These five college stars will dominate the discussion at the onset of the NFL draft on Thursday night.
Trevor Lawrence 6-6, 213 pounds, Clemson
Lawrence has been the presumptive No. 1 pick in this draft since his freshman season. Prototypical size, top-notch speed and athleticism and rare arm talent. Want to pick some nits? His delivery is a little long and deep ball accuracy could be more consistent.
Zach Wilson 6-2, 214 pounds, BYU
Can throw accurately and with zip from multiple arm angles. Quick feet and hands made him especially effective with run-pass options and play-action. Made a big jump last season when BYU was playing a schedule low on top-flight competition.
Justin Fields 6-3, 227 pounds, Ohio State
Strong arm, blazing speed, sturdy build and willing to take a big hit to make a play. Tendency to hold the ball too long, leading to sacks, but his playoff performance against Clemson was probably the best game a college quarterback played last season.
Trey Lance 6-4, 224 pounds, North Dakota State
