2021 NFL Mock Draft: Full 3-round projections after Pro Day workouts

The secondary for the Jaguars continue to be the biggest issue as they will need more impact and talent from the entire third level.

The offensive line should have been the position group that needed the most help and not the quarterback position. Regardless, the Jets need more of an upgrade even with Mekhi Becton playing well as a rookie.

No one knows what is going to happen to Deshaun Watson in the upcoming NFL season. Davis Mills has been trending towards being a potential franchise quarterback level which could make starting over in Houston easier.

Last season, Atlanta had the worst pass defense (293.6 passing yards allowed per game) in the entire league. Any move in the draft that includes selecting a player in the secondary would be considered an upgrade.

Cincinnati has not been the same since trading away Carlos Dunlap in the middle of the season. They also lost Carl Lawson to the New York Jets via free agency. They need a legitimate starting edge rusher.

Another former teammate of Jalen Hurts joins him as the Eagles need more consistency at the interior offensive line.

After the departure of Todd Gurley, the Falcons’ best running back will be Mike Davis, who rushed for 642 and six touchdowns in 15 games played for Carolina and a former receiver in Cordarrelle Patterson. Javonte Williams will be a step up at the position.

Detroit was ranked 28th in the league this past season in rushing yards allowed per game (134.9). They will need more impact in the middle of the defensive line.

The Panthers continue to upgrade their offense with another speedy receiver for Sam Darnold.

Injuries have forced Washington to bring some depth at the position in an already loaded safety position group.

The loss of Aldon Smith hurts the Cowboys’ defensive line in the pass rush and run support. Ronnie Perkins will be a potential candidate for immediate impact at the edge.

While they drafted Jaelen Phillips in the first round, the Giants could use more pass rush specialists at different areas on the defense.

Derwin James plays at an elite level but he missed all of last season and only played five games in 2019 due to injuries. Jamar Johnson will be insurance in case James suffers another setback.

The Vikings gave up 30 passing touchdowns this past season as the cornerback group still needs a serious upgrade.

The defensive tackle position was a position group that could have been addressed in the first round. Getting Jay Tufele in the third round will be a steal especially after some highly questionable cuts this close to the draft.

One pick later, the Raiders make a pick to address their short passing game and give Derek Carr a reliable target.

The Dolphins shifted around their running backs too many times as they didn’t have a player rush for over 584 yards. They will need a suitable and explosive No. 1 option at the running back.

Washington gets a starting-caliber wide receiver in Rodgers, who could be the No. 1 option for Fitzpatrick.

While addressing the offensive line this late in the draft is not ideal, the Bears can get a steal for a significant starter in the interior offensive line.

While Jalen Hurts is entering the season as the number one option, the Eagles might not be so confident in their backup quarterback Joe Flacco.

Outside of A.J. Brown and Corey Davis, the Titans didn’t have much of an impact player at the receiver position. Now Davis is with the New York Jets via free agency.
