2021 NFL Mock Draft: 49ers land Justin Fields after trade as QBs go 1-2-3-4; Dolphins, Eagles get top WRs – CBS Sports
Projected Team
| PROSPECT RNK1st | POSITION RNK1st |
Will this change? No chance. He’s the clear top pick in this draft. The Jaguars did do some good things in free agency to help him.
Projected Team
| PROSPECT RNK2nd | POSITION RNK2nd |
They would be moving on from Sam Darnold with this pick, but if Wilson is what some think he will become, it’s the right move. Wilson has some Aaron Rodgers to his game.
Projected Team
| PROSPECT RNK10th | POSITION RNK4th |
He is a raw prospect, so he could spend a year or so behind Matt Ryan. His mobility would work in their offense. Lance needs to work on his mechanics.
Projected Team
| PROSPECT RNK5th | POSITION RNK1st |
By signing veteran Riley Reiff, they can pass on a tackle here and take the best offensive weapon in this class. They could come back and get a tackle later in the draft. Pitts would become a big-time favorite of Joe Burrow.
Projected Team
| PROSPECT RNK3rd | POSITION RNK1st |
The Dolphins move down, get a player they might have taken at No. 3 and add an extra first-round pick in doing so. That’s killing the draft.
Projected Team
| PROSPECT RNK8th | POSITION RNK2nd |
The Lions have issues outside in their passing game, even with the additions of a few receivers in free agency. In this mock, they opt for Waddle over DeVonta Smith.
Projected Team
| PROSPECT RNK4th | POSITION RNK1st |
They have an issue at left tackle and this kid would step in and start right away. They could also make a play to move up and get a quarterback.
Projected Team
| PROSPECT RNK6th | POSITION RNK1st |
They upgraded in a big way at corner in free agency by landing Kyle Fuller and Ronald Darby, so it’s time up improve the linebacker group. Parsons can be an every-down player. He does have some character questions.
Projected Team
| PROSPECT RNK15th | POSITION RNK2nd |
They have to get help at corner and Surtain impressed last week at his pro day. I think he’s the top corner in this draft. He’s polished.
Projected Team
| PROSPECT RNK36th | POSITION RNK2nd |
They helped their team in some critical spots in free agency, mostly corner and receiver, and now they can address another major problem by taking an edge rusher.
Projected Team
| PROSPECT RNK9th | POSITION RNK3rd |
They have to get better in the passing game and Smith would help do that. Jalen Hurts looks like he’s their quarterback, so why not get him some help?
Projected Team
| PROSPECT RNK13th | POSITION RNK2nd |
They let Riley Reiff go, which means they need a left tackle. Slater has some impressive tape from 2019, but he did opt out last year. He also could play guard if they want to play Ezra Cleveland at tackle.
Projected Team
| PROSPECT RNK19th | POSITION RNK5th |
They have Cam Newton on a one-year deal, so landing a future starter makes sense. Jones could sit and watch and then take over next season with all the new weapons the Pats signed in free agency having a year under the belt in the offense.
Projected Team
| PROSPECT RNK69th | POSITION RNK4th |
They lost Patrick Peterson in free agency and needed a young corner even if he had stayed. They did sign veteran Malcom Butler and brought back Robert Alford, but Newsome is an impressive player when you watch him on tape.
Projected Team
| PROSPECT RNK35th | POSITION RNK5th |
They need help at corner and Horn is the type of player who can step in and start right away. He had an impressive pro day workout last week to help his cause.
Projected Team
| PROSPECT RNK28th | POSITION RNK4th |
The versatile run-and-chase linebacker would fit perfectly in their scheme. He can also rush the passer from the edge, with some scouts thinking that would be his strength on the next level.
Projected Team
| PROSPECT RNK17th | POSITION RNK4th |
They still have questions at left tackle. Even if they can settle on a player there, Tucker has also played guard in his career. He could easily move inside.
Projected Team
| PROSPECT RNK24th | POSITION RNK5th |
Their tackle situation is problematic on the right side, and Jenkins could step in and start right away. He is a nasty player who would fit their offense.
Projected Team
| PROSPECT RNK46th | POSITION RNK4th |
He is a player who scouts seem to like a lot more than the draft analysts. He has the size and speed to be a nice edge player in their defense.
Projected Team
| PROSPECT RNK22nd | POSITION RNK5th |
They lost Corey Davis to free agency, so adding a speedy replacement would make sense, even if they did add Josh Reynolds in free agency. Toney is a dynamic playmaker who would give Ryan Tannehill another threat to go with A.J. Brown.
Projected Team
| PROSPECT RNK55th | POSITION RNK1st |
Taking Perkins would give the Jets a nice 1-2 pass-rushing combo in Robert Saleh’s defense with Perkins and Carl Lawson, who was signed as a free agent. They could go receiver here as well.
Projected Team
| PROSPECT RNK144th | POSITION RNK24th |
They need to find a left tackle with Alejandro Villanueva a free agent, even if Villanueva does come back. Eichenberg is a good, solid player who can step in and start right away.
Projected Team
| PROSPECT RNK30th | POSITION RNK1st |
They need speed in the backfield and Etienne is a home-run threat. Why not add him with his quarterback in the same round?
Projected Team
| PROSPECT RNK20th | POSITION RNK2nd |
They need to get some edge help for Myles Garrett. They did a nice job upgrading the secondary in free agency, but it won’t matter as much if they don’t get Garrett some help.
Projected Team
| PROSPECT RNK16th | POSITION RNK2nd |
The Ravens lost two edge players in free agency in Yannick Ngakoue (Raiders) and Matt Judon (Patriots). They have to come out of this draft with some edge help. Ojulari could end up being the best of this edge group.
Projected Team
| PROSPECT RNK11th | POSITION RNK1st |
The back injury will drop Farley down to this spot, which will allow the Saints to land one of the top physical corners in the draft. The Saints need a young corner to develop in their defense.
Projected Team
| PROSPECT RNK18th | POSITION RNK4th |
Can you imagine Moore in their offense? He would add a dimension in the passing game that would really create issues for a defense. Yes, he is small, but he can fly.
Projected Team
| PROSPECT RNK12th | POSITION RNK1st |
Their pass rush is in need of an upgrade, so landing Paye here would work. He is raw, but there is a lot of talent to mold into a quality edge player.
Projected Team
| PROSPECT RNK21st | POSITION RNK1st |
Oweh needs some work on his technique, but he plays hard and he has a ton of talent. Lost in the poor play of the Chiefs’ offensive line in the Super Bowl was their inability to pressure the quarterback. Oweh would help fix that.
Projected Team
| PROSPECT RNK32nd | POSITION RNK3rd |
Yes, they are bringing Ndamukong Suh back on a one-year deal. But they need a player inside for the future. Onwuzurike opted out last year, but he is a power player.
