Opinions: if Lawrence is gone, what's the plan then?

Really? Even if our picks from last year turn out, we are full of holes. It’s going to be another draft where there isn’t a wrong position to draft. 

With that said we are more than likely picking first. This team lacks serious talent. More so than I have ever seen.

I’ve done preliminary research on Lawrence and Lance. My buddy at work is an Ohio St fan and says we want no part of Fields. (Not that that is the definitive word or anything, just what I have to go off of at the moment.)  The gap between Lance and Lawrence is HUGE.  Lance doesn’t look like an NFL QB to me.  He doesn’t make difficult throws, he mostly lobs it down field. His throws didn’t seem particularly precise, he locks onto receivers, a lot of his impressive plays are bulldozing 180 lbs linebackers and that isn’t gonna happen in the NFL. Simply put he doesn’t seem to have command of the game and the position like Lawrence. If we don’t get the #1 pick we need to trade whatever we need to to trade up for Lawrence. I still have to do my own research on Fields though, so maybe I’ll change my mind when I do.

I don’t see any outcome where we aren’t picking first.

Any thoughts on Kyle Trask? Could he be this years Joe Burrow coming out of nowhere to become a top draft pick. He threw 6 TDs against Ole Miss this weekend.

Lawrence is probably worthy of the number one and would start next season.  Fields and Lance might need to sit behind Teddy for a year.

If we pick number one, its a no brainer.  If we pick 5-10, then I would take Lance over Fields at this point.  Much higher ceiling for me, he just needs to be able to work the middle of the field with what the NFL is going to throw at him.  After a year of sitting behind Teddy, he should be ready to go

For me its more nuanced than looking at the numbers.  I have seen 90% of TL games so I feel I have a good take on him.  I have seen much less of Fields, Lance so I really cannot say.  I flipped around a bit yesterday and saw Trask for probably the 2nd time and he looked good.  His system seems to be wide open so that probably factors in to his stats a bit
