Tagovailoa, Lawrence, and the CFB Players with Future No. 1 Pick Potential

Tua Tagovailoa and Trevor Lawrence battled each other for the national championship this past January and may well have a rematch, but they won't need to compete for the honor of first player selected in the NFL draft. Assuming both players declare when first eligible, Tagovailoa could go No. 1 in 2020, with Lawrence following suit in 2021.

There's a lot of football to be played between now and then, though, and there are a bunch of players talented enough to get drafted before those two stars.

Based on how NFL teams have been drafting lately, quarterbacks are the primary candidates for the top spot.
