Urban Meyer to draft ZW?

I looked at a bunch of mock drafts and haven't seen a single one predict ZW with the first pick (although several have him going second to the Jets).
Urban Meyer's success as an NFL coach will be inextricably connected to who he selects as QB in the draft. Conventional wisdom is that Trevor Lawrence
is a generational talent blah blah blah. Urban Meyer has been very complimentary of ZW in the past. If Meyer believes that Wilson will be a better
NFL QB than Lawrence, would he have the guts to take the risk of going against conventional wisdom to select Wilson?

GM has more say than the coach

Meyer will have say in that pick or he wouldn't have taken the job

If Urban has say, he will say Lawrence though...

He has some say but if the GM thinks Lawrence is better it’s probably gonna

I hope not. I would hate to have to root for any team Urban coaches.

Nah 1st will be Lawrence.

Please no. UM will be a disaster in the NFL.

Love him or hate him he's one of the best football coaches in the world.

Agreed..and I think if he can find success like Carroll has in Seattle I think..

UM is a bully and taskmaster. That won't work in the NFL

1/14/21 11:18am

Okay, I believe he'll be successful.

Vincent's Picks

1/14/21 11:20am

Fair enough. Should be a good study to see if his style translates at that level

1/14/21 11:22am

I don’t want ZW going to a team where he’ll be hit 8 times a game.

I can't see any owner/GM/coach passing on Lawrence. Too much blowback for them to stomach.

If they're worth their salt they'll consider it. Lawrence is NOT clearly the one

Only if they are able to trade out of the first pick. But I am not sure how much

June Jones is on the record saying he likes ZW #1, FWIW

Urban Meyer doesn't call the draft shots; the Jags owner does

I don’t think Urban will take the job if he doesn’t have majority say on draft picks. He’s too high demand.

Meyer called Lawrence “the best quarterback in college football, ever.”

Lawrence is going #1; if you don't believe in him, trade down for a haul

krindorr

1/14/21 11:25am

So much more egg goes on his face if he picks Zach and doesn’t perform vs Lawrence

crm48

1/14/21 12:41pm

Exactly. He would have to think that ZW is much better than TL to take the risk

cougarnw

1/14/21 12:46pm

Even if he honestly believes ZW is better, there'd be someone to trade up.

Zach is a one season phenom. Trevor has multi year creds.

Love Wilson, but TL is a great QB, plus he is big and the NFL loves big QB's.

Not a chance. If he picks Wilson and Wilson flops he gets fired
