Post your mocks here! Obviously we can do one as a group down the line too , but I've had some thoughts and wanted to see what I could do with some trades. 

1. Jacksonville Jaguars - Trevor Lawrence , QB , Clemson - It's been the pick forever now and is going to be the pick come the draft. No need to get cute here. 

2. New York Jets - Zach Wilson , QB , BYU - There's been a ton of smoke around the Jets taking Wilson and I think it's going to come to fruition , not what I necessarily agree with but it seems logical right now. More to come later. 

3. Miami Dolphins - Devonta Smith , WR , Alabama - Reunited with Tua and brought in to be a compliment type to Parker. They could go any receiver here but I think Smith might win out. 

4. Atlanta Falcons - Justin Fields , QB , Ohio State - The Falcons are in trouble with their cap and holes on their roster. Smith is going to want to bring in a more athletic prospect and Fields would be well served sitting for a year behind next year cap casualty Matt Ryan. 

5. Cincinnati Bengals - Penei Sewell , OT , Oregon - Mocked a ton and it makes the most sense. The Bengals have to get someone to protect Burrow and Sewell is a day one starter. 

6. Philadelphia Eagles - Jamar Chase , WR , LSU - The word came from the owner that they are to build around Hurts. They could go Alabama here again but getting the best receiver on the board is something they need to look at. 

7. New England Patriots (via trade with Lions) - Mac Jones , QB , Alabama - I think the Patriots are going to target Jones in the draft , the Saban connection and Jones being the type of QB that they would love to mold behind his leadership and character seems like the right move. *New England trades #15 , a 2nd round pick a fourth round pick and a future 2nd round pick*

8. Houston Texans (via Trade with Panthers) - Trey Lance , QB , ND State - I think a trade for Watson happens and the Panthers seem to be in the lead right now. The Texans turn the pick into Lance who is an incredibly high upside prospect who would give their new head coach visions of Lamar Jackson all over again ... a QB he just left in Baltimore. *Houston trades Watson to Panthers for three 1st round picks and conditional picks next year*

9. Denver Broncos - Micah Parsons , LB , Penn State - The Broncos missed out on the QB run and they have the offensive weapons on offense that they don't need to take another this high. Parsons is arguably the best defensive player in the draft and would be an instant leader and playmaker on Fangios defense. 

10. Dallas Cowboys - Trevon Moehrig , S , TCU - The Cowboys need defensive backs in the worst ways and could also go corner here , but they've needed a safety for years and Moehrig is the protype safety for 2021 NFL defenses. 

11. New York Giants - Jaylen Waddle , WR , Alabama - The Giants need a receiver over a tight end with Engram still on the roster and lucked out with Waddle falling as result of the QB run. Instant starter on offense. 

12. New York Jets (via trade with 49ers) - Kyle Pitts , TE , Florida - Pitts was falling too far and in some scouts eyes he is the top pass catcher in the draft. The Jets draft their QB of the future and get him a dynamic weapon right away. *The Jets trade #23 to 49ers for #12 and Sam Darnold*

13. Los Angeles Chargers - Rashawn Slater , OT , Northwestern - The Chargers could potentially lose 80% of their offensive line in free agency and need to draft bodies there. Slater is incredibly smart and could play inside or outside in the NFL. 

14. Minnesota Vikings - Kwity Paye , Edge , Michigan - The Vikings defense fell off a ton in 2020 and they lacked natural pass rushers. Paye is a raw physical freak who Zimmer could coach into being the next 15 sack guy. 

15. Detroit Lions (via New England) - Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah , LB , Notre Dame - The Lions have plenty of holes on their roster , but especially defense and JOK would come in and bring a hard hitting attitude to their defense and be a difference maker in the vein of Darius Leonard. 

16. Arizona Cardinals - Caleb Fairly , CB , Virginia Tech - Patrick Peterson might be on his way out and the Cardinals already needed secondary help last year. Fairly opted out last season but was the nations top cover guy in 2019. 

