2021 NFL Mock Draft, 3 Rounds: Chiefs bolster O-line after Super Bowl loss
By Randy Gurzi
65. Jacksonville Jaguars: Paulson Adebo, CB, Stanford
There was a point where Paulson Adebo looked to be a day one pick, and now he kicks off the third round. This could be a great value pick for the Jaguars.
66. New York Jets: Javonte Williams, RB, North Carolina
The Jets go back to the offensive side of the ball with Javonte Williams from North Carolina. He went for 1,140 yards and 19 touchdowns last season and catapulted up draft boards.
67. Houston Texans: Levi Onwuzurike, IDL, Washington
The 288-pound Levi Onwuzurike was an interior defensive lineman at Washington but could line up as an end in the Texans’ front.
68. Atlanta Falcons: Baron Browning, LB, Ohio State
The Falcons need more depth on defense and Varon Browning gives them a solid tackling 240-pound linebacker.
69. Cincinnati Bengals: Elijah Moore, WR, Ole Miss
The Bengals add Elijah Moore, a diminutive wideout who had 1,193 yards for Ole Miss last season. Just another weapon for Joe Burrow.
70. Philadelphia Eagles: Dillon Radunz, OT, North Dakota State
While they could be kicking out one North Dakota State product, the Eagles take another here in Dillon Radunz. He needs work against elite competition but there’s a lot to like about his game.
71. Denver Broncos: Cameron McGrone, LB, Michigan
Cameron McGrone didn’t get to do much this season since Michigan only played a handful of games but he was solid as a sophomore.
72. Detroit Lions: Quincy Roche, EDGE, Miami
Had Quincy Roche blown up for Miami, he would have been a day one pick. However, he had just 4.5 sacks after getting 13 for Temple in 2019. Even so, he had 14.5 tackles for a loss and should be a decent rotational end.
73. Carolina Panthers: Pete Werner, LB, Ohio State
Another solid linebacker from OSU gets selected here as the Carolina Panthers take Pete Werner.
74. Washington Football Team (via San Francisco 49ers): Richie Grant, S, UCF
Richie Grant is a safety prospect who has gained traction as of late. He lands with Washinton here but a solid offseason could move him higher.
75. Dallas Cowboys: Elijah Molden, CB, Washington
Elijah Molden might not have the measurables they love in Dallas but he’s an absolute steal this late. He would help round out their top picks in this 3-round mock.
76. New York Giants: Hamilcar Rashed Jr., EDGE, Oregon State
The Giants pass rush leaves a lot to be desired which is why they try and bolster it with Hamilcar Rashed from Oregon State.
77. Los Angeles Chargers: Payton Turner, EDGE, Houston
The original 77th pick should have gone to the Patriots, but they had to forfeit that selection. That means the Chargers are on the clock now and they bulk up their pass rush with Payton Turner from Houston.
78. Minnesota Vikings: Hamsah Nasirildeen, S, Florida State
Hamsah Nasirildeen is going to be a starting safety for a long time in the NFL and he’s a steal at this point for the Vikings.
79. Arizona Cardinals: Josh Myers, IOL, Ohio State
Josh Myers should have no problem becoming a fixture in the Arizona Cardinals offensive line. They improve upfront, which will help the entire offense.
80. Las Vegas Raiders: Deonte Brown, IOL, Alabama
Another Alabama player lands with the Raiders. By now, this shouldn’t be shocking.
