    1. Zack Wilson
    2.Trevor Lawrence
    3. Mac Jones
    4. Kellen Mound
    5. Justin Fields
    6. Trey Lance

    I am starting to hear plenty of legit talk of Wilson being every bit as talented as Lawrence, which has surprised me, but has gotten my attention. Chris Simms is one of the few analysts I came across last year who was very high on Herbert and not so much with Tua. He has Kellen Mound as a high 1st round talent also.
    I watched Trevor Lawrence’s proday and wasn’t blown away. He missed a couple of easy passes in the endzone. Maybe it was a combination of nerve and non-throwing arm injury. Also he looked skinnier than JH coming out of college.

      Lawrence will go #1. Some analysts are overthinking it. Feels like the Luck vs RGIII debate in the 2012 draft. And I was higher on Herbert than Tua last year, but wanted Burrows most of all.

        Same, i didnt want Tua at #6. It was mostly for injury concerns but i wasnt real high on him and thought he benefitted from a stacked offensive group.

          I wanted Isiah Simmons and either Jordan Love or Jalen Hurts

            I never understood the intrigue of Tua. Liked JH better but, admittedly, wanted one of the OTs in last year’s draft. Specifically Wirfs. Glad to be wrong about Herbert tho.

            I like Lawrence in this year’s draft, but I think the rest are overrated. I think Burrow and Herbert’s success has made every QB-needy team extra horny for a QB on a rookie deal.
            Our quarterback is a golden god.

                  This boards accountability for their own draft miscues should be the envy for every JAG who’s ever been actual NFL GM. Props to all!

                    Not me...Since burrows was gonna go #1 and we had no QB I was Herbert all the way. I was fearful we we're gonna get stuck with Tua. When Herbert Signs his $30 mil contract and the Nike money starts flowing in I'm ready to join his Entourage. LOL!

                      Herbert is the chosen one
                      he's already setting up his finances to be able to negotiate good but not cap-wreaking contracts
                      kid has his eye on greatness we mere fans dare not dream of

                          You are absolutely correct, but it isn't our problem anymore...and in fact helps us. Here's to overreaching QB frenzy in the 2021 draft!:Cheers1:
                          Adopted Bolt: Kimani Vidal RB

                          Final prediction: Latham OT, Colson LB, Sainristil CB,Rice WR, Zinter OG, Nourzad OC, MacLachlan TE, Vidal RB, Lovett DT
