Half of the last 10 OROY winners have been quarterbacks, so it makes sense to start at that position. Lawrence was the locked-and-loaded No. 1 overall pick for months (or years), and him going first to Jacksonville shocked absolutely no one. He lands on a team with a good cast of weapons — Laviska Shenault, D.J. Chark, and Marvin Jones form a good trio of receivers, fellow Clemson rookie Travis Etienne will give him a good receiving option out of the backfield, and much like Justin Herbert, last year’s OROY winner, they will be playing from behind a lot. He’s the odds-on favorite to win, making it not the most sexy bet in the world, but he will have the opportunity as a Week 1 starter and the environment around him to put up numbers.
