There will be 729 days between the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft and the 2021 version, when the Jets took Zach Wilson with the No. 2 overall pick. We mention that because it sure feels like the Jets could again be in the franchise quarterback business. In part because Wilson has struggled, even when you compare him to other QBs from his draft class, but also because -- fair or not -- there's very little room for patience in today's NFL. And it's that last point that could inform the organization's decision in the coming months. In fact, we put this very question to former Vikings general manager Rick Spielman, who crushes it every week on the With the First Pick draft podcast, and here's what he said when it comes drafting QBs in the first round: The rule was, you always give them three years. And especially at the quarterback position, you may want to give them four. But you want to see if they're trending in the right direction. If they continue to make the same mistakes -- and no matter how hard you coach them or how much time you spent [working with them] and they still don't get it, eventually you have to say, 'OK, we're hitting our head against a brick wall here, it's time to move on.'
