2021 NFL Mock Draft: Full 3-round projections after Pro Day workouts
The Cardinals are one tight end away from having one of the most dominant passing offenses in the league next season.
The addition of Carlos Basham will be a suitable replacement for Shaq Lawson along the edge from last season.
The middle linebacker position is the one position in their loaded defense that isn’t complete. There is only one true middle linebacker on their roster as well.
Even though Chicago used the franchise tag on wide receiver Allen Robinson, the Bears need more talent for their 22nd ranked passing offense (228.4 passing yards per game).
The Titans continue to make serious moves for their secondary after being unable to retain cornerback Malcolm Butler.
Indianapolis needs to be more concerned at protecting quarterback Carson Wentz than the Philadelphia Eagles this past season.
Pittsburgh lost several structures of its offensive line. They already feel they cannot fully rely on their quarterback’s health to get them back to a Super Bowl. Pittsburgh needs solid pass protection in this draft.
Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson created chaos in the league and the locker room about his lack of pass protection. The offensive line gave up 48 sacks this past season, tied for fifth-most in the league, this has to change.
With the Rams addressing the offense in free agency, they will need to address their biggest defensive needs in the draft.
Baltimore’s defense gave up 3,536 passing yards and 22 passing touchdowns this past season. A move in the deep secondary is the most concerning area at this point in the draft.
The Browns need more impact receivers as they dropped in productivity with the injury to Odell Beckham Jr.
Now that Drew Brees is retired, the Saints are looking for a reasonable backup (and potential franchise quarterback) to Jameis Winston. New Orleans has been evaluating Kyle Trask extensively.
Buffalo could use more another efficient cornerback on the opposite side of Tre’Davious White.
The next step for the Packers to compete for a Super Bowl with quarterback Aaron Rodgers is to find a reliable pass protector on the edge.
The middle of the defense was also overly exposed in Super Bowl LV. Chazz Surratt will consistently provide run support and zone coverage.
Tampa Bay’s goal in this draft is to select the best players available. Zaven Collins is a raw prospect that will develop efficiently and learn from the talented veterans on the defense.
