My main concern with Lawrence is he's a tall skinny kid with pretty average mechanics and there aren't many great NFL QBs you can describe that way. I wonder how he'll hold up against NFL defenses. Also the league seems to be moving towards players who are great at scrambling and improvising. While he can do it in a pinch, I don't see that as really his strong point.

The other thing I notice and I'll be the first to admit I've only seen him in a couple of games this year, is his accuracy seems average at best.

Still more upside than downside but there is some risk there.

Respectively, there isn’t a single scout that would agree with you on his accuracy being average at best.

You'd probably be wrong. Just to reiterate, I'd probably still take him over Fields. Here's the opinion of a former QB FWIW. You could probably find some active scouts with similar takes. This is about ball placement as much as anything.

"Anticipation throws and getting the ball out of his hands before receivers are opened,” Orlovsky said of the areas he believes Lawrence needs to work on. “It’s not necessarily demanded of him too much in that Clemson offense, but you want to see him develop that and grow that. He’s a kid still. This is a true sophomore running this offense and he’s had tremendous success. Here’s the thing: He’s very much Andrew Luck and maybe Matthew Stafford. I would say both of those guys are so physically talented that you don’t necessarily have to learn at a young age how to anticipate your throws because you’re so good. The arm is so good that I don’t need to. I can wait to see if you’re open and I’m strong enough, accurate enough to put it in place where I need to be. That’s different in the NFL. He will need to learn how to get that into his game."

Doubtful.

Yeah that's how I feel too.
