2021 NFL Mock Draft: Cowboys fix defense, Justin Fields slides to Broncos
By Randy Gurzi
65. Jacksonville Jaguars: Nico Collins, WR, Michigan
The Jaguars continue to add solid talent at a good value. Nico Collins look the part of a legit NFL receiver and could work nicely in a committee with the Jags.
66. New York Jets: Brevin Jordan, TE, Miami
New York adds a talented tight end in Brevin Jordan from Miami. He could end up being a great fit in that offense while giving Zach Wilson a security blanket in the middle of the field.
67. Houston Texans: Daviyon Nixon, IDL, Iowa
The Houston Texans are a mess. We give them a good defensive tackle here but they need so much more to fix what’s broken here.
68. Atlanta Falcons: Chazz Surratt, LB, North Carolina
Atlanta adds a versatile linebacker in Chazz Surratt. A former quarterback, he’s still learning to play linebacker and should get better in time.
69. Cincinnati Bengals: Josh Myers, IOL, Ohio State
Another offensive lineman is added for the Bengals as they take Josh Myers from Ohio State. His talent makes him a steal here and he could become another starter for them quickly.
70. Philadelphia Eagles: Tylan Wallace, WR, Oklahoma State
The Eagles need wide receivers and while Tylan Wallace isn’t exactly a No. 1 wideout, he does a lot of things well. He will be a solid contributor for this offense.
71. Denver Broncos: Paulson Adebo, CB, Stanford
Paulson Adebo was a player to watch in 2020 but opted out of the season. That left a lot of questions about him unanswered but he still has the potential to be a difference-maker.
72. Detroit Lions: James Hudson, OT, Cincinnati
James Hudson showed during his time at Cincinnati that he can get the job done. Here, he lands with the Lions and could prove to be a great value pick for them.
73. Carolina Panthers: Tommy Tremble, TE, Notre Dame
Notre Dame tight ends are never a bad idea. Tommy Tremble also never really got to show everything he’s capable of and could be a sleeper to watch.
74. Washington Football Team (via San Francisco 49ers): Jamar Johnson, S, Indiana
Another secondary member for the Football Team as they grab safety Jamar Johnson here from Indiana.
75. Dallas Cowboys: Milton Williams, DT, Louisiana Tech
Milton Williams is a player on the rise and the Dallas Cowboys need a defensive tackle. The two sides connect here as he can help their porous line improve going forward.
76. New York Giants: Olaijah Griffin, CB, USC
New York had a decent defense in 2020 but they can use more depth in the secondary. Enter Olaijah Griffin from USC who can help now and has some upside to work with.
77. Los Angeles Chargers: Benjamin St-Juste, CB, Minnesota
The Chargers moved on from Desmond King last season and now, they add a new cornerback in Benjamin St-Juste as they re-stock the secondary.
78. Minnesota Vikings: Tutu Atwell, WR, Louisville
There are rumors that Adam Thielen could be a trade piece. Eventually, that could come to fruition, so the Vikings grab Tutu Atwell, who can turn into a solid No. 2 across from Justin Jefferson.
79. Arizona Cardinals: Richie Grant, S, UCF
Richie Grant is a fats-climbing safety who lands with Arizona here. Their secondary continues to get better.
80. Las Vegas Raiders: Tommy Togiai, IDL, Ohio State
Maurice Hurst was a surprise release but the Raiders at least get someone who can help replace him in Tommy Togiai from Ohio State.
