The bfiner Mock (2021)

We've spent a lot of our early draft picks on offense, but we've also spent a ton of FA $'s on D the past two years.  Realistically, both G spots and X WR have worse starters than anyone penciled in on the starting defense.  

1.) Lawson was top 10 in pressures last season and sacks created. Hendrickson benefited from playing  on a loaded Defensive line in new Orleans that always had the lead. 
Further more Hendrickson has had just one good season in the NFL combated to Lawson who has been a significant contributor all three years he played.
As for Atkins the guy has been a pillar for this Defense and is a HOF player. Larry isn't .

And what you said about Jackson is 100% pure BS .

Both units have wholes on defense the LB core is unproven, we don't have a true #1 CB, and were ridiculously thin at Defensive line.
 On offense we need IOl, a stretch WR, and a stretch TE.
