![]() Instead, he was the highest-drafted tight end in the modern era at pick number four overall.ĭavis Peng takes him at 7th overall, before the second wide receiver or running back comes off the board. The biggest question I had going into this draft was: When would Kyle Pitts go? Pitts is a generational talent who could arguably have been the WR1 in this draft class if he listed at that position. On top of that, I'm actually a fan of the moves the Jets made in the offseason and I believe they've set Wilson up to have some success. I'm not the biggest Wilson fan, but I wasn't the biggest Justin Herbert fan either, and look how that turned out.Īt this point in the draft, I couldn't pass up the potential of having an immediate 10+ year starter in a superflex league. Wilson, the second quarterback taken in the 2021 NFL Draft, falls into my lap at pick number six. The only question is will Lance sit for one year behind Jimmy Garappolo or will he be an immediate impact player? 1.06 - Zach Wilson, QB, New York Jets (My Pick) Not only that, but he lands in a Kyle Shanahan-led offense that is extremely quarterback-friendly. Trey Lance does not have a lengthy resume but has demonstrated all the traits necessary to be a successful quarterback at the next level. The third quarterback taken in the 2021 NFL Draft is also the third quarterback taken in our Superflex Rookie Mock Draft. 1.05 - Trey Lance, QB, San Francisco 49ers ![]() Harris should step right into 250+ touches for a high-scoring offense that has a history of utilizing a workhorse back. That's a recipe for success in the NFL and especially in an offense that has needed a bell-cow back since Le'Veon Bell left town. Harris is a powerful back with some wiggle that also catches the ball out of the backfield well. Although this is a superflex league, there's still obvious value that comes with securing a legitimate three-down back. His existing chemistry with Joe Burrow, and the fact that the Bengals were willing to take him over Penei Sewell, makes me believe he'll be featured right away." 1.04 - Najee Harris, RB, Pittsburgh SteelersĢ021's consensus number one back goes off the board at pick number four to John LaPresto. "I debated going with Trey Lance but opted for the player who I thought would produce more, right away. Brown, Dez Bryant, etc), then it'll be worth it. Tough to pass on two potential starting quarterbacks, but if Chase is anything like the guys he's been compared to ( Torry Holt, A.J. Jonathan Chan bucks the trend by going with WR Ja'Marr Chase at pick number three. 1.03 - Ja'Marr Chase, WR, Cincinnati Bengals However, if Lance or Wilson out-perform Fields, this may be a pick to look back on with some regret. He lands in an offense with a (supposedly) quarterback-friendly coach in Matt Nagy and a decent arsenal of weapons. I'm a huge fan of this pick since Fields was my #2 quarterback going into the draft. "Fields gives immediate rushing upside and joins a decent enough team that he can be a solid contributor as a QB2 right off the bat." I'm guessing Tomlin is assuming Fields will start over Andy Dalton, which for some reason (unbeknownst to me) is not a guarantee. 1.02 - Justin Fields, QB, Chicago BearsĪs with the NFL draft, the draft starts at pick two, but this time Michael Tomlin grabs Justin Fields as his QB of the future, rather than Zach Wilson. He should be a 15-year starter from Day 1 in a league format where you can never have too many quarterbacks. ![]() Lawrence has been labeled as a generational talent since his high school days. ![]() No surprise at the number one overall pick, as Kyle Williams goes with Trevor Lawrence.
