<p><br>The Serby Mock 5.0 (the editors refused my repeated pleas to run it on Friday) would like to give a special thanks to Kyle Shanahan for making every mocker’s life miserable.</p>



<p>The entire first round this time, and for the fifth consecutive time, the Jets get Zach Wilson, followed this time by a talented cornerback, while the Giants get Joe Judge and Patrick Graham a pass rusher.</p>



<p>No trades once again.</p>



<p>The envelope please:</p>



<h2>1. Jacksonville Jaguars: <strong>Trevor Lawrence (QB, Clemson) </strong></h2>



<p>No one is more excited than Urban Meyer — or my nephew, Justin Baldinger, their new director of corporate partnerships.</p>



<h2>2. New York Jets: <strong>Zach Wilson (QB, BYU) </strong></h2>



<p>If you’re Joe Douglas, BYU Gotta Believe, right?</p>



<h2>3. San Francisco 49ers: <strong>Trey Lance (QB, North Dakota State) </strong></h2>



<p>After further review, Shanahan opts for the massive dual threat upside.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>4. Atlanta Falcons: Kyle Pitts (TE, Florida) </h2>



<p>GM Terry Fontenot gets coach Arthur Smith and Matt Ryan the uncoverable matchup nightmare unicorn.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>5. Cincinnati Bengals: Ja&#8217;Marr Chase (WR, LSU) </h2>



<p>How can they pass on Penei Sewell? Only because Joe Burrow can pass again to his elite college Go-To Guy and, fingers crossed, right tackle Riley Reiff can keep the franchise quarterback from getting his knee wrecked again.</p>



<h2>6. Miami Dolphins: Penei Sewell (OT, Oregon)</h2>



<p>Ereck Flowers <strong>was traded to Washington</strong>, Robert Hunt moves inside and here’s Tua Tagovailoa’s new bookend for Austin Jackson.</p>


	


<h2>7. Detroit Lions: Micah Parsons (LB, Penn State)</h2>



<p>The kneecap-biter at a position of need for Dan Campbell, <strong>no change from Mock 4.0.</strong></p>



<h2>8. Carolina Panthers: Justin Fields (QB, Ohio State) </h2>



<p>Owner David Tepper won’t care about hurting Sam Darnold’s feelings.</p>



<h2>9. Denver Broncos: <strong>Rashawn Slater (OT, Northwestern)</strong></h2>



<p>Big-ticket signing Ja’Wuan James made three starts at right tackle in 2019 and opted out in 2020. How can Vic Fangio trust him? No need to go QB <strong>following trade for Teddy Bridgewater</strong>.</p>



<h2>10. Dallas Cowboys: Patrick Surtain II (CB, Alabama) </h2>



<p>A Crimson Tide reunion opposite Trevon Diggs to help with Kenny Golladay in the division.</p>



<h2>11. New York Giants: <strong>Kwity Paye (DE, Michigan)</strong></h2>



<p>Leonard Williams needs more help rushing the passer, and former GM and Dave Gettleman crony Ernie Accorsi always subscribed to the You Draft Pass Rushers &#8216;Til The Cows Come Home theory. The Eagles were hot for him&#8230;Paye, not Gettleman.</p>

<h2>12. Philadelphia Eagles: Jaylen Waddle (WR, Alabama) </h2>



<p>Best Available Jaylen. Jalen Hurts can use an electric weapon to pair with WR Jalen Reagor, last year’s first-round pick.</p>



<h2>13. Los Angeles Chargers: Jaycee Horn (CB, South Carolina)</h2>



<p>They’ll get the left tackle for Justin Herbert with the 47th pick, and remember, they play Patrick Mahomes twice.</p>



