2021 NFL Mock Draft: Zach Wilson goes top-5 to Washington, Falcons land Trey Lance
By Randy Gurzi
The Alabama football program is really good. This isn’t exactly breaking news, especially since we are reminded of it every year as they dominate the first round of just about every single draft. That’s once again the case as Mac Jones is already their fourth player to come off the board here — and spoiler alert: He won’t be the last.
Jones took over for an injured Tua Tagovailoa in 2019 and threw for 1,503 yards with 14 touchdowns against only three picks. This season in just seven games, he’s taken it to another level with 2,426 yards and an 18-to-3 touchdown-to-interception ratio.
His play is good enough to get him drafted in the first round and the Chicago Bears should have no problem putting his name down. It’s obvious they are out on Mitch Trubisky and Nick Foles is only good when he plays Tom Brady. The Bears have to turn the page in 2021 and Jones allows them to do that.
One of the offseason players to watch, Kwity Paye has developed into everything we expected. him to be. Overall, the Michigan season has been one to forget but Paye has been one of their bright spots. New England is a hard team to figure out in the draft but Paye fills a massive need for them.
