But the thing is, remember how I wrote that Trevor Lawrence was named the 7th best prospect the site had ever evaluated in their 21-year history?? Well, guess who comes in at number 8? That's right, Justin Fields.
People just kind of forgot about Justin Fields because while Lawrence was winning a National Championship as a true freshman, Fields was on the bench at the University of Georgia.
Fields would transfer to Ohio State University after that freshman season and put together two solid years. He got his chance against Trevor Lawrence this year, and he took it with a dominating performance in a 49-28 CFB Playoff Semi-Final victory. He lost the National Championship game, but he had cemented his stock as an elite prospect.
With all that said, the real reason I think he'll go first is that Ohio State coaching legend Urban Meyer is now the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars have the number 1 overall pick in this year's draft. And with everything we know about college football loyalties in this country, Urban Meyer might just decide to go against the grain and select a fellow Buckeye with the number 1 pick.
