It's been said, but it's about time for its own thread! 

Trevor Lawrence is the next iteration of the next big thing in the minds of many. There are good reasons for that! Some quarterbacks just have the "it" factor. He is in the mold of what many an NFL fan's fantasy consists of when thinking of the perfect QB. He has size, pocket awareness and presence, arm talent for all throws, decent decision-making, and is all that and a bag of chips. I get it! Of the top quarterbacks, he is the safest, most surest pick! But, that doesn't mean that he'll be the best QB of the 2021 draft class.

There are other worthy quarterbacks in the class. And, believe it or not, when it's all said and done, they could end up the best QB in the class. 

Justin Fields looked pretty good last year. And Trey Lance is somewhat of a talented magnetic enigma. Both have less of a body of work than Lawrence, and seemingly a lot more to work on and prove, but they all have a lot to prove as it pertains to the pros. 

Sure, Joe Burrow has looked the part in his first couple of starts, and is showing plenty of promise. But Herbert looked pretty damned good yesterday also. Really good for a first start! Moreover, guys like one guy that recently signed almost a half billion dollar contract, and another Super Bowl winner who was apparently too short to be a first rounder, but now playing in a stadium named for a second-rate cable company, should make you think.

All that being said, at least wait until the Panthers effectively play themselves out of contention for one of the top quarterbacks before you commit to the crazy talk of tanking, because tanking isn't going to happen artificially; tanking was always going to happen naturally. With things going the way they are, we'll likely be in the position to get one of the top guys. I will be happy to take Lawrence, but I'm not going to be crying in the slightest if Lance is there for the taking! Pictures of flowing Fields aren't bad either.

Yeah, he definitely could prove to not be the best of the bunch in the NFL. But, I'd rather be sitting in the driver's seat to have our pick of the bunch. Honestly, if that turned out not to be Trevor, fine. But it better be a fuggin QB.

LOL I can see this board if we have the number 1 pick and choose Lance or Fields.  This place would blow up.

That would never happen.  Trevor Lawrence would have been the number 1 pick 2 years ago, last year and he will be the Number 1 pick this year.

An injury like Tua's (god forbid) could make that a harder decision for whatever team is making it.

      Did someone say "hybrid" player?

      There are a couple of options. One is just to not accept your commission and just pay back the Academy for your education. Alot of money for normal folk, but if you're drafted high enough it's a drop in the bucket. You'll need a waiver not to go in enlisted, but normally drafted players get waivers to join the reserves instead of active duty military. Showing that you can actually go to the NFL from a military academy is much better for recruitment than having one more officer on a ship/sub/aircraft. Things were different in the Staubach and David Robinson days. I remember Mike Wahle just paying back the Academy after getting kicked out for steroids after his junior year. Not a big deal when you're drafted in the 2nd round.

      Whoever you get has to be able to shoot a 3 for spacing purposes, especially if you want to replace Miles at 4 with Moose and run a different center.    I like the Miles for Giannis trade idea but where do you put him? At center?    Can you imagine a double screen and roll/slip with with Lamelo, Giannis and Kon... 👀   If you do that trade you need another free agent / draft pick to play at 4 that can stretch the floor otherwise I don't think it works.
