2021 NFL Draft: Three-round 2021 NFL mock draft with top 10 surprises
2021 NFL Draft: Round 2, 54th Overall
36. Scouting Report. IOL. Alijah Vera-Tucker. 54. player. Pick Analysis. USC
The Seattle Seahawks enter the fun with their first pick of this mock draft. The offensive line continues to be a major area of need for this team and they address the spot with the addition of Alijah Vera-Tucker.
Vera-Tucker is a strong offensive guard prospect who shows solid overall athleticism and impressive power at the point of attack. Vera-Tucker is quick off of the ball and is a great blocker at the second level. He is also a high-level pass protector who can help keep the middle of the pocket clean. Make no mistake about it, the Seahawks would be making Russell Wilson’s life a bit easier with this selection.
2021 NFL Draft: Round 2, 55th Overall
Pick Analysis. EDGE. Miami (FL). 55. player. Scouting Report. Quincy Roche. 32
Quincy Roche has not been as great as we hoped in Miami this season, but he is still a tough and athletic edge rusher who has exciting upside at the next level. The Arizona Cardinals would love to be able to snag a guy with his kind of raw talent at an important position of need in this range.
2021 NFL Draft: Round 2, 56th Overall
OT. North Dakota State. Dillon Radunz. 56. player. 46. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis
Colts left tackle Anthony Castonzo flirted with retirement last offseason before signing a two-year deal with the team. While I would expect Castonzo to play out that deal, it is far from a guarantee that he does so. With this in mind, the Colts should be looking for a long-term answer at the left tackle position in the 2021 NFL Draft.
Dillon Radunz stands out as a great fit here for the Colts. He is a solid athlete who moves well in space and shows good anchor ability in pass protection. Radunz may not be ready to come in and be a franchise left tackle right away, but he certainly has plenty of upside at the position for the long-term.
