Because teams will trade up for Wilson and Fields.
Fields/Wilson/Lance. Just give me one

Decent read, doesn't tell me much I didn't know, I think I have Fields as QB3, I do love his upside though, might be the best thrower in the class, need to pair that with better instincts.

Thoughts this was a great read and very informative. He's much more accurate then some in here give him create for.

Let's get right to it: Fields' 83.18% adjusted accuracy is the best I have ever recorded since I started with the 2016 class. That's only about six years of data, but it's still an impressive feat given some of the QBs to come out during that period. For reference, Joe Burrow (78.43%), Dwayne Haskins (77.17%), Baker Mayfield (76.53%), and Kyler Murray (74.68%) made up the top four previously. Fields beating out three first-overall picks and another first-round pick ain't too shabby.

And he's not throwing a bunch of screens either

Justin Fields' target area chart shows a passer who did not need throws gifted to him. Just 13.39% of his throws were at or behind the line of scrimmage, which would have been lower than every 2020 quarterback except for Joe Burrow.

I still have him as my QB2 and I think that's how it goes end of the day...if he drops for whatever weird reason (been seeing it in mocks) I would jump all over it if I was Kyle (who does have a relationship with him)

With that high elbow armcock, does he whip the ball out like a right handed Vick?

Cam Newton.

Yes, I was wondering who his throwing motion reminded me of.

I will say he's by far more accurate then Cam

I haven't watched film on him, now curious on how quick he can get the ball out with that style.

He's a look on him doing some off season drills last yr and then applying those throws in games

I like Fields' balls to throw deep when it doesn't look wide open. Give his receivers a chance to make a big play. Wilson too.

A definite plus for Fields, most of Wilson's looked like designed play action shot plays, still throws them well though.
Everyone has a favorite going into the draft, Fields would be my choice.....but really we just have to hope one of the guys who is worth while slides to striking distance.
