2021 NFL Mock Draft: Cowboys surprise with Micah Parsons, 49ers land Mac Jones

The Cleveland Browns have finally started to play well this season but there’s a glaring hole on their team — linebacker. With that being the case, they take Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah out of Notre Dame here. Now, the question here is whether or not Owusu-Koramoah plays linebacker or safety, which was the same thing being said about Isaiah Simmons last season.

For Cleveland, Owusu-Koramoah would be a great fit since they run a defense under Joe Woods that often uses a hybrid safety/linebacker in the nickel formations. He could still play the SAM linebacker in a base defense but what he does that’s really important is make plays — something not enough defenders in Cleveland do.

Michael Pittman had a great game on Thursday Night Football, pulling in seven catches for 101 yards and adding 21 on the ground. He’s starting to come around but he might be best served as part of a great receiving committee which is what the Colts look for here as they add Terrace Marshall, Jr. Out of LSU. Since taking over for Justin Jefferson, Marshall has broken out with nine touchdowns in the first five games of the season for the Tigers.

There’s an argument to be made that Marvin Wilson, Jr. Is a better prospect than Christian Barmore, but Jon Gruden and Mike Mayock have made it no secret that they love Alabama players. They get yet another Crimson Tide pick in the first round as Barmore joins the Las Vegas Raiders here. Pairing him with Maurice Hurst would give them an impressive defensive front.

One of the more exciting prospects in this class is Kyle Pitts and he happens to play the one position the Arizona Cardinals can use an upgrade on. Pairing him with DeAndre Hopkins would give Kyler Murray two incredible security blankets and help him take yet another big step as their franchise quarterback.
