vitaman 185 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 If Lance, Fields, and Lawrence had been in last year or year before's draft, where would they have been projected to come off the Board? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PriMeTiiMe 6,962 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Not sure if Lawrence would have gone over Burrow after that historic season and championship.

Based off what we have seen so far from Herbert I would agree as higher than Tua but going into the draft Tua was the higher rated prospect. Lance is extremely raw and faced low end competition, Even with the injury concerns of Tua I would still place him higher than Lance.

Lawrence and Burrow would have had a 1A/1B scenario. With a slight edge going to Lawrence. Tua stays the same. Fields would have probably been drafted around Herbert’s pick. GB would have probably traded up for Herbert. Lance drops to the end of the 1st and gets picked up by NE. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
emc008 304 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I’ve always enjoyed watching Clemson and Lawrence’s freshman year was stellar indeed. However I’ve watched all 3 games this year of him and I still don’t know how I feel on TL... he throws a lot of quick screens and his receivers do a lot for his stats. I’m unsure if I see the NFL progression in his game. He does throw a beautiful deep ball but the jury is still out about his intermediate and progression game. shockerfalcon 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tua may end up being great in the NFL but it is a lonely place to be as a HC and GM when your star QB gets hurt every year and misses 4+ games/season. I am solid on Lawrence/Fields.....don't know much about Lance yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dolphins are wise in letting him learn year 1 and make sure hes 10000% healthy before trotting him out there. I am all in on Fields. I think Lawrence is a lock to Jets as they are so bad and will be lucky to win 1 game with their schedule. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My kids go to Harrison HS (Kennesaw, GA - Hoya, Hoya, Saxa!!!) - watched Fields live in about 8 games over two years. He literally has it all. Probably has more raw talent than Lawrence....Lots of people try and compare him to Cam Newton. Fields is big and physical but not as big as Cam - Fields is much more accurate than Cam. My comparison is Fields is a more physical version of DeSean Watson. Is he perfect? No....has some more development to go and Ohio State runs a very basic system - but talent is oozing out of Fields' body - he is smart - good student and comes from a good family - dad was former military and police officer and was school resource officer at Harrison HS. Fields isn't overly polished as a speaker and maybe still needs to mature a bit - but everything you need is there. He is also a very accurate passer.

With the bulk majority coming from his most recent injury, which was a freak injury. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Seen every Dolphins’ game. They have weapons and their line is decent. They have no run game and don’t utilize Brieda enough. Gesicki is a beast and can give Tua a great safety valve too. He’ll be in a good position to succeed. Not really a fan of Fields. Schematically I think he’ll struggle on the pro level much like Haskins. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I knew Georgia was making a mistake in letting him go. I remember you and I agreeing that he would light it up at Ohio State. This would bee my first pick.

Yeah but he still played 15 games in between, which means it’s still not 4+ games per year 😉. Games missed aren’t quantified by what you could have missed; only by what you actually missed. I see a lot of hate on Tua on these boards. I’m curious as to how much of that is based off the 2018 National Championship. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Killing Floor 633 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Was really fun to watch Herbert yesterday. Anyway there are probably 10 QB who are serious draft prospects after this season. We’ll see. Some of the big names honestly might not translate to NFL success because of the usual differences. But I’ll be interested to see how things sort out after the crazy season and if there is a live combine. Fingers crossed. We at least need to be grooming someone. I don’t see a Ryan getting benched any time soon. But as slow as he is, with our O line caving I hope he can stay safe. We need ole 56%/no TD to stay healthy to keep us in the hunt.

I will draft Gators, LSU Tigers, Auburn(War Eagle!), etc. Tua has phenomenal arm talent and he may be a superstar. His injury he is coming off and the two ankles - that’s a lot to already have before you even start your NFL career. Knight of God 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The year that Gurley was being drafted no one said anything about his injuries, and people wanted us to select him 8th overall. Lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Francis York Morgan 24,631 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Gotta watch more, but I'm really not impressed with the QBs coming out this year at first glance. Reminds me of 2015 and the hype around Winston/Mariota, with practically nothing after. Vandy, Fernando C. and Ergo Proxy 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Smiler11 6,136 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I think as others have said execs would be split on Burrow Vs Lawrence. Burrow was probably more pro ready, but he was basically a 1 year wonder. Lawrence is younger with a better overall skillset, he's also been producing at a high level from day 1.

dapanch420 404 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Lawrencenis the real deal, the guy has a good strong/accurate arm and can make plays with his feet if he has to. Pair him with a good offensive minded head coach and we can become the next patrick mahomes/rodgers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A-TowN.- 5,358 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Not especially crazy about any QB after Lawrence and Fields. Some upside guys: - Kyle Trask, Florida - Trey Lance, NDSU - Zach Wilson, BYU - Tanner Morgan, Minnesota - Mac Jones, Alabama Some 2021 guys I really like: - Phil Jurkovec, Boston College - Kedon Slovis, USC - Sam Howell, UNC - Dorian Thompson Robinson, UCLA - Matt Corral, Ole Miss Quote Link to post Share on other sites
408Falcon 1,201 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Man, Herbert looked real nice yesterday. For a rook. I'd love someone like him and I see Lawerence being an upgraded version of him. vitaman and Mescalito 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
