Zach Wilson is officially the next Jets quarterback.

After the pick was announced and he received his green jersey, Wilson said joining the Jets was “exactly what I was hoping for.”

“We’re going to be a special team, baby,” he added. “We’re going for the Super Bowl.”

The Jets still have a long way to go before all that can be a possibility, but adding Wilson is the first step toward building a solid team in New York.

Gang Green now has its quarterback, a good collection of skill position players and a better defense than last year. How the team does in Wilson’s rookie year, however, will largely depend on how the rest of the draft pans out and how Robert Saleh and the rest of the coaching staff work with so many new pieces.
