2021 NFL Mock Draft: Six quarterbacks go in first spherical, Bengals get Joe Burrow a playmaking WR

The Jets are the worst group in soccer. The Jets are taking Trevor Lawrence. We do not see this altering.

Gardner Minshew was sidelined with an damage and whereas Jake Luton regarded fairly good at occasions towards the Texans, he isn’t the Jags’ subsequent franchise QB. That will likely be Justin Fields, who may very nicely find yourself being the second participant drafted.

It will get fascinating if the Cowboys can discover their strategy to the second total decide. Would they contemplate Fields there? That is not a priority right here as a result of at No. 3 they seize arguably the perfect defensive participant on this draft class in Micah Parsons, who would solidify a protection that has performed nicely in latest weeks however struggled to get off the sector for a lot of the season.

In case you’re working from the premise that the Giants aren’t going to take a QB, that is best-case state of affairs. Land the highest deal with within the nation, pencil him in on the left facet, and slide 2020 first-rounder Andrew Thomas over to proper deal with.

Yep, that is proper, Mac Jones. He is had an unimaginable begin to the season and the mix of poise and deep-ball accuracy makes him NFL prepared, sentiments Soccer Staff presently do not share about 2019 first-rounder Dwayne Haskins.

Joey Bosa signed a long-term deal earlier than the season however Melvin Ingram may very well be a free agent within the spring and there isn’t any actual depth behind him in L.A. Paye is an athletic marvel who has flashed big-play capacity this season.

Tua regarded fairly good on Sunday, solely his second NFL begin. And reuniting him with faculty teammate Jaylen Waddle, my No. 1 WR proper now, may make the Dolphins QB much more harmful. Waddle is finished for the season after struggling an ankle damage however he’s nearly unstoppable when he is wholesome.

There are loads of unknowns with Lance as a result of he has so little expertise, however he has first-round athleticism and arm energy. Offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels may have loads of enjoyable drawing up performs to benefit from all of the issues Lance does nicely.

The Bengals are taking part in their method out of a top-5 decide, which suggests they will not have an opportunity to deal with the offensive line right here — or at the very least they’re going to have to provide it some critical thought; Joe Burrow would little question like to be reunited with LSU teammate Ja’Marr Chase.

To this point, so good within the Teddy Bridgewater experiment in Carolina. And if the Panthers are snug transferring ahead with Bridgewater for 2021 they may shift their focus to the O-line, which may have only one guard, Dennis Daley, beneath contract after the season. In the meantime, Wyatt Davis is the perfect inside lineman on this class and can be a Day 1 starter.

The Falcons lower Takk McKinley, their 2017 first-round decide, on Monday, which solely magnified their want at go rusher. Rosseau has opted out for 2020 however his breakout 2019 marketing campaign led to fifteen.5 sacks.

The Lions have loads of wants, and sure they drafted Jeffrey Okudah third total within the spring. Okudah has been inconsistent at occasions this season (we’re nonetheless assured he’ll be actually good) however regardless, Detroit nonetheless wants so as to add depth within the secondary and Patrick Surtain can be an ideal match.

Anthony Harris is on the franchise tag and it is unclear if he’ll return to Minnesota after the season. Moehrig, in the meantime, is quietly having a robust season; he excels in protection and may play each deep centerfield and nearer to the road of scrimmage.

Quarterback may very well be a consideration right here however as an alternative the Broncos concentrate on shoring up their secondary. Rookie CB Michael Ojemudia has been a nice shock and Farley, who has opted out, can be an enormous, bodily nook and as a transformed WR he has playmaking talents too.

Slater was dominant at left deal with in the course of the 2019 season, and he performed proper deal with the 2 seasons earlier than that. He additionally has the flexibility to line up inside and, in actual fact, his future could also be inside at guard.

The Bears are losing their protection as a result of they can not discover a quarterback. Wilson has been crimson sizzling by BYU’s 8-0 begin and has the kind of playmaking capacity Matt Nagy has been in search of. Wilson, in our thoughts, is the perfect components of the faculty variations of Baker Mayfield and Johnny Manziel.

