Justin Fields in the 2021 NFL draft
What We Say
Someone is going to take a chance on Fields based on the high, high ceiling he has. More than that, some experts forget that he’s put some pretty remarkable tape out there and played fantastic against some really good competition. Sure, there are a couple of games where he panicked and made some poor decisions, but that wasn’t the norm. You can’t track the physical abilities and work ethic he possesses, and he’s going to go very, very early — maybe earlier than many believe. We think McShay is onto something here as a top-three pick.
It should be noted, the only two players McShay has going off the board before Fields is Lawrence and BYU quarterback Zach Wilson.
