Ohio State football: 3 teams that should trade up for Justin Fields
By Ryan Stano
The former Ohio State football player will definitely be a first-round pick. These three teams should trade up to take him so they don’t miss out on his talent.
The Ohio State football team has a great track record of putting first-round picks into the NFL. In fact, no program has put more first-round picks into the NFL than Ohio State. Justin Fields will be the next one to have the distinction of being a first-rounder from Columbus.
Quarterback is the most important position on the field and is certainly a premium in the NFL. There are several teams that are in need of a quarterback. We know for certain that the first two picks will be quarterbacks, and we know Trevor Lawrence is going one overall. After that is a mystery.
The Jets will more than likely take Zach Wilson over Justin Fields, but there’s still a chance that they surprise people. The 49ers traded up to third overall in the Draft. Many think it’s to take one of the quarterbacks at the top. If that’s the case, some teams are going to be scrambling behind them.
There are three teams that should trade up to take Fields. If teams believe that San Francisco will draft Mac Jones, that means they can trade up to fourth to make sure they get their quarterback of the future. Fields will be that quarterback for some team and he will do great.
The first team is a team that we have said would be the perfect fit for Fields at the beginning of his career, even if most fans would hate to see him go there.
