Wilson was as safe of a pick as Mitch was.
Mitch was thought of as the most accurate QB coming out that could make all the throws from different arm angles and keeps his eyes down the field. Mitch played a bunch of bad defenses until he played Stanford which he looked bad.
Wilson was thought of as a nobody until this COVID season and then he was an electric player that can make the wow throws against a bunch of bad defenses with superior Oline blocking for him. I would be surprised if the jets win 3 games and Wilson has more TD then INTs.
Brain fart, responded to the wrong post and meant to respond to why fields didn't get any votes. Intent was that
Fields and Lawrence were the safest picks.
Wilson is a wild card that could turn out worst, best or anywhere in between.
That said, Wilson has the most arm talent in this draft so the Mitch compare isn't really accurate. Lance is closer to the Mitch situation. Not super accurate, lack of progressions and very few passes. He does seem more stout and intelligent.
