Bucky Brooks 2021 ¹ú²úÍâÁ÷Íømock draft 2.0: Jets pass on QBs in favor of Penei Sewell at No. 2

With the first wave of free agency in the rearview and the 2021 ¹ú²úÍâÁ÷ÍøDraft approaching quickly on the horizon, here is my second crack at projecting how the first round will play out.

Pick
1
Trevor Lawrence
Clemson · QB · Junior

It is the beginning of a new era in Duval, with Urban Meyer selecting Lawrence to be the franchise quarterback for the next decade-plus.

Pick
2
Penei Sewell
Oregon · OT · Junior

If the Jets' new coaching staff believes Sam Darnold is fixable, New York could opt for an edge blocker to complete an O-line rebuild and enable the team to become immediately competitive under Robert Saleh.

Pick
3
Ja'Marr Chase
LSU · WR · Junior

The signing of Will Fuller won't prevent the Dolphins from adding another perimeter playmaker to the mix.

Pick
4
Zach Wilson
BYU · QB · Junior

Matt Ryan's presence allows the Falcons to add a young quarterback without the pressure of putting him on the field in Year 1.

Pick
5
Rashawn Slater
Northwestern · OT · Senior

Upgrading the offensive line is a top priority, with Joe Burrow looking like a potential star in the making.

Pick
6
Justin Fields
Ohio State · QB · Junior

Are the Eagles really ready to hand the keys of the franchise to Jalen Hurts? If not, GM Howie Roseman shouldn't turn down the chance to add a talented quarterback with franchise potential to the roster.

Pick
7
Jaylen Waddle
Alabama · WR · Junior

The loss of Kenny Golladay makes finding a No. 1 receiver a top priority. Waddle is a game-breaker with the speed and explosiveness to create big plays in the passing game.

Pick
8
Trey Lance
North Dakota State · QB · Sophomore (RS)

The FCS star could take over in 2022, after serving an apprenticeship under Teddy Bridgewater.

Pick
9
Caleb Farley
Virginia Tech · CB · Junior (RS)

The additions of Ronald Darby and Kyle Fuller won't stop the Broncos from adding a five-star cornerback to beef up a secondary that must defend a few high-powered WR corps within the division.

Pick
10
Alijah Vera-Tucker
USC · OL · Junior (RS)

It might be wise for the Cowboys to find an insurance policy for the oft-injured Tyron Smith.

Pick
11
Gregory Rousseau
Miami · Edge · Sophomore (RS)

Dave Gettleman can't turn down a chance to snag a pass rusher with Jason Pierre-Paul-like traits.

Pick
12
Patrick Surtain II
Alabama · CB · Junior

The likely departure of Richard Sherman could prompt John Lynch to prioritize finding a premier cover corner over draft weekend.

Pick
13
Kyle Pitts
Florida · TE · Junior

The ultra-athletic pass catcher would give Justin Herbert another weapon to target on the perimeter.

Pick
14
Kwity Paye
Michigan · Edge · Senior

The Vikings need to find a dominant edge rusher to pair with () Danielle Hunter and help Mike Zimmer generate more pressure at the point of attack.

Pick
15
Micah Parsons
Penn State · LB · Junior

The explosive linebacker is arguably the best defender in the draft, offering a versatile game that makes him a perfect fit in Bill Belichick's scheme.

Pick
16
Jaycee Horn
South Carolina · CB · Junior

With Patrick Peterson now in Minnesota, the blitz-happy Cardinals need an athletic corner with man-to-man cover skills.

Pick
17
Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah
Notre Dame · LB · Junior (RS)

The Raiders need an infusion of athleticism and playmaking ability on the second level. Owusu-Koramoah is a sideline-to-sideline defender with speed, instincts and big-hit ability.

Pick
18
Najee Harris
Alabama · RB · Senior

The addition of a big-time running back with dynamic skills as a runner and receiver would enable the Dolphins to take some of the pressure off Tua Tagovailoa. Harris is a Matt Forte-like playmaker with big-play ability out of the backfield.

Pick
19
DeVonta Smith
Alabama · WR · Senior

The silky-smooth pass catcher would complete a WR corps that already features speed and explosiveness with Terry McLaurin and Curtis Samuel in place.

Pick
20
Christian Darrisaw
Virginia Tech · OT · Junior

The Bears haven't drafted an offensive tackle above the fifth round since 2011. Darrisaw is a plug-and-play prospect with all-star potential.

Pick
21
Jaelan Phillips
Miami · Edge · Junior (RS)

The Colts must be able to generate pressure with a four-man rush to effectively run Matt Eberflus' version of Tampa 2. Phillips is a skilled technician with a non-stop motor and a polished game.

Pick
22
Greg Newsome II
Northwestern · CB · Junior

After moving on from Adoree' Jackson, the Titans could opt for a steady cover corner with a well-rounded set of skills.

Pick
23
Travis Etienne
Clemson · RB · Senior

The Jets' shift to a Shanahan offense could make Etienne the perfect fit as a one-cut runner with home run speed and acceleration.

Pick
24
Nick Bolton
Missouri · LB · Junior

The heat-seeking missile out of Missouri is the perfect partner for Devin Bush between the tackles.

Pick
25
Trevon Moehrig
TCU · S · Junior

Adding a ballhawk to a defense that struggled to generate turnovers in 2020 is a top priority for the Jaguars.

Pick
26
Joe Tryon
Washington · Edge · Junior (RS)

Adding a credible pass-rush threat opposite Myles Garrett would provide some needed pop to the Browns' young, athletic defense.

Pick
27
Azeez Ojulari
Georgia · Edge · Sophomore (RS)

Replacing Matt Judon with an explosive pass riser possessing A-plus athleticism tops Eric DeCosta's to-do list.

Pick
28
Zaven Collins
Tulsa · LB · Junior (RS)

The ultra-versatile Collins would give the Saints a dynamic second-level defender with pass-rush skills.

Pick
29
Jalen Mayfield
Michigan · OL · Sophomore (RS)

The Packers' lack of depth on the front line was exposed during the playoffs. Mayfield is a natural right tackle with the potential to play inside or outside at the next level.

Pick
30
Elijah Molden
Washington · DB · Senior

If the Bills want to add another Swiss Army Knife to the secondary, Molden could be the ideal pick as a hybrid safety/corner with a high football IQ and natural playmaking ability.

Pick
31
Teven Jenkins
Oklahoma State · OT · Senior (RS)

The recent releases of Mitchell Schwartz and Eric Fisher make offensive tackle a top priority for the Chiefs. Jenkins is an athletic, big-bodied blocker with the length to stymie pass rushers off the edge.

Pick
32
Mac Jones
Alabama · QB · Junior (RS)

Tom Brady just signed an extension at age 43, but the Bucs could grab a successor to learn from the G.O.A.T. over the next few years.
