New mock drafts are coming in hot, with NFL Network scout Daniel Jeremiah sending Ohio State QB Justin Fields to the Falcons at 4th overall in his latest projection.
The Eagles could take a receiver here, but no team has selected first-round wideouts in consecutive drafts in 15 years, and I don t see that streak ending with Philly. Instead, the Eagles nab a much-needed shutdown corner in Surtain, who will be the highest-rated defender on many teams draft boards.
#JimmySays: In this mock, Ja Marr Chase is still on the board with the Eagles taking Surtain. Who cares if no team has taken a WR in the first round in consecutive seasons in 15 years? If Chase is there, you thank the teams in front of you for not taking him and turn in the card.
Justin Fields is the only Buckeye unanimously projected to be a first-round pick, but seven other Buckeyes are also forecast as top-100 picks in post-Super Bowl mock drafts.
2021 NFL Draft Prospect Interview: Joshuah Bledsoe, SAF, Missouri

A fan-favorite series is coming back to the site as it is officially prospect interview season. For anybody new to the site or for people who need a reminder, every draft season I sit down with prospects that are going to be in the upcoming NFL Draft to talk with them about their off-field accomplishments and some film aspects on the field. While I don’t always talk to star players, I have been able to talk to a few players who eventually ended up with the Colts such as Khari Willis, Marvell Tell III, and Rock Ya-Sin.