17. Las Vegas Raiders - Jaycee Horn , CB , South Carolina - A Raider type player with his physicality and attitude , Horn is my favorite corner in the draft and the Raiders have to start combatting the young QB's in the AFC West. 

18. Miami Dolphins - Gregory Rosseau , Edge , Miami (FL) - They got their young QB a weapon early on and now they get Flores a piece to play with on defense , much in the same mold as a Chandler Jones he had in New England. |

19. Washington Football Team - Rashod Bateman , WR , Minnesota - The WFT had a solid defense in 2020 and no matter who they choose as QB going forward ... he is going to need some weapons around him aside from McClaurin. Bateman is the best route runner in the draft and should be capable of contributing right away. 

20. Chicago Bears - Christian Darrisaw , OT , Virginia Tech - No matter who is quarterback in 2021 they need to start protecting better and giving Montgomery holes in the running game. 

21. Indianapolis Colts - Patrick Surtain Jr. , CB , Alabama - The Colts defense was the strength of their team last year and they could lose a few starters in the secondary. Surtain would slide right in perfectly. 

22. Tennessee Titans - Christian Barmore , DL , Alabama - The Titans defense was terrible last year , it started up front - Barmore is the best DT in the draft and would make a nice pairing with Simmons. 

23. San Francisco 49ers (via Jets) - Jayson Oweh , Edge , Penn State - The 49ers were crushed by injuries in 2020 , especially on defense. Oweh is a giant boom or bust prospect but if he hits - he and Bosa will dominate offenses for years to come. 

24. Green Bay Packers (via Pittsburgh) - Teven Jenkins , OT , Oklahoma State - The Packers are going to want to try and continue their offensive line player in both running and passing games. Jenkins is a natural RT but could slide in LT early on while Bahk gets healthy. 

25. Jacksonville Jaguars - Azeer Ojulari , Edge , Georgia - The Jaguars need pieces everywhere , and need to get the speed back on the defense that they had during their improbable run a few years back. 

26. Cleveland Browns - Zaven Collins , LB , Tulsa - Collins is a freak athlete at his size and can help in any number of ways for the Browns defense. 
 
27. Baltimore Ravens - Alijah Vera Tucker , OL , USC - The Ravens need to get back to being more physical on the offensive line , injuries and retirements really took their toll on the entire offense last year. 

28. New Orleans Saints - Elijah Moore , WR , Ole Miss - The Saints really struggled at the receiver position with Thomas out last year , Moore is probably the best slot in the draft and would give Winston (or Hill) a nice option in the middle. 

29. Pittsburgh Steelers - Kyle Trask , QB , Florida - A late quarterback does go off the board , Big Ben might only be back for one more season and they are going to need to plan for the future. Trask could really benefit from sitting a year. 

30. Buffalo Bills - Jaelen Phillips , Edge , Miami - The Bills defense took a step back in 2021 and it wasn't all due to secondary , their front seven really failed them - especially on the line. 

31. Kansas City Chiefs - Samuel Cosmi , OT , Texas - The Chiefs offensive line failed Mahomes when it mattered most and was an issue all season. Cosmi is game ready and used to pass protecting. 

32. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Rondale Moore , WR , Purdue - The Bucs could lose both Godwin and Brown in their passing attack and Moore would be nice slot to keep Brady's weapons stocked. 

That would be an insane Jets draft even if it sucks to say goodbye to Sam. No shot Pitts falls that far based off the hype he's garnered as the can't miss prospect and top talent even over Lawrence to scouts.

Depends on what happens in FA but figure a RB goes at 34 like Etteine or Najee Harris and that's a sick rookie core.

I figured it could be plausible he or a WR falls , especially if 4 quarterbacks go early. Was just having a little fun with the Jets draft and finding a way for them to get back up the board.

And Darnold to SF makes sense and using Sam to move back up would be a interesting twist.