Owusu-Koramoah is listed as a linebacker however you could find him everywhere in the area. He is having a fantastic 2020 marketing campaign and he can come off the sting and has the athleticism, velocity and alter of path to be an asset in protection.

Xavier Rhodes is having a robust 2020 marketing campaign however he is on a one-year deal. Meawhile, Campbell is an intriguing top/weight/velocity man, who will proceed to make his method up draft boards with one other robust season at Georgia.

The Eagles have once more been tormented by accidents this season. Greg Ward has stepped in (similar to he did final season) and Travis Fulgham has been downright dominant, however including a participant of Smith’s caliber additionally is sensible. For an thought of how good Smith is, contemplate this: he was most likely the perfect wideout on the Crimson Tide’s roster final season, and that roster included Henry Ruggs, Jerry Jeudy and Jaylen Waddle.

An damage ended Chandler Jones’ season and he’ll be a free agent after the 2021 season, and both method the Cardinals may use an explosive younger go rusher. Oweh, among the best athletes on this draft class, matches the outline.

Moses has been tentative at occasions this season as he recovers from an ACL damage that stored him on the sidelines for 2019. However when he returns to kind he is among the best defensive gamers on this class.

The Jags received their quarterback with their first first-rounder and now they add Pitts, who has Darren Waller-type dominant traits.

Maliek Collins and Jonathan Hankins are within the final 12 months of offers and Barmore, who wasn’t a starter till this season, continues to get higher every week.

Dangerous information: Corey Davis and Adam Humphries are within the ultimate 12 months of their present offers. Excellent news: AJ Brown is a grown man and is nearly unstoppable. Extra excellent news: Moore is electrical and would give the Titans one other playmaking wideout who additionally has return abilities.

Shaq Barrett is taking part in on the franchise tag so there aren’t any ensures he is again in 2021 and Jason Pierre-Paul has two years left on his deal. No defensive participant has improved his draft inventory like Ossai, who has been dominant for the Longhorns.

Identical to the Jags, the Jets get their franchise QB and add a big-play tight finish. Freiermuth is not as athletic as Pitts (nobody is) however he is TE1 in nearly every other draft class.

Matt Skura has struggled at occasions this season and he is within the ultimate 12 months of his deal. The Ravens would love a big-play broad receiver nevertheless it may very well be onerous to go on Humphrey, the anchor of a dominant offensive line at Oklahoma, the place he has protected Kyler Murray and Jalen Hurts, and now Spencer Rattler.

Bolton is without doubt one of the greatest gamers nobody talked a lot about heading into the SEC season and he is quietly been superb in 2020 too. Think about his velocity and explosiveness alongside Tremaine Edmunds.

Jaire Alexander is the NFL’s greatest CB, in response to PFF, however there’s little consistency elsewhere within the secondary. Kendrick, who remains to be studying the place, has been a standout on the Tigers protection by the primary half of the ACC calendar.

The Chiefs have only a few holes on offense however Kelechi Osemele is an unrestricted free agent after the season and Andrew Wylie will likely be a restricted free agent. Smith, who performed deal with earlier in his profession, is a street grader on the inside.

Drew Brees has limitations however that does not look like an obstacle as a result of he is nonetheless taking part in at a excessive stage. However ought to he determine to hold it up after the season, Trask, who has put up large numbers this season, can be an intriguing Plan B. He is comparatively quick on expertise although you would not realize it to observe him, he eliminates the ball shortly and precisely, and he not often makes errors. We’re guessing Sean Payton would welcome the possibility to work with Trask in New Orleans.

Leatherwood has been regular for the Crimson Tide this season and whereas he isn’t on the stage of former teammate Jedrick Wills, who’s now in Cleveland, he is improved annually. In Pittsburgh he’d be an insurance coverage coverage ought to the group not re-sign left deal with Alejandro Villanueva.
