2021 NFL Mock Draft: Zach Wilson rises to Jets at No. 2 in 3-round projection
By Randy Gurzi
81. Miami Dolphins: Payton Turner, EDGE, Houston
This kid has a non-stop motor. Payton Turner deserves to go much higher than this but the buzz doesn’t seem to be there. He’s going to be a fan favorite though.
82. Washington Football Team: Paulson Adebo, CB, Stanford
Paulson Adebo has talent to go much higher but needs to put it all together.
83. Chicago Bears: Spencer Brown, OT, Northern Iowa
Spencer Brown is a big offensive tackle who has a lot of upside — if he can be coached up.
84. Philadelphia Eagles (via Indianapolis Colts): Hamsah Nasirildeen, S, Florida State
Hamsah Nasirildeen is a lengthy safety who offers great range. The Eagles need to rebuild their
entire team
secondary, and he helps tremendously.
85. Tennessee Titans: Dyami Brown, WR, North Carolina
Corey Davis might be on the way out, which means the Titans do need someone to play opposite A.J. Brown. Dyami Brown is a perfect fit and really an under-appreciated prospect.
86. New York Jets (via Seattle Seahawks): Jabril Cox, LB, LSU
Jabril Cox jumped up boards after the Senior Bowl but still lasts until pick No. 86. The Jets are fine with that becasue he’s a steal at this point.
87. Pittsburgh Steelers: Seth Williams, WR, Auburn
6-foot-2 and 224-pounds, Seth Williams is a great addition for the Steelers, especially if JuJu Smith-Schuster leaves in free agency.
88. Detroit Lions (via Los Angeles Rams): Marlon Tuipulotu, IDL, USC
After getting a wide receiver at No. 7, the Lions have been all about defense. That continues with the addition of Marlon Tuipulotu.
89. Cleveland Browns: Trill Williams, CB, Syracuse
Greedy Williams being back means the Browns don’t have to reach for a cornerback. Instead, they landed a new defensive end and wideout early and now get Trill Williams from Syracuse at 89. Williams has the talent to play in a rotation now but can be a starter one day.
90. Minnesota Vikings (via Baltimore Ravens): Osa Odighizuwa, IDL, UCLA
Minnesota begins to rebuild the interior of its defensive line with Osa Odighizuwa. A 280-pound three-technique, Odighizuwa had 11.5 sacks in four seasons for the Bruins and can bring the heat from the interior.
91. Cleveland Browns (via New Orleans Saints) Cameron McGrone, LB, Michigan
Another defender here, the Browns take Cameron McGrone from Michigan. Fans won’t like that he came from Michigan but they will forgive him when he puts on the orange and brown and plays smart, efficient football for them.
92. Green Bay Packers: Tylan Wallace, WR, Oklahoma State
Finally, Aaron Rodgers gets a new wide receiver to throw to. The front office seems determined not to use premium picks on another wideout, but at least Tylan Wallace has the skill to be a decent No. 2 option.
93. Buffalo Bills: Jamin Davis, LB, Kentucky
At 6-foot-4 and 234-pounds, Jamin Davis is a rangy linebacker who burst onto the scene with 102 tackles and three picks for the Kentucky Wildcats last year. If Buffalo loses Matt Milano, this could be a good replacement.
94. Kansas City Chiefs: Deonte Brown, IOL, Alabama
The Chiefs offensive line dealt with a lot of injuries in 2020, so they add depth here with Deonte Brown from Alabama.
95. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Monty Rice, LB, Georgia
Georgia linebackers have typically been decent when they make it to the NFL. Monty Rice might not ever be a household name but he’s a sure tackler who can make the plays when called upon.
