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

But Trevor Lawrence is the perfect QB to run what Urban Meyer likes. He's a bigger Alex Smith with a much stronger arm.

Zach is a lot like Alex with a stronger arm, too, but I'm just saying Lawrence is a prototypical QB for Urban.

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

Okay, I believe he'll be successful.

Vincent's Picks

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

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

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
