Trask Versus Fields or Wilson?? Or Chase or Parsons?

I was worried watching Fields look very bad yesterday in the limelight against Nonwestern. He did not look like a top 15 pick yesterday, but good news is the big strong armed Florida QB looked very good against a very good Alabama team, has played tougher competition (better athletes in SEC overall).

I think if Trask has a great bowl game and does well at combine, he may be the #2 player taken by the Jags (Florida QB staying home). I know it was one game for Fields, but he was playing in a windless dome making poor throws and poor decisions all day long. Oh, I am also not an Ohio State hater, they are my college team, but if not playing my 2 favs (ND and Cincinnati), I root for them.

Thoughts??

I think the current beliefs of Justin Fields are way overblown.  The kid is incredibly mobile, elusive, and downright fast.  He has great touch and anticipation, and stays cool in the pocket.  This year's OSU team would be destroyed by last year's team.  The defense from last year was giving them more possessions and had less pressure on Fields.  

He won't go #1 overall, but I would be willing to wager (and might, if such a prop exists) that he is the 2nd QB off the board and will most likely be a top 5, or even top 3 pick.

I may be the minority here, but Fields has faced a MUCH tougher series of defenses than Lawrence and Lawrence struggled THROWING the ball against OSU and without some really poor officiating and his big runs, he loses that game.  He didn't look good against LSU in the title game, either.  I am not saying I wouldn't take Lawrence with the #1 overall pick, but I don't believe the gap between them is that great.  

I don't really know much about the BYU QB, but the Florida QB will likely be targeted by pitt, as they clearly have to replace Piggy.
