Reader Mock Consensus Selections
2021 NFL Draft

The Jaguars obiously select Trevor Lawrence at No.1. I personally like Zach Wilson at least the same as Trevor Lawrence (maybe even a little more), but the thing is you cant screw this up if your are the Jaguars. Wilson had one outstanding year at BY ... read more...

2020 Record: 11-5, 3rd in AFC North 1 (26) Greg Newsome II Northwestern CB A+ 2 (20) Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah Notre Dame ILB A+ 3 (28) Anthony Schwartz Auburn WR A+ 4 (5) James Hudson Cincinnati OT A+ 4 (27) Tommy Togiai Ohio State DT A 5 (9) Tony Fie ... read more...

The Jets reportedly only traded Sam Darnold away because they are infatuated with Wilson. He's also the pick. Previous pick: Same

Robert Saleh has a more difficult decision to make with his QB situation than Urban Meyer. Saleh could opt to stick with Sam Darnold, which would make Penei Sewell or a trade down the most likely options. Should Saleh want his own QB, Fields and BYU' ... read more...

The Jets...need...everything. I mean EVERYTHING. They're in the exact same situation as the Jags, except they have a decision to make about their quarterback. Do they trust Sam Darnold? If the answer is no, Justin Fields or even Zach Wilson could be ... read more...

This is where the draft actually starts! It's a given that the pick will either be Mac Jones, Trey Lance, or Justin Fields. As of right now, I'm leaning towards Lance being the pick, given Shanahan's personal involvement in Lance's pro day. Honestly? ... read more...

Mac Jones seems like a QB that could fit in a Shanahan offense. He has pinpoint accuracy within the first 10 yards, times his throws very well and stays calm under pressure. The concerns for him are his elite supporting cast and that he has only star ... read more...

San Francisco were aggressive and made a move to upgrade on Garoppolo, considering that I don’t trust the Mac Jones rumors. He isn’t much different from Garoppolo because he is a limited athlete (arm and mobility). It think Lance or Fields would be ... read more...

Atlanta is going to try to trade out of this spot, I think, but I'm not sure anyone who has the capital to trade up to four is interested in it. Instead, Atlanta is forced to stay put and take the best player in the draft... not an awful consolation ... read more...

Atlanta is in a weird spot at four. It could be the first non-QB to get picked or they could keep the streak going as Matt Ryan is old AF and they need to find his successor. Fields and Jones are the only QBs left with first round grades and some ex ... read more...

TRADE with ATL - Considering that SF paid 2 first and 1 third for 1000 points (12th to 3rd) and MIA paid 1 first for 400 points (12th to 6th). Denver would need to give Atlanta major draft capital to beat teams like New England, Carolina, Las Vegas a ... read more...

The most pressing need on the Bengal's offense is the offensive line. Penei Sewell is an immensely talented prospect, who profiles as a very good left tackle. He and Jonah Williams can be a good pair of NFL bookends. Previous pick: Same

I've had Penei Sewell going to the Bengals ever since the 49ers traded up to #3; however, it appears the Bengals are going to listen to the wishes of Joe Burrow and draft his College WR, Ja'Marr Chase. I've been holding out changing this pick to Chas ... read more...

The Cincinnati Bengals are notoriously stubborn with draft needs. If Penei Sewell is off the board, I still see the Bengals taking an offensive lineman to protect Joe Burrow. Rashawn Slater seems to be a very controversial prospect; some scouts think ... read more...

The first half of the first round of this draft is going to be dominated by offensive players, especially the top ten. Chase is the top WR prospect in the class, and profiles as an excellent number one early in his career for Miami. He'll help Tua de ... read more...

The Dolphins wheel and deal and still come out with a steal? (Sorry). Reuniting Waddle with Tua would give him someone he trusts and can help him continue to develop.

Trading back was a great move, I mean who wouldn't love getting that much booty. Lotta junk in the trunk in Mee-ami. Trading back up to 6 is interesting though and the popular pick is Chase but they signed Fuller to pair with Parker/Williams and tha ... read more...

After Devonta Smith weighed in at under 170 lbs, I really don't think he's going in the top ten anymore. In fact, I think his teammate, Waddle, has surpassed him as a prospect. Detroit's in need of WR help, so they bring in the Alabama burner. Previ ... read more...

The Lions are due a complete re-build, shipping off Matthew Stafford for 2 1st round picks and a 3rd. They got Jared Goff in the deal too, and will kick the tyres with him. The Lions appear to be saving the cap space and draft capital to re-build and ... read more...

As another team that has expressed willingness to trade down, I wouldn't be surprised if the Lions did just that with a team in need of a QB. Detroit and New England are no strangers to doing business with each other and if Belichick wants to secure ... read more...

I'll be honest - I don't know if Trey Lance is a sure-fire answer at QB. Micah Parsons is a safer pick at a position of need for Carolina. But the chance to stand pat and take a QB here is too great for the Panthers to pass up.

