The NFL draft is less than a week away, and the most unusual and unprecedented in league history will finally begin.
There’s little doubt that five quarterbacks will be selected in the first round, with most, if not all, likely going very early in the round. It’s expected the Jacksonville Jaguars will select former Clemson star quarterback Trevor Lawrence with the No. 1 pick. The New York Jets are expected to grab former BYU quarterback Zach Wilson. San Francisco 49ers’ head coach Kyle Shanahan has said they will select a quarterback. He didn’t say which quarterback and they have kept their decision secret.

Here is the latest NJ Advance Media NFL mock draft:
1. Jacksonville Jaguars: Trevor Lawrence, QB, Clemson
Future Pro Hall of Famer Peyton Manning told The Post and Courier’s Gene Sapakoff that he likes what he has seen out of Lawrence during his time at Clemson.
“He hasn’t plateaued at all from an incredibly successful freshman year,” Manning told Sapakoff. “And it looks like he can play the quarterback position in different ways: he can stay in the pocket, but he’s athletic and can run and move. The more you can do, certainly the better.”
