Scott Atkins 2021 NFL Mock Draft FINAL – How Far Will Justin Fields Fall?
It’s Christmas in April for NFL fans everywhere. Here’s our final 2021 NFL Mock Draft. NFL Draft Round 1: April 29, 2021 – 8:00pm eastern 1) Jacksonville Jaguars: QB Trevor Lawrence, Clemson The easiest number one overall pick in years. 2) New York Jets: QB Zach Wilson, BYU I’m a believer in this player, even against lessor competition. 3) San Francisco 49ers (from HOU through MIA): QB Mac Jones, Alabama The shocker is confirmed. I can’t believe this is happening. Mac should instantly be considered as a number 3 overall pick in Superflex Dynasty leagues and actually makes a strong case for number one overall with the weapons Kittle, Samuel and Aiyuk. 4) Atlanta Falcons: TE Kyle Pitts, Florida Dynasty Rookie Tight Ends Outlook 5) Cincinnati Bengals: WR Ja’marr Chase, LSU For the record, I think this is a bad choice. Joe Burrow should be protected right here with this pick, but it’s the Bengals, and they decide to chase Chase. 2021 Rookie Wide Receivers Outlook – 1 of 2 6) Miami Dolphins (from PHI): WR Jaylen Waddle, Alabama Some think it’s Devonta Smith, but I think Waddle is the more impressive prospect. 7) Detroit Lions: OT Penei Sewell, Oregon 8) Carolina Panthers: OT Rashawn Slater, Northwestern 9) Denver Broncos: QB Justin Fields, Ohio State The Broncos decided they weren’t going to give up additional draft picks and decided to roll the dice on draft day, however if the plan were to backfire and teams did move up for Fields and Lance, they needed a plan B, knowing that the price for that backup plan (Teddy Bridgewater) would be more expensive post draft. So Teddy was insurance, nothing more. Fields becomes the number two overall prospect in Superflex Dynasty football rookie drafts. Dynasty and Superflex Rookie Quarterbacks Outlook 10) Dallas Cowboys: CB Patrick Surtain II, Alabama 11) New York Giants: WR Devonta Smith, Alabama 12) Philadelphia Eagles (from SF through MIA): LB Micah Parsons, Penn St 13) Los Angeles Chargers: OT Christian Darrisaw, Virginia Tech 14) Minnesota Vikings: OT Alijah Vera-Tucker, USC 15) New England Patriots: QB Trey Lance, North Dakota State I’m not buying the Garoppolo rumors. 16) Arizona Cardinals: CB Jaycee Horn, South Carolina 17) Las Vegas Raiders: OT Teven Jenkins, Oklahoma State Anything other than upgrading the woeful offensive line should result in immediate firing of everyone in charge. 18) Miami Dolphins: DE Kwity Paye, Michigan 19) Washington Football Team: LB Jeremiah Owusu Koramoah, Notre Dame 20) Chicago Bears: DT Christian Barmore, Alabama 21) Indianapolis Colts: DE Azeez Ojulari, Georgia 22) Tennessee Titans: CB Greg Newsome, Northwestern 23) New York Jets (from SEA): CB Caleb Farley, Virginia Tech Ultimate swing for the fences pick. 24) Pittsburgh Steelers: RB Najee Harris, Alabama – The sixth member of the Crimson Tide selected in the top 24 picks and the Steelers get their every down back to make things easier for Ben Roethlisberger and the wide receivers. 2021 Rookie Running Backs Outlook – 1 of 2 25) Jacksonville Jaguars (from LAR): DE Jaelan Philips, Miami 26) Cleveland Browns: LB Zaven Collins, Tulsa 27) Baltimore Ravens: WR Rashod Bateman, Minnesota 28) New Orleans Saints: CB Asante Samuel Jr., Florida State 29) Green Bay Packers: WR Kadarius Toney, Florida 30) Buffalo Bills: DE Jayson Oweh, Penn St 31) Baltimore Ravens (from KC): DE Gregory Rousseau, Miami 32) Tampa Bay Buccaneers: DE Joe Tryon, Washington Discuss this mock and everything NFL, seasonal, dfs and dynasty fantasy football in our NEW Discord.

Dynasty and Superflex Rookie Quarterbacks Outlook
In fantasy, an anchor at the Quarterback position is underrated. Many think you can just get one off the waiver wire, but having an Andrew Luck on your team proved to be quite valuable in years’ past. Is Trevor Lawrence
Trevor Lawrence – Clemson / 6’6″ – 213 lbs
After three years of wrecking the NCAA, our golden boy is finally entering the NFL. Lawrence holds one of the most impressive resumes in recent memory and looks to continue his success at the next level.
Lawrence brings his tall, skinny frame with hopes of adding muscle mass before facing off against NFL defenders. He is a polished passer, showing excellent accuracy and ball placement to all levels of the field. He has good arm strength and will not struggle to drive the ball down field. Lawrence is a great athlete who will not be afraid to tuck and run when the play breaks down, which adds an extra plus-element to his future fantasy value. Though he has been deemed a so-called generational prospect, Lawrence does need improvements in multiple aspects of his game. Disguised coverages can throw him off course and force ill-advised throws. His delivery and release can be a bit too long and slowz which could be problematic sooner than later. Lawrence remains one of the best quarterbacks to enter the league in the last decade, and he has a great chance to solidify himself as such.
- Grade: High-end starter – pocket passer
- Draft Projection: 1st Overall
- Projected DFWC ADP: 9th or 10th pick aggressively, no later than early 2nd. In Superflex he’s the #1 Rookie pick overall.
- Comparison: Justin Herbert
- Bottom Line: Lawrence is the 1.01 in any superflex or 2QB formats, even if you’re not a believer. Worst case, he will perform at a low-end QB1 level for years to come.
