2021 NFL Mock Draft: Jets make Justin Fields No. 1 pick, Cowboys target Penei Sewell

We’ve most certainly seen a lot of the things from the Cleveland Browns that many expected to see in 2019 — perhaps we were just a year early and Kevin Stefanski away from being right. Regardless, the Browns sit at 6-3 as they come into Week 11 and have the opportunity to make some strides in the years to come. That should start with addressing the linebacker spot.

Even before the departure of Joe Schobert, this was a problem area in Cleveland and his leaving only worsened the issues there. Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah could be the answer. The Notre Dame product is insanely athletic and checks all the boxes of a first-round linebacker with his ability to fill gaps, tackle well and also drop into coverage effectively.

The Indianapolis Colts are in a tricky spot as it pertains to their future. Though they could stand to upgrade at cornerback, their defense is in a good position. But the offense has questions. Philip Rivers isn’t getting any younger and has looked shaky at many points of the year. Though quarterback was a consideration because of that, they instead look to get Rivers (or Jacoby Brissett or Jacob Eason) another weapon.

Wide receiver is a problem area for the Colts right now as TY Hilton can’t stay healthy and Michael Pittman Jr. is just getting his feet wet. That’s why they land Rashod Bateman out of Minnesota in this spot. Bateman is a big-play threat who can win at all levels of the field and in all different scenarios. He’s a weapon that the Colts need to add for the future viability of the offense.
