With the New York Jets sending quarterback Sam Darnold to the Carolina Panthers in a trade Monday, both franchises sent clear signals about how they view their short-term plans behind center. But with three signal-callers poised to be taken in the top three picks for the first time since 1999, a historic rush at the position looks to be the defining trait of this year&#39;s class.<\/p>\n<p>With all that in mind, here&#39;s our latest first-round projection:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Jacksonville Jaguars &ndash; Trevor Lawrence, QB, Clemson:<\/strong>&nbsp;It didn&#39;t take Urban Meyer acknowledging this is the direction the Jaguars are headed to certify this selection. A wire-to-wire favorite for the No. 1 spot, Lawrence has rendered moot much of the speculation inherent to the NFL draft industrial complex. Now it&#39;s up to Jacksonville to upgrade Lawrence&#39;s Year 1 supporting cast while also trying to fill sizable holes on defense.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. New York Jets &ndash; Zach Wilson, QB, BYU:&nbsp;<\/strong>The Darnold trade clears a runway for Wilson to make a smooth landing in East Rutherford. General manager Joe Douglas doesn&#39;t appear to be interested in stoking much uncertainty about his intentions, responding to Steve Young&#39;s contention that New York had zeroed in on Wilson by saying Tuesday, &quot;Steve&#39;s plugged into BYU pretty well.&quot; With Douglas paving the way for his signal-caller to start from Day 1, the pressure is on to deliver the protection and skill-position talent Gang Green&nbsp;failed to afford Darnold.<\/p>\n<p><span><strong>MORE: <\/strong>32 things we learned from 2021 NFL draft prospects&#39; pro days<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>WINNERS, LOSERS: <\/strong>Breaking down draft trades by 49ers, Dolphins, Eagles<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gannett-cdn.com\/presto\/2021\/04\/07\/USAT\/8e9153eb-2979-4639-8c25-7d26c5e94e7e-USATSI_15145650.jpg?width=540&amp;height=&amp;fit=bounds&amp;auto=webp\"><br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/draft\/2021\/04\/07\/nfl-mock-draft-2021-darnold-trade-justin-fields-mac-jones\/7115021002\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With less than a month left until<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":120200,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23051],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
