In this, the record number of quarterbacks is chosen, but something tells me Mac Jones falls past the San Francisco 49ers and to the Carolina Panthers. I see the Falcons taking Zac Wilson. For the SF Bay Area teams, the San Francisco 49ers will hire Trey Lance, while the Las Vegas Raiders (formerly the Oakland Raiders) will go defense and take Georgia’s Azeez Ojulari.
Stay tuned for my second 2021 NFL Mock Draft.
