Mission To Civilize New York Jets Coverage
Joe Belic offers his final mock draft before the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft.
Mock drafts have emerged as the lifeblood of the draft season craze. Various scenarios can, in a heartbeat, not only make one feel uplifted but also discouraged. With that said, I hope this particular piece evokes the former and leaves you with an optimistic view of what’s to come. Happy draft day, everybody!
Dylan Price offers his final mock draft of 2021.
On NFL Draft Eve, I took my final stab at projecting this best way the Jets can tackle the draft.
The Most accurate mock you will read barring a material change out of my control. So lets get going!
Pick 1 Jacksonville Jaguars– Trevor Lawrence, QB Clemson
Urban Left the Fox Desk for one reason to coach this Long Haired Gazelle galloping football alien.
Pick 2 New York Jets -Zach Wilson QB BYU
The Apple of Joe Douglas eye since January. The 2nd best QB in the AFC East as we live and breathe. As the Great Julius Randle says “New York We Here”.
Pick 3 San Francisco 49ers –Trey Lance QB NDSU
Mac Jones is a social experiment I refuse to acknowledge. Lance is 20 years old with elite running ability and an absolute cannon. He is a ball of clay that Kyle Shannhan can make into this generations Steve McNair and that should terrify everyone in the NFL.
Pick 4 Atlanta Falcons – Justin Fields QB Ohio State
The Georgia kid comes home and he is coming home with a chip on his shoulder. The most accurate QB in CFB will continue to be accurate and dominate the NFL
Pick 5 Cincinnati Burrow’s – Ja”Marr Chase WR LSU
This franchise will do whatever it takes to make sure Joe Burrow does not end up like Carson Palmer and take his favorite target in college.
Pick 6 Miami Dolphins – Kyle Pitts TE Florida
As a Jets fan fuck this pick.
Pick 7 Detroit Lions – Penei Sewell OT Oregon
Best OT in the draft as the Lions continue to make competent moves.
Pick 8 Carolina Panthers – Mac Jones QB Alabama
If Mac Jones had Sam Darnold’s body he would likely be a franchise QB. If Sam Darnold had Mac Jones mind he would likely be a franchise QB. So lets get wacky!
Pick 9 Denver Broncos – Rashawn Slater OT Northwestern
The Broncos continue to build a great infrastructure for a QB and Drew Lock will continue to be bad.
Pick 10 Dallas Cowboys – Patrick Surtain Jr. CB Alabama
Safe player at a premium position of need and Dallas continues its run of great drafting.
Pick 11 New York Giants – Micah Parsons LB Penn State
Gettleman just can’t help himself.
Pick 12 Philadelphia Eagles – Jaycee Horn CB South Carolina
Eagles reach on another player in the first and water is still wet.
Pick 13 LA Chargers – Jaylen Waddle WR Alabama
Justin Herbert is good and deserves nice things!!!!
Pick 14 Minnesota Vikings –Jaelen Phillips Edge Miami
Phillips and Danielle Hunter good luck blocking that.
Pick 15 New England Patriots – Zaven Collins LB Tulsa
Baby Dante Hightower goes to play with the original and I cry deeply inside.
Pick 16 Arizona Cardinals– Devonta Smith WR Alabama
DHOP, Devonta, Kyler if Kliff can’t make the playoffs with that trio he is going to be looking for a new job.
Pick 17 Las Vegas Raiders – Teven Jenkins OT Oklahoma State
Trent Brown out Jenkins in and they do not skip a beat.
Pick 18 Miami Dolphins – Jamin Davis LB Kentucky
Grier gonna Grier.
Pick 19 Washington Football Team – Christian Darrisaw OT VA Tech
Washington will have the perfect team in place when they trade for Matt Ryan next season.
Pick 20 Chicago Bears– Alijah Vera-Tucker OG USC
If your going all in AD14 go all in on AD14.
Pick 21 Indianapolis Colts – Greg Newsome CB Northwestern
Ballard in the best in the game and he continues to prove it.
Pick 22 Tennessee Titans – Elijah Moore WR Ole Miss
AJ Brown Elijah Moore ForEVERRR>>>>>>>>
Pick 23 New York Jets – Kwity Paye Edge Michigan
Jets won’t be good in 2021 but they will be fun to watch and that is a step in the right direction.
Pick 24 Pittsburgh Steelers – Creed Humphrey OC Oklahoma
Smart and practical The Steelers Way for the past 50 years.
Pick 25 Jacksonville Jaguars – Trevon Moehrig S TCU
Massive need fantastic player Jags will be good sooner then most think.
Pick 26 Cleveland Browns – Christian Barmore DT Alabama
Andrew Berry continues his ascent to an elite GM.
Pick 27 Baltimore Ravens – Terrace Marshall WR LSU
Lamar Jackson was Throwing to DEZ FLIPPING BRYANT IN A PLAYOFF GAME IN 2020?????? Enough Decosta–get the man some weapons!