<h2>14. Minnesota Vikings: Alijah Vera-Tucker (OT/G, USC) </h2>



<p>A safe plug-and-play inside or outside to clear a path for Dalvin Cook.</p>



<h2>15. New England Patriots: DeVonta Smith (WR, Alabama)</h2>



<p>The Hoodie has all the intel from Nick Saban, and adds the Heisman winner even after signing Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne. Will Dollar Bill trade up for a QB or <strong>is a reunion with Jimmy Garoppolo imminent</strong>?</p>


	


<h2>16. Arizona Cardinals: Zaven Collins (LB, Tulsa) </h2>



<p>A 6-4, 260-pounder likened to a young Brian Urlacher to roam alongside Isaiah Simmons and behind JJ Watt.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>17. Las Vegas Raiders: Jamin Davis (LB, Kentucky)</h2>



<p>A 6-3, 234-pounder with 4.47 speed and a 42-inch vertical fills a need for Jon Gruden and Mike Mayock.</p>



<h2>18. Miami Dolphins: Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah (LB, Notre Dame) </h2>



<p>Is he a linebacker or a safety? Brian Flores doesn’t care. He’s a fearless football player with instincts.</p>



<h2>19. Washington Football Team: Mac Jones (QB, Alabama) </h2>



<p>Ron Rivera can afford to let him sit behind Ryan Fitzpatrick for a while.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>20. Chicago Bears: Christian Darrisaw (T, Virginia Tech)</h2>



<p>He can step in at right tackle and replace Charles Leno as the left tackle of the future.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>21. Indianapolis Colts: Azeez Ojulari (OLB, Georgia)</h2>



<p>Justin Houston is a free agent and he’s 32, although GM Chris Ballard needs a left tackle to replace retired Anthony Castonzo in front of Carson Wentz.</p>



<h2>22. Tennessee Titans: Teven Jenkins (T, Oklahoma State)</h2>



<p>A nasty mauler to replace <strong>2020 first-round bust Isaiah Wilson</strong> on the right side won’t make it easier on defenders against Derrick Henry.</p>



<h2>23. New York Jets: Greg Newsome (CB, Northwestern)</h2>



<p>A 6-1, 190-pounder with 4.38 speed fills a glaring need.</p>

<h2>24. Pittsburgh Steelers: Najee Harris (RB, Alabama)</h2>



<p>James Conner is in Arizona, and Big Ben cannot be asked to throw 608 passes anymore.</p>



<h2>25. Jacksonville Jaguars: Jaelan Phillips (DE, Miami)</h2>



<p>If anyone has the job security to roll the dice on the draft’s best pass rusher with a concussion history, it’s Meyer.</p>



<h2>26. Cleveland Browns: Kadarius Toney (WR, Florida)</h2>



<p>A slot receiver with 4.39 speed gives Baker Mayfield a UFO once Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry are gone.</p>



<h2>27. Baltimore Ravens: Rashod Bateman (WR, Minnesota) </h2>



<p>Lamar Jackson needs a big receiver&nbsp;with 4.43 speed.&nbsp;</p>


	


<h2>28. New Orleans Saints: Elijah Moore (WR, Ole Miss) </h2>



<p>Tell me how Sean Payton can resist the temptation of a new toy with 4.32 speed for Jameis Winston and Taysom Hill.</p>



<h2>29. Green Bay Packers: Tyson Campbell (CB, Georgia) </h2>



<p>Kevin King isn’t the long-term answer opposite Jaire Alexander.</p>



<h2>30. Buffalo Bills: Travis Etienne (RB, Clemson) </h2>



<p>GM Brandon Beane adding Alvin Kamara Lite to Josh Allen’s arsenal will keep defensive coordinators up at night.</p>



<h2>31. Baltimore Ravens: Jayson Oweh (EDGE, Penn State)</h2>



<p>A size-speed specimen to replace Matthew Judon, and for Wink Martindale to develop quickly.</p>



<h2>32. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Christian Barmore (DT, Alabama)</h2>



<p>Ndamukong Suh and Steve McLendon are long in the tooth.&nbsp;</p>
