  1. Jacksonville Jaguars: Pat Freiermuth, TE, Penn State
    The Jaguars have some talented receivers, but nothing at tight end. Here’s a new weapon for Trevor Lawrence.

    Pat Freiermuth has great upside and athleticism.

  2. New York Jets: Javonte Williams, RB, North Carolina
    The Le’Veon Bell-Adam Gase marriage ended poorly. The Jets were so inept that they couldn’t even trade Le’Veon Bell, so they cut him. Pathetic!

    Javonte Williams is a quick and powerful runner who has shown good receiving ability.

    Pick change; previously Travis Etienne, RB

  3. Atlanta Falcons: Landon Dickerson, C, Alabama
    The Falcons lost Alex Mack this offseason. They have 2020 third-rounder Matt Hennessy to fill that role, but they also have a huge void at left guard, so one of Hennessy or Landon Dickerson could be slotted there.

    Dickerson transferred from Florida State and ended up being a solid run blocker for the Tide.

  4. Miami Dolphins: Trevon Moehrig, S, TCU TCU
    The Dolphins have a stacked group of cornerbacks, but they could stand to get better at safety.

    Trevon Moehrig is a hybrid safety-linebacker who was impressive to close out his collegiate career.

    Pick change; previously Javonte Williams, RB



  5. Philadelphia Eagles: Eric Stokes, CB, Georgia
    The Eagles have endured some glaring cornerback issues over the past several seasons, so they could use an early draft pick on the position.

    Pick change; previously Tyson Campbell, CB

  6. Cincinnati Bengals: Terrace Marshall Jr., WR, LSU
    The Bengals might select one of Joe Burrow’s LSU receivers, but what if it’s not Ja’Marr Chase?

    Terrace Marshall has nice size (6-3, 200), speed and route-running ability.

    Pick change; previously Gregory Rousseau, DE

  7. Carolina Panthers: Liam Eichenberg, OT, Notre Dame
    The Panthers must protect their new quarterback, whether that’s Deshaun Watson or Trey Lance.

    Liam Eichenberg took over at left tackle in the wake of Mike McGlinchey’s departure to the NFL. He could sneak into the first round.



  8. Denver Broncos: Aaron Robinson, CB, Central Florida Central Florida
    The Broncos are looking for a cornerback in the early stages of the 2021 NFL Draft to help them combat Patrick Mahomes.

    Aaron Robinson is a big corner (6-1, 193) who tackles well.

  9. Detroit Lions: Joe Tryon, DE, Washington
    The Lions had severe issues stopping the run last year. They also need to improve their pass rush. Focusing on their weak defensive line should be a priority.

    Joe Tryon came out of nowhere to have a breakout 2019 campaign. He has a nice frame (6-5, 262) and tons of upside to be an impactful edge rusher in the NFL.

  10. New York Giants: Jalen Mayfield, OT, Michigan Michigan
    The Giants may draft Rashawn Slater if the top receivers are off the board. It’s more likely that they’ll address their offensive line in the second round.

    Jalen Mayfield did a great job against Chase Young late in 2019, showcasing his athletic potential.

    Pick change; previously Eric Stokes, CB



  11. San Francisco 49ers: Gregory Rousseau, DE, Miami Miami
    The 49ers are no strangers to spending premium draft picks on edge rushers. They may want better depth there after what transpired last year.

    Gregory Rousseau logged double-digit sacks as a redshirt freshman in 2019. He was compared to Calais Campbell entering Miami. However, teams don’t think he has explosive ability and could fall as a consequence.

    Pick change; previously Carlos Basham, DE/DT

  12. Dallas Cowboys: Jevon Holland, S, Oregon
    The Cowboys have a weak secondary, so they could address it with their first two picks in the 2021 NFL Draft.

    Jevon Holland has tremendous instincts as a very talented play-maker, though he needs to improve his tackling.

  13. Jacksonville Jaguars: Josh Myers, C, Ohio State
    Here’s one more offensive line upgrade for the Jaguars, who need to protect Trevor Lawrence at all cost.



  14. New England Patriots: Kellen Mond, QB, Texas A&M
    Bill Belichick passed on all the quarterbacks in the 2020 NFL Draft. I imagine he won’t be doing that again.

    Kellen Mond was inconsistent throughout his Texas A&M career, but he has shown improvement in accuracy.



  15. Los Angeles Chargers: Rashad Weaver, DE, Pittsburgh
    The Chargers lost Melvin Ingram, so here’s a new pass rusher to start across from Joey Bosa.

