2021 NFL Draft: Trevor Lawrence, two more QBs in top 10 of mid-June mock draft
Trey Lance is a player who, if he can continue what he did as a redshirt freshman at North Dakota State, will only get more buzz. He had 28 passing touchdowns with no interceptions along with 14 rushing touchdowns and leading the Bison to another title. He’s got the goods and the Pittsburgh Steelers very seriously need to be considering their future after Ben Roethlisberger as 40 is fast approaching and his health has been a concern of late.
There was a case that Marvin Wilson Jr. could’ve come out in 2020 but he elected to return to school. This offseason amidst the ongoing civil rights movement, he proved his character and leadership with the Seminoles with how he spoke up for his team and perceived injustice. That only makes him a more valuable prospect in my mind and he’s the type of force the Las Vegas Raiders could use to pair with Maurice Hurst on the interior.
After revamping the skill position groups this offseason to help Drew Lock, the Denver Broncos now need to work on the offensive line. Garett Bolles has been a bust to this point and needs to be replaced. Alex Leatherwood isn’t a spectacular prospect but he’s a sure bet to be a good pro. He also comes with positional versatility, having started at both guard and tackle at Alabama and playing both at a high level.
Taking Trevor Lawrence at No. 1 is a start for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Now they need to work on shoring up the weapons around him. DJ Chark emerged as a downfield threat last season but they need a playmaker who can create not just on vertical routes. Purdue’s Rondale Moore is the perfect player for that role. Though diminutive in size, he’s a stud that can burn teams at all levels of the field with explosive playmaking.
