Jason Licht and The Tampa Bay Buccaneer brass have opted with the strategy to (for the most part) keep their championship-winning squad intact. It would be wise to start looking towards the future with some big names not getting any younger.
The San Francisco 49ers had a rough 2020 season, winning just six games. Their biggest free agent is Richard Sherman and they will have to attack the secondary in this upcoming draft. Just over a week ago now, the 49ers made a blockbuster trade-up to the third overall pick, which the whole world expects to be in order to take one of the top quarterbacks. Besides cornerback and quarterback, their next biggest need is offensive line help. They currently have three picks in the fifth round and one in each of the other rounds.
The Chicago Bears have been an emotional rollercoaster. The one position that is a major issue is the most important one: quarterback. With an elite defense, not even a mediocre quarterback could make a legitimate playoff run.
The Las Vegas Raiders had an up-and-down first season in Las Vegas. They were very busy during free agency, adding solid options on both sides of the ball. A successful draft will give Las Vegas a good chance of really improving in 2021. Shoring up the defense will likely be a main focus, so let’s dive into this seven-round mock draft.
The Indianapolis Colts were active in re-signing their own this free agency period while sprinkling in some additions from other teams. The needs for Indianapolis haven’t changed much since the beginning of free agency. The additions of Tevi and Davenport don’t dismiss the need for a new left tackle in round one and bringing back Rhodes shouldn’t make the Colts not think about cornerback early.
After hitting a home run on quarterback Justin Herbert, the Los Angeles Chargers look to build the team around him. Free agency saw an emphasis on this with signing Corey Linsley to a long-term contract. Let’s see if Los Angeles can give their star quarterback what he deserves.
After tanking a promising season, the Pittsburgh Steelers look to have one last shot at a Super Bowl. Up against the cap, Pittsburgh needs to strike on multiple picks to fill enormous voids. They simply cannot afford to miss on any picks in this draft.
The Packers once again didn’t sign a big-name on the open market. Following free agency, Green Bay’s teams remain unchanged. Unfortunately, the draft board has vastly changed, and some player’s stocks have soared, while others have fallen.
It was another cellar year for the Broncos as they finished with the lowest record in the AFC West at 5-11. The 2020 season was defined by injuries to top players and a developing offense that faced a few too many obstacles to overcome. That said, notice a lot of these picks are focused on getting the defense younger going forward.
The Carolina Panthers are entering the second year of the Matt Rhule era. In his first draft class, Rhule and the Panthers were the only team to use all their picks on defensive players. After a 5-11 record in 2020, Carolina earned the eighth pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. Let’s take a look at what the future holds for Carolina.
After almost reaching the playoffs for the first time since 2016, the Miami Dolphins are hungry for victory. With a young commander, Tua Tagovailoa, at the helm, surrounding support is needed more than ever. With only a few picks in the 2021 NFL Draft, value is a priority.
After finishing the 2020 season with a 5-11 record, the Detroit Lions have made several changes. The Lions face a long rebuilding process but currently have only six picks in the 2021 NFL Draft this year. As they look towards the future, expect the Lions to be active in trade conversations during the draft.
