. Wide Receiver. Miami Dolphins. Ja'Marr Chase. 5. player. 59

The Miami Dolphins used all three of their first round picks in the 2020 NFL Draft, adding a franchise quarterback in Tua Tagovailoa, a bookend offensive tackle in Austin Jackson, and a solid corner in Noah Igbinoghene. In 2021, they will hold two first round picks, and at pick No. 5, they get Tua a playmaking wide receiver.

Ja’Marr Chase is an absolute star in the making, and after shredding the college football landscape last season, he should be one of the top picks next April. Miami needs a true WR1 at the top of their depth chart, and in Chase, they get the best wide receiver in another very deep wideout class.

87. . Wide Receiver. Carolina Panthers. Justyn Ross. 6. player

The Carolina Panthers decided to move away from Cam Newton this offseason, signing Teddy Bridgewater to a prove-it deal to be the team’s new quarterback. While new head coach Matt Rhule may want to draft his own quarterback in 2021, I like the team to bring in one of the premier wideouts available in Justyn Ross from Miami.

Ross is not going to fall outside of the top-10, and he would join a dynamic offense in Carolina led by running back Christian McCaffrey. Carolina used every 2020 pick on the defensive side of the ball, and in 2021, they focus on the offense, bringing in a guy who should be a 1,000-yard receiver as a rookie.
