Summary

The sequel to Part I of the 2021 Mock Draft Extravaganza begins with a flashback. Last week, Jenny and Gary had the Panthers selecting Justin Fields with the eighth overall pick. Now that they've traded for Sam Darnold, would a first-round QB still make sense for Carolina? Conor joins Jenny and Gary to discuss.

Then, the next eight teams are up, from the Broncos picking ninth to the Cardinals with the 16th selection.

Among those picks: Finding a home for Mac Jones—how high can the fifth quarterback go? A conversation on whether the Cowboys should go for more offense or address a rebuilding D, and the Eagles' never-ending search for pass-catching weapons continues into the 2021 draft. Also, the pros and cons of the Patriots making a move for a quarterback, how Danielle Hunter’s contract situation factors into the Vikings’ pick, and why the Cardinals might need a receiver in this draft after all.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the MMQB Monday morning NFL
0:07.4	podcast. I'm your host Gary Gremlin. I am joined by Jenny Rentis of the
0:11.8	Weekside Podcast.
0:13.0	Jenny, how's it going?
0:14.0	I'm doing great, Gary.
0:15.0	And we are joined by Connor Orr of the Weekside Podcast.
0:19.0	Connor, how is it going?
0:21.0	It's good.
0:22.0	You kind of introduced the show like you and Jenny were hanging out and then I imposed on this.
0:27.1	But well, hi.
0:29.1	Well, we started the first eight last week, Connor I guess you know maybe that's what he was
0:35.4	setting up.
0:36.4	Well I was going to say yeah.
0:39.9	The two of you are probably wondering why I called you in here on on this Sunday evening and
0:44.6	you're both fired. No, no, but we're at part two of the mock draft and I want to get into it like this. As you know we are a
0:56.7	podcast of laws and one of those laws is that when we do the mock draft series we do not undo picks from previous iterations.
1:08.0	Oh. Now when we tape last week's show and I will recap the first eight picks in case you miss the show if you miss the show shame on you but I'll do you the favor and and recap the top eight picks in a second we are at pick nine with the Broncos but pick eight to the Panthers Jenny and I gave them Justin Fields. We finished
1:26.2	the show and a few hours later the the Panthers traded for Sam Donald. Now do
1:31.4	we revisit that pick? I say no and frankly I think if Justin Fields falls to the
1:38.4	Panthers they should take them. I don't think you can pencil in Sam
1:42.0	Donald as your surefire quarterback in the future.
1:44.5	So that's my take on it.
