It’s probably much better than most of my mocks. I don’t think that I’ve ever had more than five or six true hits. 

Right team. Right player. Right spot.

1.   Jacksonville Jaguars-Trevor Lawrence, QB, Clemson
2.   New York Jets-Zach Wilson, QB, BYU
4.   Atlanta Falcons-Kyle Pitts, TE, Florida
5.   Cincinnati Bengals-Ja’Marr Chase, WR, LSU
6.   Miami Dolphins-Jaylen Waddle, WR, Alabama
13. Los Angeles Chargers-Rashawn Slater, OT, Northwestern
15. New England Patriots-Mac Jones, QB, Alabama
16. Arizona Cardinals-Zaven Collins, LB, Missouri
27. Baltimore Ravens-Rashod Batemen, WR, Minnesota 

Right team. Right player. Wrong spot. 

10. Philadelphia Eagles-DeVonta Smith, WR, Alabama
-I had the Eagles picking Smith at #12

Right Player. Right spot. Wrong team. 

14. New York Jets-Alijah Vera-Tucker, OL, USC
-I had the Vikings selecting Vera-Tucker at #14

I feel like I was more right than the league about Micah Parsons. I felt at the time that #7 was too low for him but the first six teams seemed locked in on six specific players/positions. There’s no way Parsons should’ve been on the board at #10. There’s definitely no way he should’ve still been available to the Cowboys after a trade down to #12. For as long as he plays football, Parsons is going to make several teams regret passing on him.
