2 days ago · Here's how the 2021 NFL draft would look if we could do it all over again. 1. Jacksonville Jaguars: QB Trevor Lawrence. The consensus number one overall remains the first pick, and it’s not one you really need to overthink. Lawrence hasn’t hit the heights touted for him, but he is a franchise quarterback, and that is a tough person to find.

With just over $12 million in cap space even after the J.J. Watt deal, Arizona can make some plays in free agency. The Cardinals are in luck no matter where they turn with the wide receiver talent that should be available. Even a mid-tier guy like Breshad Perrimancould pay massive dividends via free agency. That’s not as much the case with the tigh...
This is not the Falcons' year to be players in the free agency market. As it stands, they’re still nearly $20 million over the cap. If there is a silver lining, though, it’s that corner, safety and edge defender all have value into Day 2. That won’t be where the Falcons go with the No. 4 overall pick, but if they trade down, Virginia Tech’s Caleb F...
One could very easily add edge defender to this list, as well, with Matthew Judon, Yannick Ngakoue, Pernell McPhee and Tyus Bowser set to hit the market. But with the way Baltimore has found and developed edge talent, they could choose to prioritize weapons for Lamar Jacksonin free agency. They’re unlikely to be involved in the top trio of Chris Go...
After years of plugging through mid-tier free agents, this might be the Bills' offseason to relax. With only $1.9 million in cap space currently, their free agency period could be as simple as retaining tackle Daryl Williams and linebacker Matt Milano. In the draft, the Bills seem to be in prime position to upgrade at either guard or cornerback. Ok...
With Taylor Moton recently getting the franchise tag, the Panthers will be low on cap space unless they work out a long-term deal with him. Of the above needs, the only pressing one is offensive line becausethe Panthers will almost assuredly be involved in this year’s quarterback class. Maybe they can lure Russell Okungback to town with the price o...
The Bears fall in that no man’s land of lacking cap space and draft capital to make their desired moves. Ultimately, I expect them to be in the budget free agent/trade quarterback market because 1) they have -$7 million in cap space, and 2) Ryan Pace and Matt Nagy need to win now. That means Cam Newton, Jameis Winston, Sam Darnold and Jimmy Garoppo...
The blue-chip offensive line talent that the Bengals were thought to be in play for is all of a sudden drying up after franchise tags. However, spray and pray could be a better strategy for a line with multiple holes than signing a guard — such as Joe Thuneyfrom New England. I’d rather the Bengals prioritize their home-grown talent for big-money de...
While everyone keeps penciling in a linebacker to the Browns in the draft, it shouldn’t cost them too much to maintain the status quo at the position and re-sign B.J. Goodson. With $20 million in space to work with, they could easily be in the market for a top edge defender, as well.Shaquil Barrett, Carl Lawson, Jadeveon Clowney, Yannick Ngakoue, M...
Dak Prescott’s deal essentially started and ended the Cowboys' free agency period. They’ll now have to shed to just get themselves back under the cap. That means defensive needs galore are priorities come draft time. While Pick No. 10 holds some value at the cornerback position in someone like Virginia Tech’s Caleb Farley, the Cowboys have to be ho...
The Broncos are finally in striking distance of getting “their guy” at the quarterback position in the draft, but it sounds as if moving up isn’t their plan of attack. If that’s the case, we’ll likely know well before late April, as they'll have added a veteran to the mix with Drew Lock. If I were the Broncos, I’d quietly be plugging holes in the d...
