2021 NFL Mock Draft: Jaguars luck into Trevor Lawrence, Eagles give Hurts Ja’Marr Chase
By Randy Gurzi
What a week it was for the Cincinnati Bengals. They went on Monday Night Football and knocked off the Pittsburgh Steelers in one of the biggest shocks of the season. It wasn’t as crazy as seeing the Jets beat the Los Angeles Rams, but it was close.
Even with that win, this team should end up with a top-five pick. Here, they still land at No. 3 and take Oregon’s Penei Sewell. Easily the top offensive tackle prospect, Sewell opted out of the season but his prospects as an NFL player have not taken a hit whatsoever. Cincy can use his talent as they need to start building around Joe Burrow, especially since he will be returning from a devastating knee injury in 2021.
(Pick via Houston Texans): At No. 4, we have the Miami Dolphins who obtained this pick from the Houston Texans in exchange for Laremy Tunsil. Miami uses this selection to solidify their defense with Micah Parsons from Penn State. Miami is in the mix for the playoffs as Brian Flores has quickly turned this team around and has them competitive.
Adding a player such as Parsons who can not only rack up tackles at an alarming rate, but also rush the passer, will only help them get even better as they look to take the next step.