I think Chase will go before Smith, Pitts will go inside the top 10, I'd be surprised if Dallas pass on Fairley/Surtain, and Najee Harris will go in the first round.

All possible but I liked the way this one fell.

Cowboys could go anywhere in the secondary , depends on who they have higher.

Smith is the best receiver in the draft , Chase could be the pick too.

I know this isn’t really mock drafting but I don’t want the Giants to draft a WR. I think Kenny Golloday would be perfect for the Giants. Allen Robinson makes sense going to Washington. Maybe Juju to the Jets so he can dance at the Big Apple or whatever he does. I also think Aaron Jones to Atlanta makes a lot of sense also.

Free agency changes everything with mock drafts. I really want Smith in NY but I can’t see the Jets drafting a superstar WR because that’s not what they do. They’ll draft a QB and make a mess with Darnold and a rookie QB.

Robinson got the tag, if he goes elsewhere it's via trade. And I don't think Juju works if Darnold is gone, he probably goes wherever Darnold goes. Heck Washington.

Jets should get Samuel out of Carolina. Pay the Panthers back for stealing Robbie Anderson.

I didn’t know Robinson got the tag. 

The Jets overpaying for Curtis Samuel is exactly the Jets thing to do. 😂 

Curtis Samuel is tailor made for the Shanahan offence.

Do they need Curtis Samuel though? I don't think so. They have enough weapons, but just didn't have health on their side. 

The Jets are the franchise stupid enough to overpay for him because he had a solid year, but they wouldn't even know what to do with him.

I'm a hard pass on Curtis Samuel.

He hasn't been given a chance because he's behind DJ Moore & Robby Anderson but he has insane speed, is a dual threat target and despite the lack of size gets open and can make plays out of nothing. Jets need true speed at WR. Think he's only 24, would be a good deal if it isn't a ridiculous overpay.

@admin was referring to Jets there because we hired Saleh who hired one of the right hand men of Shanahan, Mike LaFleur.

I thought he was referring to Samuel going to San Francisco.

I would much rather the Jets grab Juju then Samuel OR maybe grab Juju AND Samuel. But if they're going to stick with Darnold, then grab Smith #2 overall in the draft. No need to go QB if you want to build an actual offense around Darnold to give him a better chance. 

He's not that type of player though , the reason I want him for the Packers and why @admin I assume makes the connection to the Shanahan offense is because of the versatility and motion pre snap. He can start in the backfield , motion out , motion back in , take the Jet sweet and run a route from a multiple of positions and you HAVE to account for him because he is so dynamic.

I wouldn't say he didn't get a chance , he had over 1000 total yards this year and picked up a lot from the Cmac injury and shined (I thought).

He's never going to be a traditional receiver , he isn't going to line up outside and beat guys 1 on 1 consistently and be a #1 target. He's going to create a ton of mismatches though out of the backfield and through motion.

The problem is the Jets are dumb enough to pay him like a #1 WR and try and use him as a #1 WR. He did have a solid year, but that had a lot to do with CMC being injured and Bridgewater not being that great.

I meant more so at WR, the team that pays him big will presumably feature him more on the offense all around. 

Him and Carl Lawson of the Bengals are the two guys I would love the Jets to spend their ridiculous cap on this offseason. Nothing to make them top of the line players paid in their position but still healthy commitments.

He deserves a payday but I won't get into a bidding war with the guy. From Brooklyn NY, Jets need playmakers on offense. Especially if they go QB at 2. Jets have to be easily the slowest team last year, Perriman(who is a FA) was the only guy who had any kind of trek. 

I'm just saying he shouldn't be featured as a receiver , I just don't think that's really him. The CMAC injury this year proved what he was best.

I would imagine in the right situation , on a good offense he could end up with 300ish rush yards and 750 receiving yards and 6 or so touchdowns. That's just my vision of him.