    Rashad Weaver has good size (6-5, 270) and athleticism. He’s rebounded well after missing all of 2019 with an injury.

  16. Las Vegas Raiders: Levi Onwuzurike, DT, Washington Washington
    The Raiders must use many selections to upgrade the many holes on their defense, including their front, which lost Maurice Hurst.






  17. Arizona Cardinals: Tyson Campbell, CB, Georgia Georgia
    If the Cardinals can’t get one of the top two cornerbacks at No. 16, they’ll certainly target a player at the position with this pick.

    Tyson Campbell is a very strong, physical cornerback with great size (6-2, 180).

    Pick change; previously Joseph Ossai, DE/OLB

  18. Miami Dolphins: Spencer Brown, OT, Northern Iowa
    The Dolphins need to give Tua Tagovailoa as much protection as possible in the wake of his struggles in his rookie year.

  19. Washington Redskins: Jabril Cox, LB, LSU
    The Redskins have an elite defensive line and talented secondary, but their linebacking corps must be upgraded.



  20. Chicago Bears: Davis Mills, QB, Stanford
    The Bears can’t be serious with having Andy Dalton as their starting quarterback in 2021. They’re going to spend an early draft choice on a quarterback, and I believe they would do so at No. 20 if one of the top five signal-callers is available. Given that Andy Dalton is considered the starter at the moment, the Bears may even trade up for a quarterback, even if it’s for a younger version of Dalton.

    In this scenario, Chicago couldn’t get one of the top five quarterbacks, so it will likely use this pick on a signal-caller.

    Pick change; previously Jalen Mayfield, OT

  21. Tennessee Titans: Carlos Basham, DE/DT, Wake Forest Wake Forest
    Tennessee needs to improve every area of its defense, and that includes the lackluster defensive line.

    Carlos Basham always stuffed the run well, but his pass rush improved tremendously from 2018 to 2019.

    Pick change; previously Andre Cisco, S




  22. Indianapolis Colts: Sam Cosmi, OT, Texas
    The Colts will need to somehow replace Anthony Castonzo, who opted to retire this offseason.

    Sam Cosmi is very athletic, but is considered raw at the moment. He appears to have added strength in 2020.

  23. Pittsburgh Steelers: Creed Humphrey, C, Oklahoma
    The Steelers need to rebuild their offensive line. It lost three starters this offseason, including Maurkice Pouncey.

  24. Seattle Seahawks: D’Ante Smith, OT, East Carolina
    Russell Wilson’s camp has expressed frustration about Seattle not protecting him properly. The Seahawks could pick D’Ante Smith after trading down a couple of times.

  25. Los Angeles Rams: Dan Moore, OT, Texas A&M
    The weak point of the Rams’ defense is the linebacking corps, which will likely be addressed this offseason.



  26. Kansas City Chiefs: James Hudson, OT, Cincinnati
    The Chiefs traded for Orlando Brown, but they could still use another tackle upgrade.

    Pick change; previously Terrace Marshall Jr., WR

  27. Cleveland Browns: Tutu Atwell, WR, Louisville
    It remains to be seen if the Browns will retain Odell Beckham Jr., or if they’ll release him.

    Tutu Atwell projects as a slot receiver in the NFL after showing play-making ability in 2020.



  28. New Orleans Saints: Rashod Bateman, WR, Minnesota
    The Saints just cut Emmanuel Sanders, so he’ll need to be replaced.

    Rashod Bateman runs routes well, but there’s question about his ability to separate.

  29. Buffalo Bills: Brevin Jordan, TE, Miami
    The Bills have stated that they want to upgrade tight end this offseason. They can do that with this pick.

    Brevin Jordan looks to be the next great Miami tight end. He’s drawn comparisons to Evan Engram. He’s extremely fast.

  30. Green Bay Packers: Wyatt Davis, G, Ohio State
    Green Bay’s offensive line is a mess in the wake of some departures in free agency. Here’s some help.

    Wyatt Davis is a tough run blocker with nice size.

  31. Kansas City Chiefs: Trey Hill, C/G, Georgia
    The Chiefs have severe problems on the offensive line, so they could spend their first two picks addressing their blocking.

    Hill put himself on the first-round map when he handled Derrick Brown impressively in 2019.

  32. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Rondale Moore, RB/WR, Purdue
    The Buccaneers have filled all of their major needs by re-signing everyone. They have the luxury of spending this pick on a dynamic gadget weapon.

    Rondale Moore is a very intriguing weapon. He accumulated 1,367 yards as a freshman by both running and receiving. Some NFL team is going to figure out a great way to use the extremely talented 175-pounder.
