2021 NFL Mock Draft: Sixth Edition

 Here is my sixth edition of my 2021 NFL Mock Draft.

1. Jacksonville Jaguars- Trevor Lawrence, Quarterback, Clemson: This is as big of a slam dunk as Joe Burrow to Cincinnati at this time a year ago, but maybe even bigger. Lawrence is someone that along with the presence of Urban Meyer that will rejuvenate this franchise for years to come. Lawrence is the best quarterback prospect since perhaps Peyton Manning in 1998.

2. New York Jets- Zach Wilson, Quarterback, BYU: This pick seems like a lock at this point as well as Wilson wasn't even considered the consensus number two pick six months ago. Despite not playing for a power conference school, Wilson really had a dominant senior season after being inconsistent before than.

3. San Francisco 49ers (from Houston Texans via Miami Dolphins)- Mac Jones, Quarterback, Alabama: Jones and Justin Fields will be the talk of the town regarding this pick. This time I'm rolling with Jones with this selection as speculation continues on which quarterback the Niners will take here. There are some out there that feel that Jones was a product of the great talent around him in college and others that believe his Senior season was no fluke.

4. Atlanta Falcons- Kyle Pitts, Tight End, Florida: The Falcons are open to trading down in this first round and I feel they should absolutely entertain offers. I can see Pitts being there selection whether it's here or down a few spots (if he is still on the board). Pitts is the best tight end prospect since Rob Gronkowski due to his route running and opposing defense's inability to stop him.

5. Cincinnati Bengals- Penei Sewell, Offensive Tackle, Oregon: This is absolutely what the Bengals should do here as they land themselves a stud for years to come. The offensive line was a huge weakness as it failed to protect Joe Burrow in his promising rookie season, which came to an abrupt end due to the ACL injury. Burrow probably wants the team to take his former teammate Ja'Marr Chase, but getting protection is more important.

6. Miami Dolphins (from Philadelphia Eagles)- Ja'Marr Chase, Wide Receiver, LSU: This would be a tremendous pick for the Dolphins, who need more weapons around Tua Tagovaiola. Chase is arguably the best wideout prospect since Julio Jones or even Calvin Johnson and he would make Tua a better quarterback.

7. Detroit Lions- DeVonta Smith, Wide Receiver, Alabama: The Lions should seriously consider trading down from this spot due to the fact they could be in for a long rebuild. Smith is someone that won't be easy passing up on due to the fact that he is coming off the greatest collegiate season ever form a wideout and he'll really give Jared Goff a much needed target.

8. Carolina Panthers- Jaylen Waddle, Wide Receiver, Alabama: The Panthers should really focus this pick on offense as they need more around Sam Darnold. As much as Rashawn Slater makes sense here, Waddle does too as the Panthers could use some speed and good route running on the perimeter.

9. Denver Broncos- Justin Fields, Quarterback, Ohio State: John Elway would be ecstatic if Fields fell down to his lap. He is someone who was seen as a lock to go second overall in the fall, but his stock dropped due to inconsistencies during a shortened Big-10 season. If Fields were to land here, the Broncos would join the Chiefs and Chargers for division supremacy for years to come.

10. Dallas Cowboys- Patrick Sutain II, Cornerback, Alabama: One of the more popular mock draft picks is Sutain to Dallas and for good reason. The Cowboys have needs everywhere on defense and Sutain could come in and start right away for them as they finally have a replacement for Byron Jones.

11. New York Giants- Rashawn Slater, Offensive Tackle, Northwestern: The Giants goal this offseason was to give Daniel Jones all the resources to succeed. They continue on that promise by taking the versatile lineman in Slater, whom is rising up draft boards and there is talk he may go before Penei Sewell, which would be insane to some.

12. Philadelphia Eagles (from San Francisco 49ers via Miami Dolphins)- Jaycee Horn, Cornerback, South Carolina: With the big three wideouts all gone, the Eagles turn their attention to another need in corner. Horn is someone that was tremendous against great SEC competition in the past and I can see him being an impact guy against the great NFC East wideouts if the Eagles are the landing spot.

13. Los Angeles Chargers- Christian Darrisaw, Offensive Tackle, Virginia Tech: This would be a very good pick for the Chargers, who need to get protection for Justin Herbert. Darrisaw would really make the Chargers offensive line a strength at left tackle with his run blocking ability and versatility.

14. Minnesota Vikings- Kwity Paye, Defensive End, Michigan: The Vikings are a bit of an unknown here, but I think they should go improve one of the offensive or defensive lines. The latter is the choice here and Paye is someone that had a great Pro Day performance and is draft stock is rising due to it.

15. New England Patriots- Trey Lance, Quarterback, North Dakota State: The Patriots should not take a quarterback with this pick, unless they make a bold move and move up for Justin Fields due to the fact that their offseason moves indicate that they want to return to Super Bowl contender status. Lance to the Pats has been a popular take of late and if anyone could help develop Lance into his potential not many saw, it's Bill Belichick.

