2021 NFL Mock Draft: First-round projections pre-Super Bowl week
Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. OL. Ohio State. Wyatt Davis. 10. player. 123
The Dallas Cowboys have never been one to shy away from drafting an offensive lineman in the first round. Given that Tyron Smith missed a good portion of last season, and is entering season No. 11, it is probably time to start thinking about finding his replacement and adding depth to their line. The Cowboys might shift around their line with this new addition, as Wyatt Davis is a guard out of Ohio State, who at 6-foot-4, 315 pounds, is an athlete and will help keep Dak Prescott upright for the next 5-6 years.
11. player. Scouting Report. Michigan. Kwity Paye. Pick Analysis. EDGE. 31
The Giants should move on from Daniel Jones but given the top three quarterbacks are gone at this point, they move to the defensive side of the ball to address their defensive end position. Kwity Paye is an edge rusher. He has size and quickness and is excellent in stopping the run and getting to the quarterback. Although this is the 11th overall pick, this could be a steal for the Giants, or for anyone else who has the opportunity to draft Paye.
CB. South Carolina. Jaycee Horn. 12. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 42
Get your cell phones out because this draft is filled with former-NFL blood, and one of the biggest names highlighting that trend is Jaycee Horn, son of retired wide receiver Joe Horn. The 49ers could lose almost every cornerback they have with the potential departures of Richard Sherman, Jason Verrett and K’Waun Williams. Their replacement will be asked to step in and immediately lock up players like D.K. Metcalf and DeAndre Hopkins and Horn is just the right man for the job.
