At Least One NFL Team Believes Trevor Lawrence Is QB2, And There Could Be More

Trevor Lawrence is widely considered a generational quarterback prospect. Any debate on the 2021 NFL Draft has started with that No. 2 pick, mostly because everyone knows Lawrence will be the first guy taken.

According to draft analyst Matt Miller, it might be a good thing the Jacksonville Jaguars have the top pick. If it were any other team, Lawrence might not be the choice. Instead, it would be BYU quarterback Zach Wilson.

Here's a snippet from Miller's latest scouting notebook:

I always try to remind people that draft season is lying season. It's possible that one team is just blowing smoke, but it could also be true.

Anyone who has watched Wilson closely knows he's oozing with potential. He's got a strong arm, he's got the needed mobility to be a factor with his legs, and he looks like a guy who is still developing -- meaning he's got a high ceiling.

Is he a sure thing? No, but there were similar question marks about Patrick Mahomes coming out of Texas Tech, which Miller recently pointed out. Does that mean that Wilson will reach the same ceiling? Also a no, it just means that ceiling is there.

Apparently, it isn't just one team that prefers Wilson to Lawrence either. Fellow draft analyst Eric Galko tweeted out that multiple teams prefer the Cougars quarterback, and he agrees with them.

Fascinating stuff, right?

At the end of the day, Lawrence is going to be the pick for Urban Meyer and the Jaguars. And with the way things are trending, Wilson will more than likely go to whoever is picking at No. 2. From there, we'll get to compare the careers.
