Easterling and Perez discuss how players like Rondale Moore (Purdue) and Gregory Rousseau (Miami) could be impacted by their decision to sit out the season and whether Trevor Lawrence's stance on the state of college football in 2020 makes sense.

The NFL Draft is always better when the first round is dominated by quarterbacks, and the 2021 class has a chance to be pretty special in that regard. Bryan and Luke discuss whether Clemson's Trevor Lawrence is as good as advertised and if Ohio State's Justin Fields is talented enough to challenge for the No. 1 overall pick. North Dakota State's Trey Lance is in the mix, too, although his projection isn't as certain.

The 2019 and 2020 NFL draft featured quarterbacks with the first overall pick in Kyler Murray (19) and Joe Burrow (20). Is Lawrence better than both of them? Listen to find out.
