I recently heard Daniel Jeremiah on local radio say that while Trevor Lawrence may not be generational, he thinks he is an incredible talent and the best prospect since Andrew Luck. He then said he also does not think the gap between Trevor and Zach Wilson is as big as everyone thinks. With Zach Wilson being the overall consensus No. 2 quarterback in the draft, do you think there is any chance he becomes the pick if Urban sees something in his game? Wilson does look dynamic. His release is Marino-like and his ability to make plays on the move is something special. I would love to hear your thoughts.

JACKSONVILLE – Trent Baalke made his philosophy clear Friday:
The draft will matter very much – well beyond the No. 1 overall selection in the April 2021 NFL Draft. And when drafting, the Jaguars will focus on one thing above all else:
Finding the best players – at the right time, and right cost. We re a value-based team – not a needs-based [team], Baalke said.
Baalke spoke to the media via videoconference early Thursday afternoon, hours after being named the Jaguars general manager. Among the topics was his core drafting philosophy – and whether it focused on roster needs or a player s overall ability regardless of position.
