Welcome to the third of several mock drafts. This 2021 NFL mock draft will include trades. Stay tuned for more mock drafts as prospects rise and fall.<\/p>\n
Nothing changes here. Jacksonville gets their guy.<\/p>\n
The Jets do not trade for Deshaun Watson<\/a>, so they pick their top quarterback here. Welcome to New Jersey, Zach Wilson<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Miami Dolphins<\/a> send the No.3 pick to Carolina for a package that includes the No.8 pick.<\/p>\n The Panthers trade up for a quarterback instead of dealing for Watson. Fields would be in a great position to sit for 2021 and start in 2022.<\/p>\n Atlanta has many weapons but Julio Jones<\/a> is not getting younger. Pitts adds a dynamic threat to the Atlanta offense. Do not be fooled by “tight end” next to Pitts’ name; he is much more.<\/p>\n Ja’Marr Chase and Joe Burrow<\/a> reunite in Cincinnati. In this scenario, Cincinnati will address their offensive line woes in free agency.<\/p>\n The Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> send the No.6 pick to Chicago for a package that includes the No.20 pick.<\/p>\n Chicago makes a big splash for Lance, trading up 14 spots to get the North Dakota State quarterback.<\/p>\n Dan Campbell<\/a> and the Lions begin to repair the defense. Parsons will be the defensive quarterback for a decade.<\/p>\n Miami trades down and still is in a position to land a generational tackle prospect. Sewell will fit in at left tackle, sliding Austin Jackson<\/a> to right tackle. Jackson will kick Robert Hunt<\/a> into right guard. Sewell is one player, but it improves three spots for the Miami offensive line.<\/p>\n Rinse, wash, repeat. Surtain is a perfect fit in the Vic Fangio defense.<\/p>\n The Dallas Cowboys<\/a> send the No.10 pick to New England for a package that includes the No.15 pick.<\/p>\n New England desperately needs weapons, so no one better to get than the 2020 Heisman trophy winner.<\/p>\n The Giants add juice to their wide receiver room with the acquisition of Waddle.<\/p>\n With J.J. Watt<\/a> gone, Houston will look to rebuild the defense. Paye is a high upside start.<\/p>\n The Los Angeles Chargers<\/a> send the No.13 pick to Baltimore for a package that includes Orlando Brown.<\/p>\n As Orlando Brown<\/a> goes the opposite way, the Ravens add a talent tackle out of Northwestern.<\/p>\n Nothing to see here. Minnesota makes the same selection, strengthening their offensive line.<\/p>\n Dallas makes the same selection, but they get extra draft picks from New England.<\/p>\n Arizona adds another strong receiver to their receiver room. Bateman will make for a great No.2 option in next to DeAndre Hopkins<\/a>.<\/p>\n 2021 NFL Mock Draft 1.0 (Part I<\/a>, Part II<\/a>)<\/p>\n 2021 NFL Mock Draft 2.0 (Part I<\/a>, Part II<\/a>)<\/p>\n Main Image:<\/p>\nNo. 3: Carolina Panthers<\/a>, Justin Fields<\/a>, Quarterback, Ohio State<\/h3>\n