If Jets take a RB in their 1st 3(or 4 if Darnold goes for a 2) picks, I would love Ettiene or Najee Harris in the backfield with Crowder & Samuel flying in there with Mims as the big guy and if we can find SOMETHING AT TIGHT END we got options. Joe Douglas has the cap space and the picks to help this roster, I expect an offense actually watchable this year, anything less means the seat should get hot for him.

I probably should have had the Steelers take Harris in this draft , they need someone better than James Connor but they also need to figure out the future too. They go 10-6 this season , Ben retires , they picking in the late teens with no QB prospect in sight and now set themselves back two years.

I just hate doing that in the first round , running backs can be found a lot of places or later in the draft. Yes they can be early too but they are probably the easiest pieces to pick up later.

Even if I've pounded the table for it in the past. And guys like Jacobs have panned out.


Of the Top 20 running backs last season in yards , only three were first round picks and the highest one of those was Jacobs at 8. The top seven running backs in the NFL ranged from 2nd round to undrafted.

Stretch that out to 45 running backs and the number only goes up by one. Four first round running backs in the Top 45. Now granted thats also because less backs go in the first round but that can be attributed to teams learning to take backs later , sometimes multiple ones.

Now also that number is because Barkley and CMAC were out with injury , but that's also kind of the point. I didn't hate either pick of those guys either but I thought they were truly special and offense changing.

Yes I was agreeing with Kid's concerns that a team may pay Curtis Samuel a lot of money and live to regret it because they don't have the coaching staff to utilise his talents - but that the Jets probably aren't that team because of who they have now. If I were NYJ I'd much rather him than Juju and I imagine they'd see it the same way.

I think Najee Harris will go in the first round because he is the definition of a do it all back. He can run through you, around you, and he's a great pass catcher. Matt Forte (who he's been compared to) was on MTS and talked about how a lot of backs catch passes off screens but if you've got a guy who can genuinely run routes up the field that's when you can become a real matchup nightmare and that's something Harris has in his locker.

He's a great prospect , but even Saquon has had to give teams even more pause about taking backs to early. Especially when the best RB's in the NFL last year were:

Henry (2nd)
Cook (2nd)
Jones (4th)
Chubb (2nd)
Kamara (3rd)

You're going to be right , a team is going to take him and he might even be great - but I'm subscribing more and more to the fact that running backs should never be taken in the first round. And I loved Saquon and was on board with him being taken , but running backs have a shorter career than anyone and Barkley is off to a rough start with injury luck.

And I loved Saquon and was on board with him being taken , but running backs have a shorter career than anyone and Barkley is off to a rough start with injury luck. 

There's a big difference between drafting a RB in the top 10 and the end of the first round though. As you say there was plenty of opposition to drafting Saquon #2 at the time and those concerns have obviously been bared out. Picking that highly means you are basically committed to signing them to a second contract and we know with durability that often comes back to bite teams because backs can go from elite to ineffective basically over night. If you're picking where the Steelers are for instance though, I think it's perfectly reasonable to grab the #1 guy at the position - drafting in the first round means you have the fifth year option and then a potential sixth year of control with the franchise tag before you have to commit long term. I have a feeling that is what we might see with Josh Jacobs. 4/5 years of strong contributions seems like a perfectly reasonable result from a pick in the 20s.

You mention Jacobs , he’s pretty much the only late 1st round running back I can think of that hasn’t completely washed out.

I’m sure I’m missing one but even more to my point , if he’s not an elite prospect than why not just wait and use that pick on a more pressing position.

Running backs used to be the thought of as the easiest projection , but I don’t see it that way anymore.

The option point is a good one usually applied to QBs.

1. Jacksonville Jaguars - Trevor Lawrence , QB , Clemson - Foregone conclusion. Top of the draft is no fun to even discuss at this point. 

