STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Lamar Jackson should be reached for in first round, not deferred.

The source recommends reaching for Lamar Jackson in the first round as one of the elite quarterback options that should not be waited on, arguing that conventional wisdom to defer on quarterbacks is consistently wrong and that elite options deserve early draft capital.
