His athletic abilities are off the charts, but his passing game seems average. Does he have what it takes to play QB at the next level and if so, would he be available with our second round pick? I'm seeing him projected all over the place.
Saquon Barkley (if we get him with the second pick) and Jackson in an offense with OBJ and Engram would be tantalizing and I'd imagine a nightmare for DCs. His mobility would be a big plus for a weak OL and should open things up downfield. I'm sure our coaches can help him avoid big hits and learn to slide when possible.
Fire away!
Lamar Jackson's frame is 6'3", 213. And he'd be running A LOT. And getting hit A LOT. By NFL defenders.
If you want Lamar Jackson, you need to attach your backup quarterback preference, too. Because you're going to need a good one sooner than later.

Derek Carr was hurt this year. Cousins and Dalton aren't running quarterbacks.
Not sure what your point is.
Especially as possibly a lower pick.
Could open up trade down as an option (if it's not one already).
As for system... Pshaw. If he is the real deal you adjust.
In fact here is how Jackson compared to the 1st round runningbacks last year in carries per game over their carries. All while having a "slight frame" and never missing a game.
Mccaffery 17.22 cpg
Mixon 12 cpg
Fournette 19.25 cpg
Jackson 17.24 cpg
From what I have seen Jackson has accuracy issues that may prevent him from becoming an NFL pocket passer.
I think he needs to move to WR, and the sooner the better
I heard that teams wanted to see him workout as QB and WR during the combine. His body type reminds me of a WR than QB. But I am interested to see if he can play WR, not for us, but in general