2. New York Jets - Zack Wilson , QB , BYU - Same as Lawrence. The Jets have already made the decision. 

3. San Francisco 49ers - Mac Jones , QB , Alabama - I don't necessarily agree with this pick , I can't believe it wouldn't be Justin Fields especially after Shanahan's comments about quarterbacks but most signs point to it being Jones. Either way Shanahan will definitely be the guy to get the most out of him in the pros. 

4. Denver Broncos (via Falcons) - Trey Lance , QB , North Dakota State - This is where the draft gets interesting , I don't think the Falcons want to pick here and by all accounts they are looking to trade down. The Broncos under Elway have struck out on QB1 after QB1 and I don't see why he would be afraid to take yet another swing at a guy with the tools and upside of Lance who could challenge the underwhelming Lock from day one. 

5. Cincinnati Bengals - Jamar Chase , WR , LSU - It could be Chase or Pitts or even Sewell but rumors have it that the Bengals are locked in on a pass catcher and although I would understand the Pitts pick as well - I think Chase wins out in a coin toss over anyone due to his Burrow connections. 

6. Miami Dolphins - Kyle Pitts , TE , Florida - Pitts falls a few spots but not past the Dolphins who are going to take the top playmaker on the board here IMO. Pitts and Gesicki would make a hell of a duo at tight end and pair nicely with Fuller and Parker on the outside giving Tua a plethora of weapons at his disposal. 

7. New England Patriots (via Lions) - Justin Fields , QB , Ohio State - I still think a trade with the Lions is likely as well for a QB needy team. The Patriots have done a decent job of filling needs in free agency allowing them to play with the draft more. I can't imagine they think they will be in range to target a Top 10 QB prospect again so they need to strike here and secure there quarterback of the future who I think is the third best in the class. 

8. Carolina Panthers - Penei Sewell , OT , Oregon - The Panthers need to sure up their offensive line and get the fortunate bounce here of teams opting for playmakers and quarterbacks. They have nothing at left tackle and Sewll should be a Day 1 starter. Even if it's not Sewell falling I would be shocked if the Panthers didn't take a tackle here. 

9. Atlanta Falcons (via Broncos) - Rashawn Slater , OT , Northwestern - The Falcons trade down and still fill a giant need. Arthur Smith is going to want to run the ball early and often but to do that he has to fix the offensive line. Slater provides positional versatility on the line with elite upside at tackle. 

10. Dallas Cowboys - Patrick Surtain II , CB , Alabama - The Cowboys need corners , Surtain has emerged as the best in the class. Easy marriage. 

11. New York Giants - Kwity Paye , DE , Michigan - I get sick of mocking a linemen to the Giants in every draft , I think they can address that need later and focus on rebuilding a pass rush that's missed an elite edge talent for years. 

12. Philadelphia Eagles - Jaycee Horn , CB , South Carolina - The Eagles could go playmaker here as well but some beat writers think Smith is going to be completely off their board. Horn is an elite upside man coverage guy who should be able to start right away for the Eagles and belong. 

13. San Diego Chargers - Jaylen Waddle , WR , Alabama - Crazy to see him go before Smith but I think Waddle would be a fascinating fit with the Charagers and bring something they don't have to their receiving corps and pair nicely with Allen and Williams. Bubble screens , fly routes , RAC - Justin Herbert and Waddle could make a beautiful connection. 

14. Minnesota Vikings - Christian Darrisaw , OT , Virginia Tech - The Vikings would have loved to see Paye fall I think but they also need to eventually do something along their offensive line. Darrisaw is a little high here but would fill a need. 

15. Detroit Lions (via New England) - Devonta Smith , WR , Alabama - The Lions trade back and still get a guy they may have been targeting at the 7th pick. Smith is my favorite receiver in the draft and I think he is going to be awesome but reports are that some teams are flat taking him off the board because of his size. I don't see the Lions doing that and he would be a perfect fit for Jared Goff who loves the screen and short game. 

