Welcome to the Burbs Sports Mock Draft 2.0! Analysts Ryan Dobbs and Connor Sheehan co-mock this round of selections ahead of the draft on Thursday. Switching off picks, Connor took the odds and Dobbs took the evens.
1. Jacksonville Jaguars - Trevor Lawrence, QB, Clemson: This is a no-brainer pick and has been set in stone for some time; the future is bright in Jacksonville
2. New York Jets - Zach Wilson, QB, BYU: The Jets get their QB of the future; no surprises here.
3. San Francisco 49ers - Justin Fields, QB, Ohio State: Justin Fields lands in the best situation out of any quarterback in this class—a star in the making.
4. Atlanta Falcons - Trey Lance, QB, NDSU: The Falcons decide to shoot for the stars and grab a new franchise QB of their own in Trey Lance.
5. Cincinnati Bengals - Jamar Chase, WR, LSU: The top duo in CFB last year reunite in Cincinnati, looking to start right where they left off at LSU.
6. Miami Dolphins - Kyle Pitts, TE, Florida: With Kyle Pitts still on the board, the decision is easy for a Fins team in need of offensive weapons.
7. Lions - Penei Sewell, OT, Oregon: The Lions grab one of the best offensive tackle prospects in the last decade and will start him for the next ten years.
8. Carolina Panthers - Jaylen Waddle, WR, Alabama: Panthers OC Joe Brady + What Waddle’s skill set would bring to this team = Great value for this pick.
9. Denver Broncos - Mac Jones, QB, Alabama: A quarterback for the Broncos completes their already stacked roster as they look to compete in the competitive AFC West.
10. Dallas Cowboys - Jaycee Horn, CB, South Carolina: The Boys’ grab a hold of the best DB on the board right here to help fix last season’s secondary issues.
11. New York Giants - Rashawn Slater, OT, Northwestern: This pick filled the missing piece of the Giants' offense, giving Daniel Jones no more excuses in this make-or-break year.
12. Philadelphia Eagles - DeVonta Smith, WR, Alabama: Philly snags the best receiver on the board, who has generational potential that can bring a spark to this lackluster offense.
13. Los Angeles Chargers - Christian Darrisaw, OT, Virginia Tech: This pick provides much-needed help upfront to unlock Justin Herbert's true potential.
14. Minnesota Vikings - Patrick Surtain II, CB, Alabama: Minnesota gets great value for their pick right here with Surtain, who will come into the league ready to go toe-to-toe with talented receivers.
15. New England Patriots - Micah Parsons, LB, Penn State: Parsons, a top ten talent, falls right into the hands of Bill Belichick, who could turn Micah into an All-Pro early on in his career.
16. Arizona Cardinals - Christian Barmore, DT, Alabama: The best interior defender in the class falls where he is desperately needed—alongside Jones and Watt—to form a nasty trio.
17. Las Vegas Raiders - Trevon Moehrig, S, TCU: The Raiders have had one of the worst defenses in the league as of late; by taking the best safety in the draft, they fill a huge need.
18. Miami Dolphins - Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, LB, Notre Dame: Coach Flores’ Belichick DNA shines through right here as he selects the best linebacker on the board who brings multiple positive traits to this defensive scheme with his broad skill set.
19. Washington Football Team - Rashod Bateman, WR, Minnesota: GIVE FITZMAGIC ALL THE WEAPONS—with this pick, the Football Team completely transforms their WR room from one of the worst in the league to one of the youngest upcoming cores chock-full of talent.
20. Chicago Bears - Rondale Moore, WR, Purdue: The Bears grab the super-skilled Rondale Moore—banking on his extreme speed and agility to turn him into a superstar for years to come in Chicago.
21. Indianapolis Colts - Jaelen Phillips, ED, Miami: The Colts take a gamble on a high-ceiling player with an injury history that could very well be the steal of the draft.
22. Tennessee Titans - Elijah Moore, WR, Ole Miss: Seeing as the Titans just lost their most productive receiver to free agency, it only makes sense that they grab a new wideout with Grade-A potential like Elijah Moore.
23. New York Jets - Greg Newsome, CB, Northwestern: Newsome might be the biggest riser in the draft as of late, and for good reason—the dude is a stud. Salah will be ecstatic to add him to the defense.
24. Pittsburgh Steelers - Gregory Rousseau, ED, Miami: Pittsburgh grabs Rousseau with his sky-high ceiling to fill their need for another productive edge rusher following the recent departure of Bud Dupree.
25. Jacksonville Jaguars - Walker Little, OT, Stanford: What comes with drafting your quarterback of the future is the next move is to make sure he's protected. Little is a boom-or-bust candidate, but with Jacksonville's draft capital, they can afford to take a couple of shots.
26. Cleveland Browns - Nick Bolton, LB, Mizzou: Bolton has that “Cobra” mentality when it comes to playing linebacker; he’s exactly what the Browns need—a fast, hard-hitting, instinctive player who roams the middle of the field.
27. Baltimore Ravens - Terrace Marshall Jr., WR, LSU: The Ravens have one of the worst WR rooms in the league, and if Marshall can have a Justin Jefferson-type of start to his career, Lamar Jackson will be one happy guy.
28. New Orleans Saints - Zaven Collins, LB, Tulsa: The Saints have a huge need at interior linebacker given their 4-3 scheme on defense, and learning alongside Demario Davis sounds like a match made in heaven for Collins.
29. Green Bay Packers - Alijah Vera Tucker, OG, USC: Alijah fell in this draft to a perfect fit in Green Bay. Many people are calling for a receiver here, but if they don’t want a repeat of the NFC Championship game, offensive line depth is never a bad idea.
30. Buffalo Bills - Kwity Paye, ED, Michigan: The Bills need another edge rusher who can come in and make an impact. Who other than Kwity Paye? Paye comes into the league boasting a strong frame and promising style of game that should translate very early into his career.
31. Baltimore Ravens - Azeez Ojulari, ED, Georgia: This might be the best fit in the draft—Ojulari, a pure speed rusher, will thrive in Don Martindale’s defensive system.
32. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Jayson Oweh, ED, Penn State: Fresh off of a Super Bowl victory while retaining virtually the same roster as last season, the Bucs are in a position to take a bit of a risk on Oweh right here. Oweh has a truly limitless ceiling when you consider his athletic ability; he is simply so raw at the game of football that it is hard assessing his true value at this current time.
