I read this article about Urban considering pro football and if he were to go to the Jags he’d take Fields and swap picks with the Jets for Lawrence. It’s probably a pipe dream but the rumour does have a logical base.
Not happening, Only way Lawrence to Jags isn't happening is if TL gets doubts about the health of the franchise and asks them to trade pick-- Even at that, I wouldn't give up a haul to move up for him.
It has no logical base for the Jets, as the writer says (For a significant haul). Why would the Jets do that? If the Jags want Fields, take Fields and let Lawrence drop to the Jets. If they are saying Meyer is cool with either, then that is fine, but he would definitely take Lawrence in the end.
If we have a glimmer of a chance to trade up for Lawrence we do it no questions asked. Not wanting to do it boggles my mind. Most FQBs get traded up for to begin with but when you got a shot at one of the best prospects of all time! And some team is dumb enough to do it?! Make it happen!!!
interesting notion, but I would be STUNNED if Meyer is coaching anywhere next year. I think he is pretty much done.
This makes no sense. If Jax says they want to swap picks, the Jets just say no and then Jax takes who they want which the article implies is Fields, leaves Lawrence available. What would Jax do? Trade the pick to someone else.
If he went to the Jags he would surely take Lawrence. Any other speculation is just to grab headlines.
It'd be cool but it's not he has any connection to Fields to want to make that move other than obviously being at Ohio State and talking to Ryan Day about him. I don't believe he attempted to recruit him or anything like that. Either way - not happening. Lawrence is representative of so much more than football in terms of marketing and drawing fans and what not. He's hauled as the best since Luck and it's not debatable like Darnold and the 2018 class was.
Nobody is choosing Fields over Lawrence unless they get a haul for the swap. We'd be stupid to offer a haul for the pick and the Jags would be monumentally stupid to pass Lawrence without one. What is important is that Fields kicks some butt in the playoffs today and makes the second pick more valuable. Winning and going to the champ game would also be helpful. Go Fields and OSU.
ouchy. You should post more often man. You are exactly right. I bet some good money on Clemson so that it is a consolation prize for me if Ohio State loses the game. Ohio State winning this game with Fields playing lights out is the best outcome for the Jets to be honest.
Jets would have to call their bluff....They can’t go below us because of the threat the Jets take Fields at 2. I wouldn’t give them anything Doesnt matter though they’re taking Lawrence
Pretty sure if they interview Meyer it will be discussed then. If Meyer says anything other than TL is the pick he wants, out the door he goes and that's that...
Yeah it kinda doesn’t make sense. I think the best they could get is our 2nd rounder as a “insurance” that we would get Lawrence. Depending on the situation, Fields might not make it past top 3. If they really think Fields is better than the rest then you take him there. Getting cute with the pick would be a disaster if that’s who they want.
Well in that scenario it is possible, if they want fields then they can shop the 1 for a TL hungry team below the Jets. That isn't actually outlandish (apart from the not taking TL part) Edit stupidly I was thinking they would still pick #2 it has been a long day lol
Strategically doesn’t make sense for us to trade up from 2 unless they didn’t have a preference between the available QBs, in which case they have a bigger problem, having the most valuable asset in the draft and no idea what to use it on. If they have a preference they run the risk of losing their preferred QB to ANYONE they trade the pick to, including us. If they trade below us they increase that risk exponentially, with the possibility of only their 3rd favorite QB on the board. You don’t do that with these kinds of prospects on the board unless you truly don’t need them. They’re not trading down.
the owners of the Jags are into show business: they own AEW. take out the name of Lawrence and replace it with Namath take out the name of Khan and replace it with Werblin. the owner will dictate using the pick on Lawrence, no matter whom the GM is and/or the head coach is. namath " it's a sport" mrs. werbiln: "it's show business, joseph"
But then the Jags don't really want Fields, take that out of the equation and this whole thread is moot.
