  4. POSITIVES

    —Tall, long quarterback with ideal size.

    —Multiyear starter for a winning program, including a national championship win as a true freshman at Clemson and CFP appearances all three years as a starter.

    —Top-tier arm strength and accuracy allow him to deliver throws at all three levels. Able to put field outs and benders on the money with no noticeable dip in arc. Scheme-proof as a QB. Able to throw a straight fastball or with touch. Will save his receivers some hits with ball placement.

    —Quick release that's even more impressive given his length. —Very good, smooth athlete. Enough explosiveness to make a defender miss in or out of the pocket. Is a strider but has good acceleration. All QB run concepts are available with him.

    —Consistent mechanics and athleticism allow him to throw in pocket, off platform and on the move. Every throw is in his wheelhouse.

    —Tight footwork. Rarely late on throws, and throws consistently with timing and anticipation. Consistently able to reset and stay balanced when progressing.

    —Eyes work quickly. Shows awareness and football IQ to understand situations and intent of concepts.

    —Tough and willing to take a hit to deliver a throw. Keeps eyes downfield and only looks to run when he has to create.

    —Leadership, work ethic and maturity to be the face of a franchise. Even does the little things such as carrying out fakes after handing the ball off.

  5. NEGATIVES

    —Plays in a simplistic offense that doesn't require much protection knowledge.

    —Can try to "wish" some throws open and force things in. May be scheme-influenced.

  6. OVERALL

    Lawrence is as legitimate a generational QB prospect as you'll ever see. He will instantly become the face of the franchise for the team that drafts him, and he can live up to such expectations. He is the complete package of size, arm talent, athleticism and intangibles. Only injuries or an incompentent franchise will put him on a path of failure.
