2021 NFL Mock Draft: Justin Fields takes Washington, Packers get Rashod Bateman

Tua Tagovailoa will be taking over for the Miami Dolphins and we already landed him a pass-blocker in this mock. Now, we add a pass-catcher for him and it’s a player he knows well. Devonta Smith had a breakout season in 2019 with 1,256 yards and 14 touchdowns. He does everything well as a receiver and his rapport with Tua is an added bonus.

The Dallas Cowboys defense is a mess and the only thing they seem to be able to defend right now is themselves as they have gone to the media to put all the blame on the coaching staff. While the staff has been bad, the players aren’t executing anything that remotely resembles a gameplan.

With Dak Prescott out, they might end up higher than this by season’s end but as of now, they’re winning their awful division. With all that being said, we use this selection on Ohio State cornerback Shaun Wade. Pairing him with Trevon Diggs can help the Cowboys secondary become what they aren’t as of now — competent.

So far, the Matt Rhule era is looking impressive for the Carolina Panthers. They have been winning games and have done so without Christian McCaffrey. Here, they add EDGE Kwity Paye as they continue to rebuild that defense.

Joe Thuney likely won’t be back in 2021, which means the New England Patriots will need a new offensive guard. Creed Humphrey is a plug-and-play starter who should help that line continue to operate smoothly.
