Most GM's have to make their mark by picking the QB when it's not completely obvious, and it's their ability to recognize talent when it's not so obvious it's just punching them in the face that makes their teams succeed. So, yes, the Jaguars need something more than just a warm body to go up and hand in the card for Lawrence (assuming Marrone doesn't [BLEEP] us in these last two weeks), but the next GM would at least be able to say he actually got a chance to draft an elite QB, some guys never even get that chance. Imagine being an NFL GM of a team between 2006 and 2012. Essentially no elite QB at all came out during those years, just a few pretty good ones.

2013 the GM's all showed they still are just guys that can't recognize talent staring them in the face.

Burrow was a better prospect coming out of college and he only came out last draft.

You need to pump the brakes on him being a can't miss, once in a generation type talent.
