Picking #1 overall in the NFL Draft, a great spot to be in – but with great power comes great responsibility – just ask spiderman…
the Jags have what is being pegged as a tough decision to make, and whether that’s just for us to fill time, or because these teams spend so much time analyzing the prospects that they actually start convincing themselves that a sure thing is not the surest thing…
The latest draft related topic to make the rounds is that maybe Zach Wilson is the best QB prospect in this year’s draft.
He’s explosive, he’s flashy, he’s everything you want in a new-age NFL QB. But folks…he’s not a sure thing. You don’t pass on sure things in draft situations.
Where people will get lulled into this false sense of security if they take the side of Zach Wilson is that his upside might be higher…and it might…remember, Pat Mahomes wasn’t a #1 overall pick, neither was Dan Marino, neither way Aaron Rodgers…but your not drafting Trevor Lawrence because of upside, your drafting him for “now-side”. Fact is, very few QB’s come out of college as complete packages with all the tools at their disposal. Lawrence is that dude. There are singular things that other prospects do better than Trevor, but there’s nothing he doesn’t do well. That’s remarkable when you consider the variables at the QB position.
So don’t screw it up Jacksonville, Trevor is the guy.
