Rashod Bateman. player. 49. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 23. WR. Minnesota
Green Bay Packers’ projected win total: 8.7
Rashod Bateman 2019 stats: 60 receptions for 1,219 yards and 11 touchdowns.
Wide receiver stands out as the most likely position of need for the Green Bay Packers in the 2021 NFL Draft. They need to find more targets for Aaron Rodgers eventually and Rashod Bateman stands out as a perfect fit in this mock draft.
Bateman is a quick and athletic receiver who shows explosive speed on the outside. He releases at the line of scrimmage extremely well and shows the speed needed to burn cornerbacks on the deep ball. He also has nice size at the wide receiver position, using his long arms to snatch the ball out of the air with ease. Bateman tracks the ball in the air extremely well and shows great concentration in contested-catch situations.
Simply put, Bateman is a tremendously gifted wide receiver prospect who has massive upside at the next level. Pairing him with Davante Adams on the outside would give the Packers an exciting duo to build their passing game around. Make no mistake about it, the Packers find themselves an extremely talented pass catcher in this mock draft.
Pick Analysis. Syracuse. Andre Cisco. 123. Scouting Report. S. 24. player
Dallas Cowboys’ projected win total: 8.7
Andre Cisco 2019 stats: 65 total tackles, 5 interceptions (1 returned for a touchdown), 5 passes defended and 1 forced fumble.
The Dallas Cowboys had an incredible showing in the 2020 NFL Draft. They did a great job of finding incredible value throughout the draft and filled many important positions of need with talented players. In this 2021 mock draft, they are able to find another gifted player at an important position of need for the team.
Andre Cisco is a fantastic coverage safety who shows tremendous natural ball skill on the back-end. He is a quick and rangy as a deep safety and has a knack for getting his hands on the ball. Cisco does not offer much help in run support, but he has plenty of upside as both a deep zone defender and man-to-man defender in the slot. He stands out as an ideal replacement for HaHa Clinton-Dix at the safety position.