16. Arizona Cardinals- Caleb Farley, Cornerback, Virginia Tech: The Cardinals take a selection of need here with Farley as they need to replace Patrick Peterson in that secondary. Farley opted out last season and that combined with injury issues from the past is what could cause him to potentially drop into the twenties.

17. Las Vegas Raiders- Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, Linebacker, Notre Dame: This would be a solid selection for Jon Gruden and Company as they select a position of need pick with Owusu-Koramoah. He will provide exactly what new defensive coordinator Gus Bradley would like- speed, athleticism, and cover ability.

18. Miami Dolphins- Micah Parsons, Linebacker, Penn State: This would be a fantastic pick by the Dolphins, who need a lot of help on the defensive side of the ball sans adding a lot of pieces in free agency a year ago. Parsons would become the quarterback of that defense with his ability to rush the passer as well.

19. Washington Football Team- Alijah Vera-Tucker, Offensive Tackle/Guard, USC: This would be a solid pick for Washington considering they badly need help on the offensive line. Vera-Tucker provides versatility and would finally help replace the void left by Trent Williams.

20. Chicago Bears- Greg Newsome II, Cornerback, Northwestern: The Bears have some glaring needs on their roster and corner is one of them. Newsome is someone that will come in and start for the Bears right away due to his athleticism, size, and length and will replace the released Kyle Fuller.

21. Indianapolis Colts- Azeez Ojulari, Defensive End, Georgia: The Colts decide to go with pass rush with this pick and choose someone underrated in Ojulari. What makes Ojulari attractive is his versatility and able to do many things on the field.

22. Tennessee Titans- Jalean Phillips, Defensive End, Miami: This would be a nice pick for the Titans considering they need pass rushing help, even with the addition of Bud Dupree. Phillips some feel is the best at his position in his draft when healthy considering past injury history is why he could be available here.

23. New York Jets (from Seattle Seahawks)- Tevin Jenkins, Offensive Tackle, Oklahoma State: Assuming Zach Wilson is the selection at two, the Jets need to help protect him at all costs. Jenkins is someone who's stock is rising with a week ago until the draft and he and Mehki Becton could be the tackles of the future for the Jets.

24. Pittsburgh Steelers- Najee Harris, Running Back, Alabama: Another hot rumor as the draft is nine days away is that the Steelers are eyeing a running back with their first round pick as they are trying for one last hurrah with Ben Rothlisberger. Harris is someone that is a three down back and would be an upgrade over the departed James Conner.

25. Jacksonville Jaguars (from Los Angeles Rams)- Trevon Moehrig, Safety, TCU: Here I have the Jags adding to their young asset collection on defense with Moehrig. I always felt that Moehrig was overshadowed due to playing in the Big-12 and he is super athletic and would be a nice fit in the Jags young defense.

26. Cleveland Browns- Jamin Davis, Linebacker, Kentucky: With a week to go until the draft, one of the fastest risers on the defensive side of the ball is Davis. His size and athleticism will intrigue teams and the Browns could use a linebacker to improve that unit.

27. Baltimore Ravens- Rashod Bateman, Wide Receiver, Minnesota: The Ravens could go in any direction here and here I have them snagging the talented receiver in Bateman. His big play ability and being a red zone threat is something that Lamar Jackson and this offense can use.

28. New Orleans Saints- Zaven Collins, Defensive End/Outside Linebacker, Tulsa: Collins is someone thats getting a lot of love at the back end of the first round as the draft approaches. In what is a homecoming scenario in this pick, Collins would provide the Saints solid versatility and rushes the passer very well.

29. Green Bay Packers- Kadarius Toney, Wide Receiver, Florida: The Packers do what they should have done in the first round of last years draft- take a playmaker to help out Aaron Rodgers. Toney is someone that was overshadowed in Florida's offense due to the presence of Kyle Pitts and he could become their second wideout behind De'Vante Adams.

30. Buffalo Bills- Jayson Oweh, Defensive End, Penn State: Oweh is someone who I feel is one of the more underrated pass rushers in this draft and was overshadowed in college due to the presence of Micah Parsons. Oweh would provide much needed youth on the Bills pass rush.

31. Kansas City Chiefs- Alex Weatherwood, Offensive Tackle, Alabama: The Chiefs are a team in dire-need of offensive line reinforcements after releasing Eric Fisher and Mitchell Schwartz. Weatherwood would be a great option here as he has been battle-tested in college several times and could start right away.

32. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Christian Barmore, Defensive Tackle, Alabama: The Bucs really do not have any needs as they are brigning the band back together, trying to get eight for the greatest quarterback of all time. I can see Barmore being the pick here for depth purposes and Ndamukong Suh isn't getting any younger.
