2021 NFL Mock Draft
FINAL
Pick	Team	Player	Pos	School	Trade Terms
1	Jacksonville	Trevor Lawrence	QB	Clemson
	Jacksonville made this pick the second the Jets won their first game and Jacksonville moved into the #1 draft position.
2	NY Jets	Zach Wilson	QB	BYU
	The Jets made this pick as soon as they traded Sam Darnold
3	San Francisco	Mac Jones	QB	Alabama
	This pick is the big question mark - Fields, Lance or Mac.  The question is has Shanahan learned and evolved from his defeats or not.  If not, the pick is Mac Jones the least mobile, but most accurate.   If not, it is either Lance or Fields.  Recent info says it is not Fields.  We're betting on the pig-headed Shanahan and select Mac Jones
4	Atlanta	Kyle Pitts	TE	Florida
	Atlanta has had a major void at TE since Tony Gonzalez retired.  Matt Ryan (or his successor) needs someone to throw to now that Julio Jones is gone.  Pitts gives him another option
5	Cincinnati	Penei Sewell	OT	Oregon
	Cincinnati spent the number one pick in the draft last year on QB Joe Burrow.  He was doing fantastic until he got hurt.  Picking Penei Sewell here should help keep him upright this year.
6	Miami	Jamarr Chase	WR	LSU
	Miami moved up to get an offensive weapon - either Pitts or Chase.  Pitts is gone, so Chase gets selected here
7	Detroit	Devonta Smith	WR	Alabama
	Detroit gets the utimate weapon to pair with Kenny Golladay
8	Trade #1 - Washington	Trey Lance	QB	North Dakota St	Washington gets #8                               Carolina  gets #19, #74, #163, 2022 R1
	Washington gives up the farm to get their QB #1
9	Denver	Micah Parsons	LB	Penn St.
	Denver filled their need at CB with the signing of Fuller, so they go to their #2 need LB and grab the best LB in the draft
10	Dallas	Patrick Surtain	CB	Alabama
	CB is the number need and Surtain is the #1 guy.  He is from the SEC and the son of an NFL player which Jerry loves
11	Trade #2 LA Chargers	Rashawn Slater	OT	Northwestern	SD gets #11                                             Giants get #13 and #77
	After decades without a true LT the Chargers finally solve the problem
12	Philadelphia	Jaylen Waddle	WR	Alabama
	Philly needs a WR badly.  They traded down because they believe in Jalen Hurts and they need to see what he can do.  So they get him an elite WR to throw to
13	Trade#2 NY Giants	Kwitty Paye	Edge	Michigan
	NY Giants love their Edge guys and they fill a need with the best one in the draft
14	Minnesota	Christian Darrisaw	OT	Virginia Tech
	Minnesota grabs the last legit 1st round LT.  They have plenty of weapon, they need to keep Cousin upright to make it work
15	New England	Justin Fields	QB	Ohio St	See Pick #13
	New England gets their next QB.  His style is similar to cam Newton so the transition should be easy
16	Arizona	Jaycee Horn	CB	South Carolina
	Arizona has a major void to fill at CB with the departure of Patrick Peterson.  Horn is an elite CB prospect and the son of an all pro WR.  Problem solved
17	Las Vegas	Alijah Vera-Tucker	OL	USC
	The Raiders released unloaded most of their OL so they pick a guy who can play just about anywhere along the line
18	Miami	Jaelan Phillips	Edge	Miami
	Miami needs a pash rush so they pick the home town boy.  Phillips has injury issues but has the highest ceiling of all the edge rushers in this draft.  Miami has enough picks to take the risk
19	TRADE #1 - Carolina	Caleb Farley	CB	Virginia Tech	See Pick #7
	Carolina stops Farley's fall and fills a hole in their secondary
20	Chicago	Teven Jenkins	OT	Oklahoma St
	Chicago can solve a lot of their QB problems by fixing their OL.  Jenkins is a plug in RT that should help keep Trubisky upright and help in the run game as well
21	Indianapolis	Christian Barmore	DL	Alabama
	The combination of Buckner and Barmore in the middle is just too good to resist - especially when you have to stop Derek Henry to win the division
22	Tennessee	Elijah Moore	WR	Ole Miss
	Tennessee gave up on former R1 WR Corey Davis, so they find a replacement in the electrifying Moore
23	NY Jets	Azeez Ojulari	Edge	Georgia
	Robert Saleh is a defensive coach and he is in a division with lots of mobile QBs.  The middle of the Dline is fine, but he needs guys who can come of off the edge and chase  Allen and Tui down.  Phillips can do that.
24	Pittsburgh	Najee Harris	RB	Alabama
	Pittsburgh is going to get their running game going come Hell or high water.  In Harris they hope they find their solution.
25	Jacksonville	Jeremiah Owusu-Koramorah	LB	Notre Dame
	Jacksonville has needs at both Edge and Safety.  JOK can play both very well.  Versatility is a plus.  Jacksonville gets their man
26	Cleveland	Zaven Collins	LB	Tulsa
	Collins can line up at LB, Edge, or Safety and Cleveland can use help at all three positions.  My favorite player in the draft - he made more big plays on defense than anyone else.
27	Baltimore	Trevon Moehrig	S	TCU
	The Ravens have always had a dominating safety in their best years.  Now they have one.
28	New Orleans	Kadarius Toney	WR	Florida
	New Orleans needs a deep threat slot WR to show off Taysom Hill's arm and combine with Michael Thomas to create a dual threat.  Toney can do that.
29	Green Bay	Greg Newsome	CB	Northwestern
	Green Bay can put up points with the best teams in the league, but they can't stop other teams from scoring either.  Newsome is  a terrific pass defender who can help improve their leaky pass defense.  He won't offer much in run defense, so the Packers will have to compensate for that in other ways
30	Buffalo	Gregory Rousseau	Edge	Miami
	Rousseau entered the season as the #1 Edge prospect, but chose to opt out of the season.  His subsequent return at his pro day did not go well.  At this point in the draft, he is too good an opportunity to pass up
31	Baltimore	Liam Eichenberg	OT	Notre Dame
	The Ravens traded away their pro Bowl right tackle and although rumors persist that they will sign Villanueva after the draft, we believe they will draft an OT here to secure the position for the long term
32	Tampa Bay	Jason Oweh	Edge	Penn St.
	Tampa could go RB here with Etienne, but they have enough offense.  Stopping the New Orleans pass first offense is a high priority so they take the best Edge guy on the board.
