The first 18 picks in the 2021 NFL Draft are set. With that said, the team needs are becoming abundantly clear, and with a great quarterback class, some teams could look radically different. Moreover, this is not a trade heavy mock draft and only has one trade at the end. The order is based on the website Tankathon, which uses the strength of schedule (SOS) and up to date records to determine the draft order.
The 2021 offensive line class is deep. After last year had four tackles go within the first 15 picks, teams are finally starting to fix their offensive line woes. This year, there may not be four tackles to go off of the board within the first 15 picks, but there are plenty of prospects that could be in the conversation for the first round. No player has had a better pre-draft process during the NFL season than Rashawn Slater. His 2019 tape was excellent, and as a result, he opted out of the 2020 season.
This last weekend, Trevon Moehrig followed in Ar’Darius Washington’s footsteps by declaring for the draft. The safety tandem was the best in college football, and now both will be in the NFL following April’s draft. Moehrig is the better of the two and has a chance to be the first safety selected in the draft.
As we enter the final Sunday of the regular season, the Jacksonville Jaguars and New York Jets have the first and second overall picks locked up, respectively. There are plenty of playoff implications and possible draft position shuffling going into this final week. The Jaguars are on the clock.
Tylan Wallace has been on the NFL’s radar for some time now. He has had a significant drop in the rankings thanks to other receivers having elite production in this covid-plagued season. In another stacked receiver class, Wallace could be a steal found on day two for a receiver-needy team looking for a number two option outside of their top threat.
Heralded for his 600 lb squats and 4.33-second 40-yard dash, Rondale Moore is one of the most intriguing prospects to enter the 2021 NFL draft. His rare combination of shiftiness and burst allows Moore to become a game-breaking weapon that defenses and special teams get nightmares about. Injuries have been the plague of this stud athlete, but when he has been on the field, few have been as dazzling as Moore.
Notre Dame quarterback Ian Book has turned heads just months before the 2021 NFL Draft. A true senior, the Fighting Irish signal-caller poses as a threat with his impressive athleticism and strong throwing mechanics.
The man who is undefeated in tag, Chatarius “TuTu” Atwell, is by far one of the most intriguing prospects in the 2021 NFL Draft. His jaw-dropping speed and big-play ability combine to create some of the greatest highlights from this year’s prospects; however, he has some extreme flaws that may cripple any chance of his success in the NFL. Only time will tell if this player will be a gem or a bust.
Kyle Trask is your standard accurate, medium-armed quarterback with some special traits. From barely playing in high school, sitting behind D’Eriq King, to potentially never playing in college, sitting behind Felipe Franks, Trask has served his time sitting and learning from some of the best. An unfortunate injury to Franks led to Trask’s first starts, which showed the world his precision and poise, leading to his ascension to first-round buzz. In the correct scheme, Trask will be a steady, consistent starter for years to come.
Malik Cunningham is the most intriguing quarterback prospect in the 2021 NFL Draft. He has the running ability of Lamar Jackson, but he acts as a quarterback that can run, not a running back that can throw. Being part of the most unique offense arguably in the country, Cunningham is the most difficult prospect to project to the next level, as no team in the NFL has the speed that Louisville uses to overwhelm its opponents. His surprising accuracy, countered by his scheme dependent decision making, combines with his athleticism to create the most confusing projection arguably in the history of the NFL draft at the quarterback position. In the right scheme with the correct coaching, Cunningham can become a lethal Swiss army knife.
Elijah Moore appears to be a standard quick-twitch slot wide receiver; however, his play demonstrates a wide range of qualities that translate smoothly into the NFL. Moore competed with A.J. Brown and D.K. Metcalf from the jump at Ole Miss, making it hard for him to earn a starting role. His friendship with Brown has aided his development into the Biletnikoff award conversation. While some will remember Moore as the man who did the infamous celebration in the egg bowl in 2019, many will remember him for his jaw-dropping talent on the field. Moore projects well into any scheme in need of a dynamic, versatile slot weapon.
The New York Jets couldn’t even tank right as they won their first game this week over the Los Angeles Rams. Following all the action in Week 15, let’s roll into another mock draft featuring a couple of trades.
