In this mock, Fields is QB2 (as he always should have been) to San Francisco after the Jets take Micah Parsons @2. I’ll never understand how Zach Wilson and Trey Lance were taken over Fields, but I’m glad they were!

Completely agreed, I have no idea how time and time again the experts over think these things.
The short memory of the league is great. First five games of the season Fields and Lawrence were both busts. Next five games Fields was the best QB of the '21 draft. Then Lawrence finishes strong and he’s finally arrived as the franchise QB. I’m not saying he won’t be, but that wasn’t the narrative for his rookie season nor the first half of last season.
Not to mention the first half of that playoff game where he threw 3? 4? interceptions… we don’t talk about that.
Also situation matters - can you imagine Fields on that 49ers team? They have a great roster despite burning 3 first rounders on a guy who hasn’t played at all. Put Fields with that OL and those weapons and that defense and they’d be Super Bowl favorites.
