Trevor Lawrence was taken 10th overall in a mock draft of active NFL players.
What happened?
The mock draft, constructed by Chad Reuter of NFL.com, featured quarterback after quarterback being taken early, including Lawrence.
Why it matters for Trevor Lawrence
Lawrence's selection at 10th overall highlights his value as a quarterback, particularly after his impressive first season under Liam Coen in 2025.
He finished the season as a finalist for league MVP, with notable rankings in total passing yards, yards per pass attempt, and passing touchdowns during the Jaguars' eight-game winning streak.
What comes next?
With the continuity of being in Coen's offense, Lawrence has a strong foundation to build upon in 2026, rather than learning a new system.
And he was excellent during offseason programs, according to reports.
Lawrence ranked fourth in total passing yards and had the fifth-lowest turnover-worthy play rate during the Jaguars' winning streak.
He also made significant plays with his legs, showcasing his versatility as a quarterback.
The Jaguars' offense averaged almost 33 points per game during their eight-game winning streak, with Lawrence at the helm.
So Lawrence's performance in 2025 sets him up for success in 2026, with his experience in Coen's offense providing a jumping-off point.
But the mock draft also highlights the value of other quarterbacks in the league, with several being taken early in the draft.
Lawrence's selection at 10th overall is a testament to his hard work and dedication to improving his game.
He was third in yards per pass attempt and second in passing touchdowns during the Jaguars' winning streak.
The 2026 season is shaping up to be an exciting one for Lawrence and the Jaguars, with high expectations after their strong finish in 2025.
Lawrence finished last season with impressive stats, including his ranking in total passing yards and yards per pass attempt.
