NFL Mock Draft 2021 3.0

YET ANOTHER ACCURATE AND REALISTIC PREDICTION

1. Jacksonville – Trevor Lawrence, QB, Clemson

Jacksonville gets their franchise QB, next. 

2. New York Jets – Justin Fields, QB, Ohio State

New York could go Zach Wilson, but after Fields’s show on his 2nd Pro Day, Jets should go in a different direction.

3. San Francisco – Zach Wilson, QB, BYU

The 49ers planned Fields or Mac Jones at this pick. However, with Fields to the Jets, the Niners select Wilson.

4. Atlanta – Penei Sewell, OT, Oregon

The Falcons get some protection for Matt Ryan. 

5. Cincinnati – Ja’Marr Chase, WR, LSU

Cincy reunites Joey Burrow with former LSU teammate Chase, the best receiver in this draft class.

6. Miami – Rashawn Slater, OT, Northwestern

Miami passes on Devonta Smith for protection for Tua. 

7. Detroit – Micah Parsons, LB, Penn State

Detroit select the uber-talented linebacker from Penn to anchor their defense.

8. Carolina – Christian Darrisaw, OT, Virginia Tech

Carolina get protection for Sam Darnold/Teddy Bridgewater. 

9. Denver – Trey Lance, QB, North Dakota State

Drew Lock is the not the man in Denver. Lance is a monster on the field and in the training room.

10. Dallas – Kyle Pitts, TE, Florida

Jerry Jones is reportedly in love with Pitts and what’s not to like; he’s 6’6 and has 4’4 speed and he can block.

11. New York Giants – Jaylen Waddle, WR, Alabama

The Giants get a speedy weapon for Daniel Jones. 

12. Philadelphia – Patrick Surtain II, CB, Alabama

Philly needs a corner and why not get the best one in the class. 

13. Los Angeles Chargers – DeVonta Smith, WR, Alabama

This may be the lowest Smith will fall, but the Chargers get a stud at 13. 

14. Minnesota – Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, LB, Notre Dame

The Vikes may need a QB or lineman, but they get the versatile LB/S hybrid from the Fighting Irish.

15. New England – Jaycee Horn, CB, South Carolina

It’s unlikely that Stephon Gilmore returns to the Pats, so they get his replacement in Horn. 

16. Arizona – Alijah Vera-Tucker, OG, USC

Kyler Murray was one of the most sacked QBs in 2020, Tucker will fix this problem.

17. Oakland – Azeez Ojulari, EDGE, Georgia

Oakland has experienced pass rushing issues since Khalil Mack was traded. Ojulari is fast and strong, which is what the Raiders need.

18. Miami – Najee Harris, RB, Alabama

I swear I have an addiction with mocking Harris here, but he’s too much of a beast for Miami to pass up. 

19. Washington – Mac Jones, QB, Alabama

Jones’s fall lands him in Washington, who develops his talent by sitting him behind Ryan Fitzpatrick.

20. Chicago – Rashod Bateman, WR, Minnesota

With all the first round QBs gone, the Bears settle for the speedy Bateman.

21. Indianapolis – Gregory Rousseau, EDGE, Miami (FL)

Indy gets a big pass rusher from Miami.

22. Tennessee – Christian Barmore, DT, Alabama

Barmore can push through opposing O-lines like a knife through butter, just the type of player Mike Vrabel loves. 

23. New York Jets – Travis Etienne, RB, Clemson

The best running back, in my opinion. His receiving skills rival his rushing talent.

24. Pittsburgh – Greg Newsome II, CB, Northwestern

Newsome is probably the highest rising defensive player after a stellar season at Northwestern.

25. Jacksonville – Jaelan Phillips, EDGE, Miami (FL)

Jacksonville spent their first pick on their franchise quarterback and here they grab a big edge man.

26. Cleveland – Jamin Davis, LB, Kentucky

Davis is a big linebacker who can clog running lanes better than most of the other linebackers in this class.

27. Baltimore – Trevon Moehrig, S, TCU

Baltimore still has Deshone Elliot, who exceeded expectations at safety last year. However, he could use a running mate and Moehrig is that man.

28. New Orleans – Samuel Cosmi, OT, Texas

Protection for either Jameis Winston or Taysom Hill can’t hurt.

29. Green Bay – Caleb Farley, CB, Virginia Tech

Farley’s fall lands him in Green Bay, a team that could use his talents. Farley could improve beside Jaire Alexander (Kevin King). 

30. Buffalo – Javonte Williams, RB, North Carolina

Javonte’s brilliant Pro Day bumps him to the first round. The Bills Mafia will love this pick. 

31. Kansas City – Kwity Paye, EDGE, Michigan

Paye fell hard in this mock and would be a steal for the Chiefs.

32. Tampa Bay – Teven Jenkins, OT, Oklahoma State

TB12 needs some protection.
