NFL Draft 2021 First Round Mock Draft \u00a0\u00a0 –\"\"<\/h3>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 The Jaguars are \u2018On the Clock\u2019!<\/h3>\n

Jets, Dolphins, Falcons and Bengals Complete Top 5 Selections<\/strong>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Jaguars, Jets and Dolphins Hold Two #1 Draft Choices<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Jacksonville Jaguars are \u2018On the Clock\u2019 with the first overall selection for the NFL Draft 2021. They earned the top overall draft choice off the horrible 1-15 record. New rookie NFL head coach Urban Meyer inherited a roster that has been dissipated of talented veterans especially on defense over recent years. Their recent overall draft decisions have been weak with poor personnel decisions at the executive level. Meyer has the luxury of possessing the #1 overall selection in a year when a generational prospect, Trevor Lawrence is available. The Jaguars are one of three teams that hold two #1 picks with the others the Jets and Dolphins.<\/p>\n

NY Jets earned the 2nd overall selection off a poor 2-14 record with both wins coming in the season. The Dolphins hold the Texans #1 pick which landed them the 3rd overall selection. The Texans will rotate with the Falcons in the 3rd and 4th positions in each round while the Bengals and Eagles will do the same with the 5th and 6th overall selections.<\/p>\n

A teams\u2019 opponent\u2019s W-L record will determine all tie situations. Teams that are still tied will flip though none necessary this year. Playoff teams will shuffle according to their postseason results to determine the final top 32 selections. NFL teams look to both the veteran Free Agency period and the NFL Draft 2021 to improve their rosters. The salary cap will go down for the first time in years with a $170 million cap range per team expected. It will dictate the movement of many veteran players this offseason and have an impact among the premier draft selections.<\/p>\n
