- Trevor Lawrence is heavily favored to be the number one overall pick in the NFL draft with -850 odds.
- NFL insider’s believer there is a chance that Trevor Lawrence could stay at Clemson another year if the Jets end up with the top pick.
CLEMSON, S.C. - With the NFL season in full swing through seven weeks, it is clear that the New York Jets are the bottom feeders of the league as they are the only winless team remaining in the league and have not shown any signs of life.
That being said, some concerns have been raised by NFL analysts that Trevor Lawrence should consider staying at Clemson if the Jets end up with the number one overall pick.
“Not only if I were a coach with options would I not want to be a coach with the Jets, but in all honesty, if I were Trevor Lawrence and the Jets had the first pick in the draft, you’d have to think long and hard about Clemson another year,” said Mike Greenberg of ESPN.
There is no question that Lawrence is the favorite to be selected first overall on NFL sportsbooks but if he does decide to stay at Clemson, NFL bettors should be looking at some of the longshot options as well.
2021 NFL Draft – 1st Overall Pick
- Trevor Lawrence -850
- Penei Sewell +850
- Justin Fields +950
- Trey Lance +2500
- Alex Leatherwood +6000
- Micah Parsons +6000
- Gregory Rousseau +7500
- Devonta Smith +12500
- Ja'Marr Chase +12500
- Jaylen Waddle +12500
- Travis Etienne +17500
This would certainly be the time for NFL bettors to take the chance on both Justin Fields and Penei Sewell’s NFL Draft odds as they are both NFL ready players and deserving of the top pick if Lawrence does opt to stay in Clemson.
Reasons Lawrence Could Stay And Leave Clemson
Being that the New York Jets are currently sitting in the number one overall pick spot, there are plenty of reasons for Trevor Lawrence to think long and hard about staying at Clemson another year.

The top reason being that the Jets are in a terrible position right now as they have no sense of direction. They are also possibly the worst team when it comes to developing young quarterbacks as they are currently on their third drafted quarterback of the decade.
Also, if Adam Gase is still the head coach of the New York Jets by next season, Lawrence staying at Clemson would seem like a no brainer as Gase has proven that he is not even capable of coaching a high school team.
If Joe Douglas decides to clean house, however, he could be in a prime position to pitch Lawrence to be drafted by them.
Lawrence would be put in a great situation where there would be a new coaching staff from top to bottom, a team that would have tons of young talent as they have 18 draft picks in the 2021 draft including nine in the first three rounds.
The Jets also have more than enough cap space available to show Lawrence that they are willing to spend top dollar on top free agents as they have $82 million in cap space this offseason.
Whether Lawrence stays at Clemson another year or does enter the draft, his decision will certainly have an effect on the NFL Draft and its odds.
