You shouldn’t make a move for either of them unless you believe you’re that one player away from contending and those two teams are not that IMO.
If I was a betting man I’d say SF or Carolina were your likeliest Watson destination IF the Texans back down from their no trade stance. No clue on Wilson

But we just watched five QBs taken in the first two picks get booted from their original team within five years. Zach Wilson might be the Mormon Mahomes or he might be the Mormon Bortles, it's a risk. We know what Deshaun and Russ are. Rookie contract value is nice, but a proven elite QB is still the greatest asset in the league and the Jets have a massive amount of cap space to push heavy dollars into the first couple of years of an extension, and then have the back end of it be cheap on the cap. Even though they are still the Jets, they've set themselves up well for the moment.
