brugler wrote.

Behind Lawrence, the other immediately useful option at quarterback is Ohio State's Justin Fields.
