On what planet does Trevor Lawrence not go #1?

[Ninerholic]

Haskins to Chicago for the 21st pick is extremely laughable 

[FalconFan13]

I'll take Trevor Lawrence on the Falcons at pick 4 thank you very much and if Lawrence goes before 4 which is almost a lock at this point.  I'll take Micah Parsons at 4 who is probably the 2nd or 3rd best prospect in this draft and the #1 defensive prospect.  But if Lawrence is available to the Falcons it would be crazy for us not to take him.

T Law was taken after top 5?

 

 

 

Since Jets got 2 offensive playmakers in 1st I can't complain.

 

[MOSteelers56]

I probably wouldn't make that trade for Darnold. I think Ben has a couple more years in him. 

[Tetsujin]

Miami has Houston's first rounder. I'd rather have Parsons/Wilson & Waddle than that trade.

I realize the Vikings are going to lose Anthony Harris this off season and there have been rumors of Harrison Smith being traded but Trey Lance or Wyatt Davis would be way better selections for the Vikings. 

[Bobby816]

Few things. How does Lawrence not go 1. The Jets have SEA pick in Round 1. And I dont think the Jets are getting a 1st for Darnold.

or #2. Even if Fields somehow beat him out for the #1 QB spot, there isn't a chance that he doesn't go #2 overall in a massive trade down.

I come from a pure place when I say this. The NFL pipeline for QBs has ruined perception. Stripping football fans of the right to observe that position through an unbias lens. They do tell you who to watch and observe through the lens they want you to look through to believe that this QB is the next big thing. Trevor Lawrence has been gifted the golden boy label since he came into the college football scene. They had him the #1 overall pick before he stepped onto a campus. Has he played well? Absolutely. But is it also him going to a school that is deep with talent and helps him do more without worrying about the pressure to exceed expectations. YUP!!!!! 

Trevor Lawrence gets praised for attributes that many black QBs share; yet never get the amount of praise like their white counterpart. Now, TO THOSE WHO WILL READ THIS AND IMMEDIATELY DISCREDIT MY POINT BECAUSE I BROUGHT UP RACE. THAT'S FAIR! BUT THERE IS TRUTH TO WHAT I SAID. (AND NO, IM NOT SAYING JUSTIN FIELDS IS BETTER BECAUSE HE IS BLACK!!)

The fact that Lawrence was prophesized as this phenom is apart of the reason.  I believe that because of his hype; the media has given this man the power to call the shots. It's the same thing they did back in 2004 with Eli Manning. Eli Manning was highly touted coming out of ole miss. Simply because of his brother being Peyton. So the media was obsessed with the idea of Eli Manning and Peyton Manning playing against each other. So Eli told the San Diego Chargers before the draft that he didn't want to be a charger. He didn't want to be in the same conference as his brother. ELI MANNING HAD THAT POWER BECAUSE OF HOW HE WAS PROPHESIZED AS THIS PHENOM WHO WAS BETTER THAN PEYTON. (YES! MOST REPORTS BACK THEN WERE THAT ELI WAS EVEN BETTER THAN PEYTON!!)

Trevor Lawrence is going to pull that same ish. Because right now, the NY Jets are being labeled a trainwreck of a franchise. You have longtime Jets fans like Mike Greenberg telling Lawrence on camera, to avoid the NY Jets if he wants a career. So Lawrence is going to Eli Manning, the NY Jets. And Justin Fields who will have an outstanding year himself, will be the 2nd best option for NY. I don't think Atlanta will risk the #4 overall pick on a QB with Matt Ryan still on that big contract extension he signed two years back. That's why I have Washington picking him

BTW, the last Golden Boy QB the NFL and Media promoted as the next GOD of the position was Andrew Luck and you see how they wound up. Indy never built around Luck and early retirement for him...

[brushmyhair]

When I saw Justin Fields at #1 I thought it was because you thought Lawrence returned to school, but no. Once I saw Lawrence at 6 to the Redskins I closed out of this draft. Trevor Lawrence is supposed to be the next Dan Marino. He's going #1

So bc Indy didn't surround him with talent he was a failure? Makes no sense. Luck the player was the best QB prospect since Peyton. And he was that good. It's a shame Indy never helped him. But he was 100% worth that pick. As will TLaw. Just whoever gets that pick better help him (which is true for every QB).

I can't see the Vikings passing on any of the following 4 picks to get a safety. Even if Harris leaves in the off season, which I expect him to, I still think that safety wouldn't be the Vikings target.
