Redrafting the 2021 NFL Draft QB class a year later

2. Trevor Lawrence

Original pick: No. 1

Lawrence may be the biggest surprise of all the quarterbacks taken in 2021 after entering the league as a can’t–miss prospect. From his days atop the high school and college rankings, Lawrence was always seen as the consensus top pick whenever he entered the professional level. Through 26 career starts with the Jaguars, star-level play has yet to come at a consistent pace as Lawrence aims to break away from the bad habits brought on by the Urban Meyer-regime his rookie season. With 17 interceptions his opening season, and six early on in 2022, finding ways to even out his play is step one for Lawrence. His high ceiling still remains but the No. 1 overall pick will need to find steadier results to reclaim his spot atop the list.
