Oh I think Fields still has a very good chance to go top 5 because a team will be stupid enough to draft him that high based on what he did in college against inferior defenses but there is 0% chance Jones falls out of round 1. That’s not just my analysis but that from an NFL scout  who specializes in QBs. He’s old school but there’s a reason teams still work with him...he’s rarely wrong.

Mac Jones is not going to be a successful starter in the NFL.

Look back through all the years of great teams at Alabama and their QBs never pan out. They have OL's that give them clean pockets, the best of the best at WR, and RB, and a defense that can offer them short fields.

Jones will go round 1 and the team that takes him will be stuck looking for another QB in 2022. If you are throwing passes to the guys he has at WR who get blow away CBs and are wide open, it is easy to hit them. He won't have that type of window in the NFL and will end up, much like McCarron, unable to translate to the pro game.
