![]() ![]() Lance is an intriguing scheme fit in Kyle Shanahan’s offense, which does a good job of getting receivers into space. Just not at #3 overall, in my opinion.) Regardless, the Falcons reportedly have interest in Lance (and also sniffed around Fields a bit), so San Francisco’s choice to move up to #3 weeks before the draft screams that they’re looking at Fargo, North Dakota. The 49ers are reportedly down to Lance or Mac Jones, which is personally an indication that discourse is at an all-time low point and we need a hard cultural reset. 1.3 San Francisco 49ers via Hou through mia (alex): Trey Lance, QB, North dakota State If he fails to do so, this could be Sam Darnold all over again. As long as Joe Douglas commits to surrounding him with talent and building up this roster around him, Wilson has a great chance to succeed. ![]() Although he is not my next best available QB, he will be the pick here at number two barring any new information. The Jets sent Sam Darnold to Carolina and Zach Wilson has been all the talk for New York at number two. 1.2 New York Jets (Josh): Zach Wilson, QB, BYU It’s long been a foregone conclusion that he’d be the first pick of this draft, regardless of team. But also, Lawrence has been labeled football’s second coming since high school. (Side note: why does a toaster need a touch screen?) Individually, perhaps these are not meaningful events to you. Fans donated upwards of $11,000 to buy stuff from Lawrence’s wedding registry, donated a bunch of it to charity in his name, then Lawrence said he’d repay them by donating $20,000 to Jacksonville area charities. The Jaguars gave Lawrence the playbook already. Urban Meyer stopped going to pro days halfway through February.

Even though we both “controlled” half the league, every pick was made more or less collaboratively, except the especially bad ones, which were all the result of one of us going rouge. We also rigged it so that we could both draft for our favorite teams, which could be any of our respective 16, depending on how you feel about the outcome of the draft. ![]() Alex started with an extra pick since there’s an odd number. We both drafted for 16 teams and rigged it so that we had as close to the same number of total picks as possible. Welcome to hell.Ī few notes before we get to the picks. 7 rounds, 259 selections, only 7 trades because we gave up in the fourth round. (Also, we are lazy and writing mock drafts is time consuming.) Instead, we have locked ourselves in separate, discourse-less bunkers, crafting our objectively correct opinions about every prospect in this year’s draft. All this back and forth is exactly why we haven’t written a mock draft yet this year. Everyone being stuck inside all year has launched discourse into a dark but also golden age: there are so many more bad takes, but occasionally some good ones too. The 2021 NFL Draft is finally, mercifully, almost here. ![]()
