2021 NFL Draft: Three-round mock draft featuring early quarterback run
2021 NFL Draft Round 2, Pick 16
Liam Eichenberg. 48. player. 51. Pick Analysis. Notre Dame. Scouting Report. OT
The Los Angeles Rams enter the fun here and make an interesting addition to their offensive line mix. Andrew Whitworth currently holds down the left tackle spot and is still playing at a high level. However, at 38-years-old, the Rams cannot count on Whitworth as a long-term option at the position. Enter Liam Eichenberg.
The power in Eichenberg’s game immediately stands out on tape. He consistently moves the defender on contact and does a great job of sinking in and anchoring in pass protection when the situation calls for it. Eichenberg lacks ideal athleticism and quickness at the position, but he does move well enough to hold his own a majority of the time. His overall upside may be limited, but Eichenberg is a solid offensive tackle prospect who would bring stability to their offensive line.
2021 NFL Draft Round 2, Pick 17
Scouting Report. USC. 49. Amon-Ra St. Brown. 49. player. Pick Analysis. WR
It was baffling when the Green Bay Packers did not add any weapons for Aaron Rodgers in the most recent NFL Draft and they should be looking to fix that mistake next April. Amon-Ra St. Brown is primarily a weapon out of the slot, but he is a dynamic playmaker in his role.
St. Brown is quick and explosive out of his cuts, leading to consistent separation against man coverage. He is also a tough player who is not afraid to go over the middle of the field and can legitimately challenge the defense at all three levels of the field. St. Brown is also an impressive playmaker with the ball in his hands. Simply put, he is a gifted athlete who could come in and immediately be an important weapon for Rodgers in the passing game.
2021 NFL Draft Round 2, Pick 18
WR. Auburn. Seth Williams. 50. player. Pick Analysis. Scouting Report. 54
The addition of Jalen Reagor should help, but the Philadelphia Eagles struggled to find consistent playmakers at wide receiver last season and it severely limited their upside as a team. They continue to fix this issue in the second round of this mock draft with the selection of Seth Williams out of Auburn.
Williams is a big and physical target who also shows plenty of speed on the outside. He showcases a fantastic pair of hands and does a particularly nice job in contested-catch situations, winning many 50/50 balls.
