2021 NFL Mock Draft: 49ers land Mac Jones, Kyle Pitts falls to Giants
By Randy Gurzi
33. Jacksonville Jaguars: Eric Stokes, CB, Georgia
Now Jacksonville gets the second round started with a defensive back from Georgia by the name of Eric Stokes. The SEC product blew people away with his 40-yard dash time and can help solidify the back end of this defense.
34. New York Jets: Rondale Moore, WR, Purdue
New York adds another pass-catcher for Zach Wilson in Rondale Moore, who is a dynamic weapon. It should be a lot of fun to watch him and Wilson grow together.
35. Atlanta Falcons: Jayson Oweh, EDGE, Penn State
Takk McKinley failed to live up to the hype in Atlanta so now they look for a developmental edge rusher with pick 35 here in Jayson Oweh from Penn State.
36. Miami Dolphins (via Houston Texans): Travis Etienne, RB, Clemson
Taking some of the pressure off of Tua would do a lot for his growth. That’s why Miami takes Travis Etienne at No. 36. Etienne can do it all and is the type of back a young quarterback needs.
37. Philadelphia Eagles: Aaron Robinson, CB, UCF
Philly needs more help in the secondary and Aaron Robinson could be an early contributor for them.
38. Cincinnati Bengals: Pat Freiermuth, TE, Penn State
A massive target from Penn State, Pat Freiermuth could become a red-zone target for Joe Burrow in Cinncinatti.
39. Carolina Panthers: Kelvin Joseph, CB, Kentucky
Kelvin Joseph rose up draft boards as of late and helps the Panthers’ defense take another step in the right direction.
40. Denver Broncos: Liam Eichenberg, OT, Notre Dame
Considered by many to be a plug-and-play starter, Liam Eichenberg can play in several different spots for Denver. It just depends where they see him best suited.
41. Detroit Lions: Asante Samuel, JR., CB, Florida State
The son of a former Pro Bowler with the same name, Asante Samuel joins a throwback coach in Dan Campbell with Detroit.
42. New York Giants: Amari Rodgers, WR, Clemson
More wideout help for Daniel Jones. He won’t have any excuses after 2021.
43. San Francisco 49ers: Wyatt Davis, IOL, Ohio State
A big body who can open up running lanes, the 49ers will be thrilled to land Wyatt Davis here.
44. Dallas Cowboys: Jalen Mayfield, OT, Michigan
Injuries to both their offensive tackles doomed the Cowboys season even before Dak Prescott broke his ankle. They’re bringing Tyron Smith and La’el Collins back but Jalen Mayfield will be the future at one spot — most likely the left side.
45. Jacksonville Jaguars (via Minnesota Vikings): Javonte Williams, RB, North Carolina
James Robinson did fantastic as a rookie but banking on him to continue to carry the load might not be ideal. That’s why he gets some help in Javonte Williams from North Carolina.
46. New England Patriots: Levi Onwuzurike, IDL, Washington
Levi Onwuzurike can play a couple of different spots on the defensive line which is something the Patriots won’t be able to pass up at this point.
47. Los Angeles Chargers: Ronnie Perkins, EDGE, Oklahoma
Melvin Ingram isn’t coming back so Joey Bosa needs a new pass-rushing partner. Enter Ronnie Perkins from Oklahoma.
48. Las Vegas Raiders: Nick Bolton, LB, Missouri
A quick-rising prospect, some believe Nick Bolton could be a day one pick. He lands with Las Vegas at 46, which is a great value for them.
