The Cleveland Browns land Micah Parsons while the Falcons make Kyle Pitts a top-five pick in a three-round 2021 NFL Mock Draft after the first wave of free agency.

NFL free agency kicked off on March 17 and teams had their fun landing some big-name targets. Players such as Bud Dupree, John Johnson III, Matt Judon, Carl Lawson, and many more landed with new teams.

There were also some players landing big contracts to stick with their teams. Trent Williams got an extension with the San Francisco 49ers and Dak Prescott agreed to an extension with the Dallas Cowboys just to name a couple.

Now, with the dust settling some from the opening flurry of signings, we’re ready to look at the draft with our latest three-round 2021 NFL Mock Draft. Again, this draft starts out with the same signal-caller making his way to Jacksonville.

Post-free agency first wave 2021 NFL mock draft with 3 full rounds.

While the Jacksonville Jaguars haven’t announced it yet, Trevor Lawrence will be the face of the franchise in 2021. The Clemson quarterback is easily the most recognizable person in this class and he’s arguably the most pro-ready prospect since Andrew Luck back in 2012.

Lawrence joins a roster that has been reloaded with the signing of cornerback Shaquill Griffin and wide receiver Marvin Jones. They’re also preparing for their first season under head coach Urban Meyer.

Meyer has had success at every stop during his NCAA career but is taking the leap to the pros for the first time. Having a player such as Lawrence will go a long way toward deciding just how well he does in his new venture.
