2021 NFL Mock Draft: Full 3-round projections after Pro Day workouts
The Jets missed the efficiency of C.J. Mosley, who opted out of the 2020 NFL season due to the impact of COVID-19. Even with Mosley returning, the Jets need more talented players in the middle of their defense.
Pittsburgh needs more reliable cornerbacks in multiple-man coverage situations. Benjamin St-Juste could also learn and potentially take over the aging Joe Haden.
The Rams need an upgrade in the offensive line with efficiency and youth, especially along with the interior.
While the Browns signed Jadeveon Clowney to a one-year deal, the Browns will other options for efficient edge rushers especially if he only stays for one season.
The Vikings continue to make a serious upgrade at the secondary for a defense ranked 25th in the league in passing yards allowed per game (258.8).
The Browns gave up 31 passing touchdowns this past season as they need more contributing cornerbacks for 2021.
Kevin King returning for Green Bay was significant but the Packers still need to find more reliable press coverage cornerbacks.
Dyami Brown becomes another reliable and dynamic weapon for an already explosive offense in Buffalo.
Kansas City adds depth at the defensive tackle especially in the one-technique with a huge defender in Marvin Wilson.
The Bucs still have not signed Antonio Brown. With the draft being this close, there is reason to believe that he will return to Tampa Bay.
Julian Edelman’s release turned retirement makes the situation of a lack of productive receivers for New England much more difficult.
The Chargers did not get a lot of impact in the pass rush outside of Joey Bosa in the previous season.
New Orleans is in desperate need of a number two receiver as they couldn’t resign Emmanuel Sanders due to a disastrous salary cap situation.
Outside of Dalton Schultz (615 yards), the Cowboys didn’t have a tight end account for over 110 receiving yards.
The Titans add depth at the edge rusher position, which is a position group that lacked efficiency for several seasons.
The addition of Kellen Mond to Detroit would make him the potential No. 2 option at the quarterback position.
In the six picks in the first three rounds for Miami, this selection will be the second defensive player selected so far.
Los Angeles only has seven wide receivers on their roster as well as serious contributors as they will try to vamp up their passing offense.
The Baltimore Ravens lost their number two receiver in Willie Snead. Even with the addition of Sammy Watkins, Cade Johnson becomes a serious target for quarterback Lamar Jackson.
With the loss of Trey Hendrickson, the Saints will need to find a suitable replacement for his 13.5 sacks opposite from Cam Jordan.
