Combines and postseason hype change things in inexplicable ways. Fields or any other potential first round quarterback can become locks for that spot based on things completely unrelated to their play. Kyler Murray was a projected 3rd or 4th rounder, then was a number 1 overall lock a few weeks after the season ended. Teams fall in love with physical traits all the time, and Fields has athleticism for days. He's also proven to be a highly accurate passer for the majority of his career up until the last 3 games or so.
Some OC or executive is very likely to see Fields as a player that they can develop into something special. He has all of the things that can't be taught.
Is it likely he goes 2nd overall? Maybe not. I'd hardly call it a foregone conclusion that he's out of the running. Even if he is, one of the other quarterback prospects could and likely will rise to that spot. If it can happen for Daniel Jones and Mitch Trubisky, it can happen for Fields, Trask, Jones, Wilson, or Lance.
