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.
As free agency and the draft approach, every team has some level of excitement. Some teams are looking to contend in 2021. Others only want to move in the right direction. However, the NFL is unique in that every team has a chance to win the Super Bowl each season.
Let’s continue with the AFC South.
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.
One of the most productive players in ACC history, Travis Etienne, heads into the NFL Draft after amassing over 4,900 yards on the ground during his four-year career at Clemson. A threat to score every time he touches the football, he possesses excellent burst and balance out of the backfield while maintaining the straight-line speed to outrun opposing defenders.
Mitchell and “Dorm Room Dispute” celebrate Opening Day with optimism and provide some White Sox propaganda. He also theorizes that
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.
