Mac Jones was deadly last season. He was #1 in the country in completions, completion percentage, passing yards, yards/attempt, adj yards/attempt, passing efficiency rating, total yards, and yards/play. On top of all that, he was a Heisman finalist, won the Davey O'Brien Award, won the Golden Arm Award, and lead an undefeated team to a national title.
I don't think it's that much of a stretch to consider him a top 3 or 5 pick, considering that other players (like Cam Newton and Joe Burrow) have also been drafted high after only one great year. The idea that playing on a team with other very good players disqualifying him from being drafted high is fricking stupid - Joe Burrow played on an equally talented, if not better in terms of depth, offensive unit than Jones did this past year. If Trevor Lawrence wasn't the media's poster child, Jones would probably be the #1 overall pick.

Well shite you’ve convinced me - I guess Jason White should’ve been the #1 draft pick back in 2005.