16. Arizona Cardinals - Alijah Vera-Tucker , OL , USC - The Cardinals I think want a playmaker at receiver but they all went and this is a pretty deep draft for the position. Instead they upgrade their offensive line with Tucker who is versatile on the inside and may even be able to play RT. 

17. Las Vegas Raiders - Jayson Oweh , Edge , Penn State - This seems like a total Raiders pick , and even a bit of a reach but Oweh is probably the most gifted defensive end in the draft and the Raiders need every single position on defense and like to go for upside. They aren't afraid to target their guy early either under the Mayock era. 

18. Miami Dolphins - Azeez Ojulari , Edge , Georgia - I think the mini run on edge happens at some point with all these guys lumped together. Ojulari is one of my favorite players in the draft , capable of playing on every down and a great fit for what Flores wants on defense. 

19. Green Bay Packers (via Washington) - Greg Newsome III , CB , Northwestern - From the analytics of the history of Green Bay drafts , Greg Newsome grades out the highest of what they have went for in the first round and aren't afraid to trade up and get. They have to get ahead of rival Chicago , the Jets and Titans I think in order to snag Newsome but he would be a welcome addition to the cornerback position opposite Jaire. 

20. Chicago Bears - Trevon Moehrig , S , TCU - Not the flashiest pick but the Bears have so many holes that it makes sense to go BPA and Moehrig might be that whilst also filling a need. They could go OT or Farley here too. 

21. New York Jets (via Colts) - Caleb Farley , CB , Virginia Tech - Farley is a hard one to gauge in the draft , I think the Jets try to leap the Titans to secure a top cornerback with this second pick and while Farley does come with healthy concerns , a team with two first round picks should be willing to make that gamble more. 

22. Tennessee Titans - Christian Barmore , DL , Alabama - I think the Titans get snuffed at corner here and decide to shore up their front seven. Barmore isn't the sexy pick but he and Simmons would make for a hell of a tandem on a team that loves to run multiple fronts. 

23. Indianapolis Colts - Teven Jenkins , OT , Oklahoma State - The Colts trade back , pick up an extra 5th or 6th round pick they lost in the Wentz deal and still get the guy I would have had them taking at #21. Jenkins would be a day one starter for the Colts and reassure their elite offensive line doesn't take a huge step back. 

24. Pittsburgh Steelers - Najee Harris , RB , Alabama - I don't think this is the actual pick but it could be , especially with the tackles and corners off the board right here. Harris would give the Steelers running game that all around back they've missed since Bell left. 

25. Jacksonville Jaguars - Rondale Moore , WR , Purdue - The Jaguars have said they want to be the fastest team in the league and Moore fits that , he also fits the kind of guy Meyer loved to utilize everywhere on the field in Ohio State plus the added bonus of Moore burning his Buckeyes as a freshman. 

26. Cleveland Browns - Jeremiah Owusu-Koramorah , LB , Notre Dame - I still have a hard time seeing him fall this far but anything is possible and the Browns have done such a great job of filling needs in free agency they could look at BPA here and fill somewhat of a need with the versatile JOK. 

27. Baltimore Ravens - Joy Tryon , Edge , Washington - The Ravens need edge help in the worst way , and Tryon is a high motored uber athlete that they seem to always make into great players. Another beautiful marriage. 

28. New Orleans Saints - Terrace Marshall , WR , LSU - The Saints need to replenish their weapons on the outside and go local , Marshall is one of the best deep threats in the league and will pair perfectly with Thomas on the other side and Jameis's big arm. 

29. Washington Redskins (via Packers) - Micah Parsons , LB , Penn State - I don't see him falling this far , its tough but I also didn't love a spot for him either and his character concerns are real. Washington trades back , fills a need with arguably the best defender in the draft who finds a great mentor in Ron Rivera. 

30. Buffalo Bills - Jaelen Phillips , Edge , Miami - The Bills have been looking for a running partner for Hughes for so long they now have to draft his replacement as well. Phillips comes with risk but Buffalo at this point I think can take that swing. 

