Although whichever QB gets drafted by SF has by far the best environment to succeed in. If I was Lawrence I would consider making a video of myself in a bong mask hoping I drop to #3.
Historically speaking the odds are that at least 2 of the Top 5 will be major disappointments/busts and one is likely to be average to below average.
This is exactly what I said my concern was after they jumped to #3, as you mentioned the team environment has a lot to do with it and we have the best of the top 5. When it comes to this I always think of Alex Smith and Rodgers. I think if we had gotten Rodgers and Alex ended up in GB, the narrative would be reversed because our environment sucked while GB was good. Rodgers got to sit and learn while Alex was set up for failure. In this case, as good as Lawrence is projected to be, he might be the bust. Who are the Jags surrounding him with to help him out?, and as good as Meyer was in college we all know the NFL is different. How is he going to react when failure hits him in the face, this is something he never experienced in his college coaching career.
Yeah but how often is a top 3 QB selected by a team that has SB caliber talent surrounding that QB AND in an established system?
The odds are high a QB drafted by a SB caliber team succeeds.
