Who do you prefer? What are the reasons for your preference? Both are tremendous football players so lets try to remember that as we debate...go!
Earlier on it was Wilson over Burks and now after watching every snap from both I like Burks over Wilson. With Wilson he is incredibly fast, quick, runs all the routes, good size, built thick, good hands and is a premium athlete. I’d like to see a bit more toughness and he faced a lot of single coverage due to Chris Olave being on the other side. He also had good QB play along with excellent scheming from the Ohio st CS. He’s definitely the 2nd best WR in the draft and he reminds me a lot of OBJ on the field. Treylon Burks is an absolute stud. He’s is literally a bigger, stronger version of Deebo Samuel with Andre Johnson size and hands. He’s going to be a really good one. The combination of size, speed, hand/arm size, catching the football, YAC, physically imposing DBs, played very well vs Alabama, production even when doubled and a complete football player. He also was a 4 star recruit that had offers to Michigan and a few others but chose to stay home. That shows me a pedigree from a young age. My eyes tell me this kid is special and I have no problem taking him at 4. If KT is there at 4 and you think you can grab Burks at 10 it’s risky but if we could land both KT and Burks we are going to be a serious threat every week.
My preference is Wilson or London but I don't feel very strongly about them over Burks. More of a gun to my head who would I choose thing. I will say I don't like the Deebo comparisons for Burks. I think Deebo is a lot shiftier, more nimble, and quicker. Burks is quite a bit bigger than Deebo and I don't think it's reasonable to expect him to have the same contributions out of the backfield that Deebo has.
I agree that Burks is the better pick. Almost worth using the #4, and I wouldn't rule that out. The Jets need a big, strong, fast, WR who can punish DBs and catch contested balls. That he can also be used in different ways is icing on the cake. If the Jets use the #4 on an Edge or T and someone grabs Burks before #10, and JD can't trade the pick for a really good haul, then using it on Wilson would be a strong consideration although there are other needs to fill and it's a deep WR class so there's a good chance Wilson doesn't wind up in Green & White.
From what I've seen - admittedly not a lot - London looks like a better fit given how big and tough he is, whish is something the Jets are lacking in the WR group.