31. Kansas City Chiefs - Rashod Bateman , WR , Minnesota - The Chiefs do what the Chiefs want to do , I think the tackles are pretty lumped together at this point , enough for the Chiefs to go elsewhere and pick up Bateman who might be the most instantly translatable receiver in the draft. The Chiefs WR corps also isn't as deep as one would think it is. 

32. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Elijah Moore , WR , Ole Miss - Antonio Brown is the only one not back yet , Moore would be a great fill-in for him while also providing the upside to replace Godwin next year. Brady loves his slot guys and Moore might have the highest upside of any in this draft. 


------------- Round 2 ----------- 

33. Jacksonville Jaguars - Zaven Collins , LB , Tulsa - I really am intrigued by Collins but have no idea where he belongs. I like him going to the Jaguars where he can flourish in multiple fronts , inside our outside and bring some intensity to a defense that lost all its swagger.

34. New York Jets - Travis Etienne , RB , Clemson - The Jets need this back in their system. The 49ers targeted McKinnon for better or worse , the Packers have Aaron Jones as a perfect fit and Etienne is much in that same mold and why I think the Jets will target him. 

35. Atlanta Falcons - Javonte Williams , RB , North Carolina - As I said in the first pick for Atlanta , Smith is going to want to run the ball a ton and Williams might be my favorite back in the draft. The balance , vision and tackle breaking ability is second to none in the draft IMO. 

36. Miami Dolphins - Jamin Davis , LB , Kansas - Flores continues to sure up his front seven with a physical freak in Davis. 

37. Philadelphia Eagles - Kadarius Toney , WR , Florida - The Eagles are patient and wait a bit for their playermaker and get lucky with Toney falling into the second. 

38. Cincinnati Bengals - Landon Dickerson , C/G , Alabama - The Bengals have had luck with a recent Bama linemen and take advantage of Dickerson falling into the second because of injury. His medicals came back solid and he should improve their line the minute hes able to step in. 

39. Carolina Panthers - Asante Samuel Jr. , CB , Florida St - The Panthers spent a lot of capital last year on defense and continue the build here with ASJ.

40. Denver Broncos - Jabril Cox , LB , LSU - Taking him over Bolton because he is far more the athlete that Fangio looks for in the middle of his defense. I think he could be a day one starter for the Broncos. 

41. Detroit Lions - Jamar Johnson , S , Indiana - The Lions have maybe the worst safety room in the NFL and Johnson would be an instant starter and perfect fit for 2021 NFL. 
 
42. New York Giants - Liam Eichenburgh , OT , Notre Dame - The Giant pass on first round offensive line but can't do it again in the second. Eichenburgh is a pro and should be an instant starter inside or outside for the Giants. 

43. San Francisco 49ers - Gregory Rousseau , Edge , Miami - The 49ers need to replenish their depth and explosiveness at edge. Rosseau apparently is falling a bit amongst teams but the 49ers aren't afraid to take a swing on elite ceiling prospects. 

44. Dallas Cowboys - Alex Leatherwood , OL , Alabama - The Cowboys refocus on their offensive line , Leatherwood provides the versatility to allow Dallas to get the Top 5 on the field. 

45. Jacksonville Jaguars - Pat Freiermuth , TE , Penn State - The Jags continue to build around their quarterback with another Big 10 weapon. 

46. Detroit Lions (via Patriots) - Joseph Ossai , Edge , Texas - The Lions aren't terrible up front but they could use a playmaker and difference maker as an athlete. Ossai would fit right in the rotation. 

47. Los Angeles Chargers - Dillon Radunz , OT , North Dakota State - The Chargers too swing back in the second and take their tackle. Radunz is an intriguing prospect , especiall as a pass protector and scouts see a little of Bahktiari in him. 

