We are officially in 2021 NFL Draft season, so it’s time to drop our post regular season mock that sees our Baltimore Ravens address their IOL.
1. Jacksonville Jaguars: Trevor Lawrence, QB, Clemson
Lawrence is not only the 2021 NFL Draft’s top quarterback prospect, but he’s the best quarterback prospect since Andrew Luck back in 2012; maybe even better. Lawrence is near flawless and the Jaguars are thrilled to have the top pick and select their franchise quarterback.
2. New York Jets: Justin Fields, QB, Ohio State
Sam Darnold could still be the guy, but I have a feeling the front office and new coaching staff that didn’t draft him want their own guy. Darnold could also be moved this offseason, leaving the door open for a quarterback with the second pick. Fields is a fantastic runner with great arm talent that will excite fans and break defenses. Fields could be QB1 in most drafts, but he just so happens to be in the same class as Trevor Lawrence.
3. Miami Dolphins (via Houston Texans): Penei Sewell, OT, Oregon
The Dolphins added Austin Jackson in last year’s draft, but sliding him to the right side and adding Sewell is too enticing of a thought. Sewell may not be perfect, but he anchors the line and keeps his quarterback’s jersey clean. Getting bookend tackles is more important than ever before and Tua Tagovailoa will be thrilled to have such a talented offensive line in front of him.
4. Atlanta Falcons: Gregory Rousseau, EDGE, Miami FL.
Rousseau may have sat out the 2020 season but we haven’t forgotten about him. Rousseau is a dominant edge rusher who can even kick inside for sub-packages. That kind of versatility makes him one of the 2021 NFL Draft’s best defenders and a guy the Falcons desperately need in their continually underwhelming pass rush.