Pick 28 New Orleans Saints – Caleb Farley CB VA Tech
Life, Death, Taxes, Mickey Loomis going all in. Marshon Lattimore CB2 in NOLA from this point on.
Pick 29 Green Bay Packers – Rashod Bateman WR Minnesota
Rashod Batemen and Devantae Adams running routes on the same team? Football porn baby!
Pick 30 Buffalo Bills – Travis Etienne RB Clemson
Team foolishly thinks a RB will fix their rushing woes while they continue to have below average guards on the roster, Rinse, Repeat.
Pick 31 Baltimore Ravens – Joe Tryon Edge Washington
Ravens getting 5 years productive years out of Tryon let him walk as a team overpays him him in FA and they get a 3rd round comp pick is Destiny.
Pick 32 Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Jayson Oweh Edge Penn State
Freak athlete that Todd Bowles is going to turn into an absolute menace.

Stephen Zantz Gives his Last Mock Draft of 2021!
It is officially draft week and this upcoming weekend can shape the future of the New York Jets for the next decade. The Jets are loaded with draft capital and Joe Douglas has repeatedly stated he plans to build through the draft. Let’s hope he can back up his promise with a strong second draft class. The following mock draft was generated through the PFF simulator with the settings geared heavier towards positional value. This also includes zero trades although I believe JD will be active on day 2 and 3 in the trade market.

We are now six days away from the NFL Draft and the New York Jets are wrapping up their pre-draft virtual visits and have probably identified their “get by any means” prospects and their “run the hell away” prospects. Before I transition to giving you my top 6 rankings for the defensive side of the ball, I wanted to give you my top 6 sleepers on the offensive side of the ball.
The Draft SZN squad talks CBs, Safeties, and LBs ahead of next week’s 2021 NFL Draft.
On this episode of Draft SZN, DA Osorio, Joe Belic, James Kuntz, and Michael Meegan discuss the Cornerbacks, Safeties, and Linebackers you need to know about as a Jets fan. They also chat with Matt Waldman about a variety of topics including WRs, RBs, and his nuanced Zach Wilson take.
DA ranks his top 6 IOL!
We are now nine days away from the NFL Draft and, as word continues to trickle out that the Jets have zeroed in on BYU QB Zach Wilson, it is absolutely imperative that they do not wait until year three to address OL in the NFL Draft like they did for now-Panthers QB Sam Darnold. As it currently stands, the New York Jets do not have a starting-caliber guard on the roster. Greg Van Roten and Alex Lewis were awful, and they let their best guard (Pat Elflein) go in free agency. The 2nd wave of free agency, set to begin after the draft, has some intriguing names that the Jets could add but DraftSZN’s James Kuntz has been banging the “this team will be built through the draft” long before free agency began and I have come around to that after evidence pointed to exactly that. One small note:
OL: can play all 5 positions
IOL: can play guard or center
OT: can play LT or RT
OG: can only play guard
Here are the top 6 rankings for the interior offensive line prospects in the NFL Draft, of which the Jets should make sure to add two if they do not tackle the position with one of the six I mentioned in yesterday’s article.
1. USC OT/OG Alijah Vera-Tucker
Overall Ranking: 9th
Grade: First
Wow: the athleticism and agility you want to see from the heir apparent to the Quentin Nelson throne of guards, Vera-Tucker has excellent mobility and a really good anchor. He can play LT, and play it very well, but I think he’s got insane guard potential. He does an excellent job of getting to the 2nd level of a defense and he comes off the snap ridiculously hard.
Worry: None.
2. Ohio State OG Wyatt Davis
Overall Ranking: 24th
Grade: Late 1st
Wow: a plug-and-play right guard at the next level, Wyatt Davis’s 2019 film showed an NFL-ready player whereas 2020 still showed flashes of that with some hiccups. He has great vision and a good first move to ward off pass rushers.
Worry: that the Davis we get is the Davis from 2020, who played a little out of control (likely due to injury)
3. Oklahoma C Creed Humphrey
Overall Ranking: 32nd
Grade: Late 1st
Wow: best Center in this class, but Humphrey can also slot right into a guard spot because of his intelligence and his strong anchor.
Worry: short arms and some timidness when engaging defenders.
4. Ohio State C Josh Myers
Overall Ranking: 39th
Grade: 2nd
Wow: raw power and a strong anchor that prevents him from getting knocked back by defenders.
Worry: not the best lateral mobility.
5. Alabama IOL Landon Dickerson
Overall Ranking: 48th
Grade: Mid 2nd
Wow: explosive off the snap with a pretty good burst, and just absolutely violent hands.
Worry: a torn right ACL, ankle surgery, ankle injury, and ligament damage in his left knee
6. Tennessee OG Trey Smith
Overall Ranking: 67th
Grade: 3rd
Wow: a mauler at guard who has one mission and one mission only: obliterate the guy across from him. Smith has exceptional power and a strong base that prevents him from getting pushed back.
Worry: has tight hips and had blood clots in his lungs
