Not that he should be taken that early, but there are a ton of teams looking for QB help and only a handful of top rated QB's in this draft. As big as the divide is between Lawrence, Wilson, Jones, Fields and even presumably Trey Lance is to Trask, the divide is so much greater from Trask to the next QB to get drafted. It's like a giant cliff. If you don't get one of the top 6 QB's in this draft, you're likely stuck with what you already have at the position. Not that all of these guys are gonna succeed, undoubtedly some won't. I just don't see any potential starters at all after the top 6 QB's though and some teams will see that and inevitably inflate Trask's value. It happens every year.

Normally I would be in complete agreement with you.

But I think because QBs are such a premium position, they are likely to go very early, which means those teams in the middle of the pack who still need a QB will have to give up more for that desperation trade up.  Since there is this gulf between Trask and the upper tier QBs, and the teams ahead of them have already met their QB needs in many instaces, they could wait for him to fall some and save draft capital, if they decide to not wait a year for their QB.
