Here's PFF's analytics draft. Positional values count in this draft. This one is by the numbers only - there's no gut feeling or falling in love with a player - which automatically makes it unrealistic. That potentially makes it even more interesting to me. Trades are allowed.
Deshaun Watson heads to the Miami Dolphins, and Tua Tagovailoa gets swapped twice in Eric Eager and George Chahrouri's 2021 NFL mock draft.

The
mock draft you love to hate is back. This collection of 32 picks, along with their accompanying trades, represents the selections we would make at each position, leaning on our college-to-pro projections and all of the film study and analysis that goes into creating PFF’s
Big Board and
Draft Guide.
Unlike our
initial mock last season, we incorporated trades that made sense for both sides and added some necessary spice, as well as evolved on some notions we ignored last year, including the
value of interior defensive linemen. Some claim the perfect mock is impossible. They were wrong. Enjoy!
========================
At 3, Miami trades Tua and pick 3 + some change to Houston for Deshaun Watson.
At 15, the Pats trade 15 to Houston for Tua.
Yeah. Screw this. I hate it.
