2021 NFL Mock Draft: Patriots get Trevor Lawrence in all-trades, chaos edition
(Pick via Rams) – The Jalen Ramsey trade is still tough to swallow on some level as the Rams have arguably the best cornerback in the NFL and the Jaguars are in a state of rebuilding. But in a strong class where they have an extra first-round pick, Jacksonville aims to make the most of that by getting perhaps the most versatile defensive playmaker in the 2021 NFL Draft, Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah.
Listed as a linebacker by most, the Notre Dame star is more than capable of filling any role that the Jaguars need in the back seven. He can come up and play well in the box but his hyper-athletic and capable of taking on tight ends and wide receivers in the slot. Owusu-Koramoah is a chess piece that the new Jaguars coaching staff would be thrilled to insert in a variety of roles that opens doors all around that side of the ball.
Trade: Bills send No. 30 and 174 to Browns for No. 26 overall – After narrowly missing out on the Super Bowl last season, the Buffalo Bills are obviously on the rise and are trying to capitalize on their progress with Josh Allen at quarterback. That’s what they do here as they make a strong offer to the Browns to jump ahead of the Ravens and address a defensive end group that is still good but aging.
Kwity Paye just seems like a perfect fit for the Bills and what they like. He’s a great athlete but one that must be used with his hand in the dirt and with the ability to showcase his explosiveness and hand work. His blend of burst and size make him a threat, especially as he continues to develop technically. This would be a home-run pick for Buffalo to keep their defense humming as their offense only gets more dangerous.
