It's been said, but it's about time for its own thread! 

Trevor Lawrence is the next iteration of the next big thing in the minds of many. There are good reasons for that! Some quarterbacks just have the "it" factor. He is in the mold of what many an NFL fan's fantasy consists of when thinking of the perfect QB. He has size, pocket awareness and presence, arm talent for all throws, decent decision-making, and is all that and a bag of chips. I get it! Of the top quarterbacks, he is the safest, most surest pick! But, that doesn't mean that he'll be the best QB of the 2021 draft class.

There are other worthy quarterbacks in the class. And, believe it or not, when it's all said and done, they could end up the best QB in the class. 

Justin Fields looked pretty good last year. And Trey Lance is somewhat of a talented magnetic enigma. Both have less of a body of work than Lawrence, and seemingly a lot more to work on and prove, but they all have a lot to prove as it pertains to the pros. 

Sure, Joe Burrow has looked the part in his first couple of starts, and is showing plenty of promise. But Herbert looked pretty damned good yesterday also. Really good for a first start! Moreover, guys like one guy that recently signed almost a half billion dollar contract, and another Super Bowl winner who was apparently too short to be a first rounder, but now playing in a stadium named for a second-rate cable company, should make you think.

All that being said, at least wait until the Panthers effectively play themselves out of contention for one of the top quarterbacks before you commit to the crazy talk of tanking, because tanking isn't going to happen artificially; tanking was always going to happen naturally. With things going the way they are, we'll likely be in the position to get one of the top guys. I will be happy to take Lawrence, but I'm not going to be crying in the slightest if Lance is there for the taking! Pictures of flowing Fields aren't bad either.

Yeah, he definitely could prove to not be the best of the bunch in the NFL. But, I'd rather be sitting in the driver's seat to have our pick of the bunch. Honestly, if that turned out not to be Trevor, fine. But it better be a fuggin QB.

LOL I can see this board if we have the number 1 pick and choose Lance or Fields.  This place would blow up.

That would never happen.  Trevor Lawrence would have been the number 1 pick 2 years ago, last year and he will be the Number 1 pick this year.

An injury like Tua's (god forbid) could make that a harder decision for whatever team is making it.

      Jalon Walker player comp: Haason Reddick

      By MHS831 · Posted

      This.  Walker will likely be a good to great NFL player, but he is not a good fit if you consider risk and what Morgan did last year with a raw player.  Is Walker raw?  You could argue either side of that debate, but I also think this:  It is February, and there is a ton of digging to do--many on here have claimed that Walker is their pick, and now we are not discussing players, we are fighting to see who is right.  This is research time--digging and watching and listening. You have not seen the combine yet.  I love the player, but there are pros and cons.  Instead of trying to prove your point all the damn time, try to find someone who can change your mind.  I come here for that reason, not to be right all the time--coincidentally, that is usually the result.  😀 No disrespect to people who want him, I just look at the big picture and think from Morgan's perspective.   Last year, Morgan did not pick well when he was drafting day 1-2 offensive players.  He drafted Wallace, maybe his best draft pick and Sanders was low hanging fruit in round 4.  Smith-Wade was a good pick in the fifth, another defensive player who looks to be the nickel at the moment.  Remember, the focus was offense, and Morgan struggled. XL has 2025 to change that.  I do not think Morgan gives up on XL, and with the addition of Coker and AT's announcement to return, I think he will add a WR or two, just not in round 1.  Let's not forget, however, that Morgan WAS a LB.  He will think like one when he watches Walker tape.  If Morgan loves Walker's hybrid qualities and Evero gets in his ear, the pick is likely to be Walker--but if he sees him as a LB, Morgan has clearly stated ILB, Edge, S.  as the biggest needs.  When he says "needs" he means starters.  I love the DL in this draft--watching the combine, OH CRAP.  Deep as hell. S---deep as hell.  This is why I think the first pick will be Edge.  Does Morgan see Walker with abilities to play edge at a high level?  I think it comes down to that.
