Last thing before we start: Some context on the Rumor Mill Mock Draft. (Pick #1 coming up next!)
1. Jacksonville #Jaguars: Trevor Lawrence, QB, #ClemsonTigers

When asked by NBC Sports’ @peter_king if Lawrence would be the pick, #Jags coach Urban Meyer said, "I'd have to say that's the direction we're going."

This is the pick for #duuuval. #Mock4Good
2. New York Jets: Zach Wilson, QB, #BYUCougars

This has been the pick in nearly all expert mocks for over a month. It would be shocking to see #GangGreen go in any other direction. #Mock4Good
3. San Francisco 49ers: Mac Jones, QB, #rolltide

This may not be what #niners fans want to hear, but it'd be foolish to ignore all the signs at this point. @MikeSilver, @MLombardiNFL and others have put out reports that there's a high probability Jones is the pick …cont... ⬇️
Occam’s razor (and almost every insider) says it’s Mac. Also, per @RapSheet’s report on 4/25 and @TonyPauline’s article for PFN on the same day, it appears the choice has been narrowed down to Jones or Lance... cont... ⬇️
@Mcshay13 states in his most recent mock that most people he’s spoken with feel that the pick is being left up to the HC, and Jones fits the prototype Shanahan has had success with in the past. #Mock4Good
4. Atlanta Falcons: Kyle Pitts, TE, #FloridaGators

Some think the #Falcons would draft Lance or Fields if they were to fall past 3, but consensus for weeks has been Jones at 3, and most expert mocks, including @Mcshay13's, have had Pitts as Atlanta’s pick despite... cont... ⬇️
Lance and Fields being available. New HC Arthur Smith and Rookie GM Terry Fontenot are locked into Matt Ryan’s big contract for at least two more years. They can try to make a push into contention by drafting the best non-QB in the draft. #Mock4Good
5. Cincinnati Bengals: JaMarr Chase, WR, #GeauxTigers

@WrightReport called a while back that Cincy would take Chase, and he’s rarely been wrong at predicting the Bengals' pick... cont ⬇️
Those calling for Sewell to the #Bengals may be disappointed. It’s worth noting that some insiders, such as Matt Miller ( #NFLDraftScout) still lean toward the selection being Sewell, but I’m seeing more Chase than Sewell among experts/insiders as of now. #Mock4Good
6. Miami Dolphins: Jaylen Waddle, WR, #rolltide

Per @RapSheet, the #finsup have looked into trading back after their blockbuster deals (from 3 to 12 to 6) in March, but per @NealDriscoll, “Waddle has the attention of everyone. The Dolphins love him for starters.” ...cont... ⬇️
For those who want Devonta Smith to be the selection, just listen to @TonyPauline:

“Somebody said to me, somebody close to the organization, they said when push comes to shove, they don’t know if Chris Grier is going to draft a receiver that is under 170 pounds.” #Mock4Good
Picks 7-32 coming tomorrow (4/28). Stay tuned!
