Might have to change the title to, 'Quarterbacks selected 1-2-3-4 for the first time ever'.

not quite the same, as QB is slightly more critical position, especially at top of the draft

the question  is how far will he fall in the draft until a GM will put his job on the line to find out if Fields has a relapse on his watch

There seems to be some chatter that he will/possibly already has outgrown it.

maybe they can get a peer review study to confirm

Yes. Sounds like this scenario screams out for a clinical trial.

Looks like he's in the Jordan Palmer program, too.

2021 NFL Draft: Pro execs, scouts, coaches break down the QB class
 

Clemson's Trevor Lawrence is No. 1. BYU's Zach Wilson is No. 2.
 

Those were the consensus rankings within the league before the 2021 NFL Draft process kicked into high gear, and they haven't changed over the past six weeks or so, with the Jacksonville Jaguars still widely expected to select Lawrence with the top overall pick and the New York Jets likely to take Wilson second on April 29.
 

Should Ohio State's Justin Fields, Alabama's Mac Jones or North Dakota State's Trey Lance be the San Francisco 49ers' pick at No. 3? Is Stanford's Davis Mills, Texas A&M's Kellen Mond or Florida's Kyle Trask the best bet among prospects likely destined for Days 2 and 3? There are 32 draft boards, and you probably could find every possible permutation of rankings on one of them.
 

Here's the full breakdown of the 13 quarterbacks with the best chance to get drafted, based on conversations with NFL executives, scouts and coaches, all speaking on the condition of anonymity for competitive reasons and to provide a blunt assessment:

Kyle Trask will surprise as NFL QB

somebody threw the ball so Pitts could be the best TE in a generation

I’m not so sure. Remember how many people opined that Mike Evans was a product of Johnny Manziel’s productivity in college?

Kyle Trask is not Johnny Manziel  -  running around like he's in his backyard to make plays

Toney and Pitts are both getting a lot of buzz, yet Trask gets no mentions

 

he put 45 points up on Alabama

Six top draft QBs are compared to former or current NFL QBs
 

2021 NFL Draft: Prospect-pro comparisons for top quarterbacks
Gil Brandt
NFL.com Senior Analyst
 

Trey Lance
North Dakota State · QB
 

Pro comparison: Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills (3 NFL seasons, 3,235.7 passing yards per year, 22.3 passing TDs per year, 10.3 INTs per year, 90.4 passer rating)
 

Like Allen in 2018, Lance enters the NFL boasting plenty of potential but also surrounded by questions. Lightly recruited out of high school, Allen flashed big-time ability while performing reasonably well against lesser competition at Wyoming. And while he was good in Years 1 and 2, everything REALLY came together for Allen in Year 3 with the Bills, when he played like a top-10 QB and helped power Buffalo to the AFC title game. Lance also went relatively unnoticed by recruiters on his way to North Dakota State, and while it's hard to argue with his results in 2019 (16-0 record, 28:0 TD-to-INT ratio, 1,100 rushing yards, 14 rushing TDs), it's still tough to project him to the NFL level, thanks to the smaller sample size against less-robust competition. It's also hard to imagine that the school would produce not just one but TWO viable NFL starting QBs (including Carson Wentz) in the span of five years. Lance actually averaged more yards per throw (9.7 to 7.8) than Allen did in college, and he well outpaced the former Cowboy in yards per carry (6.7 to 3.2). Not to mention, he was more accurate than Allen (67 percent completion rate to 56.2 percent).
 

Lance is one of the most interesting players in this draft, and I can't wait to see where he's taken. Allen has an inch or so and about 10 pounds on Lance, but watching Lance pick up yards through the air and on the ground, it's easy enough to see echoes of what Allen has become at this point in his career. The key for Lance -- like it was for Allen -- is ending up with a team that understands how to formulate a plan to best accentuate his development over the next two-to-three years.

Heard on Clay Travis that 49ers will take either Jones or Lance

no Fields

 

supported by fact that 49ers passed on Ohio State pro day 

[Ann]

NE wants Fields?
