2021 NFL Mock Draft: First-round projections pre-Super Bowl week

The Buccaneers could have some keep players leaving their defensive line this offseason, including Ndamukong Suh, and could look to use their late-first round pick to fill that hole. Patrick Jones II was one of the nation’s best edge rushers the last two seasons, racking up 24 tackles for loss and 17.5 sacks. He was not asked to drop back in coverage a lot in college so he will be just given the task to be disruptive along the line and get to the backfield as quickly as possible.

The biggest hole for the Chiefs to fill during the offseason will be that of the one in their interior part of their offensive line. And when you have Patrick Mahomes, finding players to keep him upright should always be your No. 1 priority Alijah Vera-Tucker would be the perfect fit to solve this issue. Vera-Tucker is versatile, playing on both the outside and inside of the Trojans’ offensive line during his college career. He is someone who has been climbing up big boards all season long and could be a steal for the Chiefs if he slips this far.

So there you have it. Who do you think your team will draft? Or where do you think your favorite college players will end up? The Super Bowl still has to be played and there is still the craziness of free agency to be taken place, but one this is for sure, there is a lot of talent in the 2021 NFL Draft, the kind of talent that can change an NFL franchise for the next decade.
