NFL Mock Draft

By Cleveland Central

  1. JAX- QB Trevor Lawrence (Clemson)

Without a doubt, Lawrence is the best Quarterback in this draft. He fits all schemes and has an amazing skill set which allows him to be a dynamic player. He can push the ball down the field consistently and utilize his athleticism when needed.

  1. NYJ- QB Zach Wilson (BYU)

Wilson is rated as the 2nd best Quarterback on most boards, and for a good reason. He can throw the ball with elite timing, makes accurate throws on the run, and creates plays with his legs. Following the departure of recently traded QB Sam Darnold, the organization is in need of a franchise QB.

  1. SF- QB Trey Lance (NDSU)

Lance is an athletic quarterback with next-level physical skills and tremendous upside. He is always patient in the pocket and keeps his eyes downfield while also going through his progressions smoothly. He does a great job commanding the offense and spreads the ball around well, but he hasn’t faced high-level competition. 

  1. ATL- TE Kyle Pitts (Florida)

Kyle Pitts is one of the best Tight-end prospects in years. He’s versatile enough to play on the outside at Wide Receiver and brings a lot of value to both the TE and WR positions. Pitts has great size, athleticism, and hands to make him a big threat on the outside, in the slot, and on the line. 

  1. CIN- OT Penei Sewell (Oregon)

Sewell has the most potential at O-Line in this class, he might not be the best Day 1 starter right away but he’ll be worth it in the long run. The Bengals need to protect Joe Burrow. Sewell has great athleticism and technique which will help him thrive. 

  1. MIA- WR Ja’Marr Chase (LSU) 

Chase is rated by most the best Wide Receiver in this class, The Dolphins might have bigger needs than WR with the addition of Will Fuller, but Chase is too good to pass up on. He has elite route running, hands, ball skills, blocking, and playmaking. He would truly give an elite weapon to Tua.

  1. DET- WR Jaylen Waddle (Alabama)

In my opinion, Jaylen Waddle is the best WR in the class. He is a once in a generational talent. He can line up outside or in the slot and do his thing. His jump off the line, hands, ability to be used in different motions, playmaking are all elite. The Lions just landed a cornerstone of their Franchise with this pick here. 

  1. NE- QB Justin Fields (Ohio State) * Via Carolina 

Fields brings an elite throwing ability, athleticism, and arm talent. He’s proven to be able to throw around defenders or work himself into generating velocity and accuracy when on the move. He can start right away or sit and develop. He has some issues of sitting in a pocket too long and not finding his 3rd and 4th reads. In my opinion, he is a Franchise QB.

  1. DEN- QB Mac Jones (Alabama) 

Mac Jones brings great leadership, a player who can make the right great reads, and has an underrated deep ball. For Mac Jones to thrive he needs Great protection, playmakers, and play-caller. 

  1. DAL- CB Patrick Surtain (Alabama)

The Cowboys clearly need a corner, they are a great defense away from Super Bowl contention. Surtain is by far the best corner in this class and will boost their Secondary. Surtain is a large corner with a huge upside. He is elite off the line, has a great hand technique, works to get his head back around, locates the pass in the air, and covers crossing patterns well.

  1. WAS- S Trevor Moehrig (TCU)
