With the 25th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars select…

Offensive Tackle. Jacksonville Jaguars. Teven Jenkins. 25. player. 52.

Jaguars GM (for this pick only): Kole

The Jaguars secured their franchise quarterback and now draft someone to protect him in Teven Jenkins. Jacksonville has a lot of different directions they can go in with their second first-round selection, but adding pass-protection help seems to be the most important goal here. Jenkins gives the Jaguars just that.

Staff Reaction: For a team with a good, young offensive right tackle, the idea of Jenkins doesn’t make much sense. The Jaguars could use help at safety and linebacker, and TCU’s Moehrig would have made a ton of sense as would Florida’s Kadarius Toney, who is the type of scat-back-receiver Urban Meyer utilized along his stops. – John

With the 26th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns select…

26. player. 53. . Defensive Tackle. Cleveland Browns. Christian Barmore

Browns GM: Cullen

Like manna from heaven. How did the best interior defensive lineman fall all the way to No. 26 in this draft? Regardless of the reasons, the Browns are stoked and more than happy to take the 6-foot-5, 310-pound stud out of Alabama.

Last season, Christian Barmore collected 8 sacks from the interior, and that’s against some of the best offensive lines in the country! Cleveland is already on its way up, and nabbing Barmore here will only improve the franchise more.

Staff Reaction: The Browns need to build on their No. 21 ranked defense from a year ago and Barmore definitely will help them do that. It’d be a dream scenario if he was here for Cleveland to take. – Leigh
