2021 NFL Mock Draft: 49ers land Mac Jones, Kyle Pitts falls to Giants
By Randy Gurzi
65. Jacksonville Jaguars: Josh Myers, IOL, Ohio State
Jacksonville continues to get great value in their selections, landing Josh Meyers to kick off the third. It wouldn’t be surprising to see this kid be a day one starter, making him a steal at 65.
66. New York Jets: James Hudson, OT, Cincinnati
Another great find as James Hudson lands with the Jets at 66. Hudson didn’t play for a school that gets a ton of publicity, which means his talent hasn’t been given the recognition it deserves.
67. Houston Texans: Daviyon Nixon, IDL, Iowa
Houston has a lot of rebuilding to do and not many picks to work with. Thankfully, they land Daviyon Nixon here who can contribute early.
68. Atlanta Falcons: Jabril Cox, LB, LSU
Another Senior Bowl star, Jabril Cox is on the older side for a rookie but he’s still going to be a good player for a long time.
69. Cincinnati Bengals: Carlos Basham, Jr., EDGE, Wake Forest
Carlos Basham might not jump off the tape for any reason, but he’s just a solid player. Cincinnati will really like him.
70. Philadelphia Eagles: Brevin Jordan, TE, Miami
Zach Ertz will likely be gone soon, but Brevin Jordan can take on the No. 2 role as Dallas Goedert moves up the chart.
71. Denver Broncos: Shaun Wade, CB, Ohio State
Shaun Wade hurt his stock returning for his senior season. When put in the right spot (inside corner or possibly safety) he can still get it done.
72. Detroit Lions: Milton Williams, DT, Louisiana Tech
Detroit lost some of their defensive linemen this offseason and they get more depth here.
73. Carolina Panthers: Richie Grant, S, UCF
Another defender in Carolina as their focus seems clear.
74. Washington Football Team (via San Francisco 49ers): Hamsah Nasirildeen, S, Florida State
Hamsah Nasirildeen is 6-4 and moves with ease. He should be a solid deep coverage safety at the next level.
75. Dallas Cowboys: Janarius Robinson, EDGE, Florida State
Aldon Smith seems to be in the rearview mirror, so Dallas takes Janarius Robinson from Florida State as a player to groom on the edge.
76. New York Giants: Baron Browning, LB, Ohio State
New York has been getting it done this offseason and they hit another home run with the selection of Barion Browning.
77. Los Angeles Chargers: Tommy Tremble, TE, Notre Dame
He won’t replace Hunter Henry outright, but they need someone else in L.A.
78. Minnesota Vikings: Jackson Carman, OT, Clemson
Whether it’s at tackle or guard, Jackson Carman will probably be in the NFL for a long time and should be able to help the Vikings, who struggled in this area a season ago.
79. Las Vegas Raiders (via Arizona Cardinals): Payton Turner, EDGE, Houston
Payton Turner is a high-energy kid who can possibly develop and continue to overhaul this Raiders defense that has consistently under-performed.
80. Las Vegas Raiders: Tommy Togiai, IDL, Ohio State
Maliek Collins didn’t pan out, so the Raiders go for Tommy Togiai with this selection.