48. Las Vegas Raiders - Sam Cosmi , OT , Texas - The run on tackles happens again but I think it's realistic with all the needs there , including the Raidahz. 

49. Arizona Cardinals - Dyami Brown , WR , North Carolina - Now the Cardinals are able to come back with a receiver to compliment Nuke and Green with a true deep threat in Brown. 

50. Miami Dolphins - Quinn Meinerz , C , Wisc-Whitewater - Love this dude , think he's going to be awesome and really bring some attitude to that Dolphins line. 

51. Washington Football Team - Davis Mills , QB , Stanford - They are rumored to trade into the back end of the first to get him , I don't see that happening but letting him fall here makes more sense. 

52. Chicago Bears - Stone Forsythe , OT , Florida - A mover up and down the draft boards , Forsythe is a bit more of a project but the Bears need to think long term. 

53. Tennessee Titans - Tyson Campbell , CB , Georgia - The Titans now are able to fill one of their holes in the secondary. 

54. Indianapolis Colts - Ifeati Melonfanwu , CB , Syracuse - As do the Colts who have a hole their from Rhodes departure , Melonwhatever is the perfect Colts prospect. 

55. Pittsburgh Steelers - Spencer Brown , OT , Northern Iowa - The Steelers now get to work on their offensive line. 

56. Seattle Seahawks - Eric Stokes , CB , Georgia - The second Bulldog off the board goes towards rebuilding the once fierce Seahawks secondary. 

57. Los Angeles Rams - Jevon Holland , S , Oregon - The Rams lost some key players in the secondary and Holland might have an early shot at starting. 

58. Baltimore Ravens - Creed Humphrey , C , Oklahoma - The Ravens need to get back to a dominate offensive line , and getting the ball to Jackson on the snap would help too. 

59. Cleveland Browns - Tylan Wallace , WR , Oklahoma St. - Depth and possibly a future is needed. Wallace could be the perfect 3rd receiver in the NFL with upside. 

60. New Orleans Saints - Elijah Molden , DB , Washington - My draft crush going to my boy Show , Molden would instantly fit in with the Saints who could use his versatility in the secondary. 

61. Buffalo Bills - Levi Onwuzurike , DT , Washington - The Bills continue to rebuild along their front seven and give Ed Oliver a much needed push. 

62. Green Bay Packers - D'WAYNE ESKRIDGE , WR , Western Michigan - Probably won't be the pick , Amon St. Brown is destined to be a Packer but I prefer Eskridge and his versatilty and special teams assets. 

63. Kansas City Chiefs - Brady Christensen , OT , BYU - An older prospect but also one of the more NFL ready and someone who should be able to step in and start for a Chiefs team in desperate need. 

64. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Chris Rumph II , Edge , Duke - The Buccaneers could use edge help and a future running mate for probably Barrett. Rumph fits the bill and is decent value here. 

Wilson is good for the Jets and I can live with a minor trade up for Farley if they are high on him, I don't see a RB at 34. That Shanahan mindthink doesn't value RB that high and often can make Day 3 guys work in their rotation. I like Gainwell as an option maybe with the late round 3 pick.

Gotta go IOL for us there at 34. Surprised no Wyatt Davis in round 2.

I don’t think prioritizing IOL with a singular pick is a good way for such a talent ladened team to go about the draft.

You do it for your 2nd overall pick, I don't think you can stomach Greg Van Roten & Alex Lewis playing guard. Does a disservice to Conor McGovern who the Jets brass still thinks can be the center and does a disservice to the QB taking snaps behind.

Have heard Jets are high on T Jenkins out of Oklahoma St and may move him to guard if he's even there at 23.

You can get guards a lot of places in the draft , it doesn’t have to be with that specific pick, perhaps if you were closer to truly competing you could approach the draft like that but the Jets are not in a position to turn down talent for need.

They may take a guard or a back , mocks are just exercises at the end of the day but two weeks out it’s not realistic to pigeon hole a specific position with a second round pick.