Now that Darnold has been traded to the Panthers, I think there is a high likelihood that the Panthers will not be selecting a QB at #8. I'm not throwing the possibility completely out the window, especially if Fields or Lance are available (consider ... read more...

With Fields falling out of the top five, the Patriots pounce and get their man. (SHORT WRITE-UP DUE TO LATE CHANGE) Previous Pick: QB Justin Fields - Ohio State (Pick by Football Society) Previous pick: QB Trey Lance - NDSU (Pick by Houston)

I see Caleb Farley mocked to the Broncos so often that I think people forget to look at other options. Yes, Denver has needs at cornerback but that is not the only need on the team. From a BPA standpoint, I can see Denver selecting Micah Parsons. Vic ... read more...

*TRADE* After a trade back the Falcons can get better value at a position of need. They might prefer getting a pass rusher here but none are worthy.

Having just traded for Teddy Bridgewater, you might think they wouldn't follow that up with taking a QB, but if one falls to their laps, they have to consider it, right?

The first defensive player of the board is Patrick Surtain! Dallas's atrocious secondary got worse in free agency, and they need to bring at least one player in early in the draft . Previous pick: Same

Dallas has a stellar offense but with that defense they could lose the division. They need more talent. Horn was a big riser in 2020 because of his quality play on the SEC but still needs development. He could eventually be their CB1. He would be a r ... read more...

Dak Prescott’s injury didn’t have much to do with poor pass protection as much as it had to do with being at the wrong place at the wrong time. However, with Tyron Smith’s neck questionable, not to mention the amount of money invested in their offens ... read more...

There are rumors that Gettleman will be looking to maximize the weapons for Daniel Jones to get some improvement because his job will be tied to the QB's development

He is a Heisman trophy winner this year as a WR which tells you how gifted he is. Some may be concerned because of his frame but on Tape there is not one example where that would concern me.

Everything the Giants wants to do relies on Daniel Jones improving and Saquon Barkley returning to form. And that hinges on the o-line. Slater is versatile and highly coveted.

After the trade back, they still get a pass catcher for the new QB. Waddle and DeVanta Smith can be interchangeable, just depends on what teams have them ranked on their board

(see trade info w/ SF at Rd 1 Pick 4) The Falcons' trade down works splendidly, as they land a top-3 CB in Jaycee Horn to address a primary need. They also have two 1st rounders in 2022 to play with.

Philly was openly trying to trade up for Zach Wilson but then said “j/k Jalen you’re definitely our guy” when they whiffed. So they felt bad and asked Hurts which of the two Alabama wide outs he’d most likely swipe right on, he said “Waddle because ... read more...

The Chargers are thrilled with how this draft is falling, as the second best tackle in the class slips to them at 13. They'll sprint the pick to Goodell, and it's a good pick - Slater can solidify any spot on the line very quickly. Previous pick: Sa ... read more...

The Chargers pick up a massive tackle in Christian Darrisaw to up the protection for blossoming star Justin Herbert.

The Chargers did a good job upgrading their Offensive Line during Free Agency, but they could still stand to add a true LT for Justin Herbert. It's not the sexiest pick in the world, but when it appears you have found your Franchise QB, you must do a ... read more...

While I was making this iteration of my draft, I toyed with Minnesota and NYG swapping firsts, so that the Vikings could grab Slater ahead of the Chargers. In the end, though, I decided to leave the Vikings in place, and give them Alijah Vera-Tucker. ... read more...

I have a feeling that the Vikings will be looking to drop to the bottom half of the 1st Round in hopes of somehow gaining back the 2nd Round Pick they traded away, something that would obviously be easier to do if the draft board fell like this and M ... read more...

An extremely athletic defensive tackle who is a factor both as a pass rusher and run defender, Kwity Paye out of Michigan could potentially work himself into the top 10 with a strong pre-draft process. For now, I have him checking in at 14 with a Vik ... read more...

This might be the first trade up on draft day as Belicheat and Creepy Uncle Bob are desperately looking to get the last first round rated QB in this draft. Like with any break-up they just want to prove once and for all to Tom and Giselle that it wa ... read more...

Parsons has a very good scheme fit in New England. He also was one of the best run stoppers in all of college football, so he fixes that problem very well. He also is able to get around defenders fast with his strenght and speed.

Carolina snatches the draft's top EDGE from the jaws of the Giants, making Gettleman regret having traded down for the first time. (SHORT WRITE-UP DUE TO LATE CHANGE) Previous pick: S Trevon Moehrig - TCU (pick by Broncos)

The Cardinals can use this pick to try to replace Patrick Peterson. They might luck out and get the better CB if Farley comes back healthy.

Even though the Cardinals were able to nab Malcolm Butler in Free Agency, I still think they could use another CB across from him. I felt this way when I thought they would resign Patrick Peterson earlier in the offseason, and I continue to do so sin ... read more...

Collins is a 6'5, 260 Linebacker, but moves very well for his size and weight. He might not fit in every scheme, but i think he fits very well in Arizona.
