With the No. 1 pick, who would GM Vic pick?
I'd call Carolina and ask them what Trevor Lawrence is worth to them. I think I might be able to get four ones. Then I'd maneuver into position to draft hometown guy Mac Jones.

I got to ask everyone on your serious question and that is why do we take Vic ketchman opinions seriously when this was the same guy that advocated for Gene Smith to be the next general manager and thought he was going to be great at it. Vic ketchman is a clown who has an NFL mindset that's clearly outdated so there's nothing that he can say to us as a fan base that we should take his word as gospel.

Vic was a company man then. However, he's been around football for a long time and does have some true insight (and some access, still) to the game and the people who make it work. Everything he says is certainly not correct, but he's earned the chops to be taken somewhat seriously. 

However, his insistence on Jacksonville trading Lawrence away is not based on football knowledge, IMO. I think he has a real disdain for this team and or town. I don't know why, but it's clearly discernable in his answers. I guess it comes down to my curiosity for why he's willing to make to such an obviously errant call to express his displeasure with Jacksonville.
