1. Justin Fields, QB*

Recent mocks have him going No. 2 to the Jets, while ESPN’s Todd McShay had him falling to the Patriots at No. 15. That’s probably wishful thinking, because even if New York shocks the world and passes on him, there’s plenty of other quarterback hungry teams who will happily scoop him up long before the Pats can even dream about taking him.

Either way, the Buckeyes’ quarterback is a slam dunk to be a first-round pick after an impressive two seasons under center.

Ohio State football fans know what Fields is capable of–He’s big, can throw the ball a mile and can cause panic with his legs. Except for the national championship that Trevor Lawrence won, Fields basically matched his Clemson counterpart every step of the way.

If the Jets don’t buy into the Georgnia native, as McShay suggests, I’ll be stunned.
