2021 NFL Draft: Five QBs fly off of the board in first-round mock draft
26. . Edge. Baltimore Ravens. Azeez Ojulari. 27. player
The Baltimore Ravens have been known for their defense and they hit gold last year adding Patrick Queen at the middle linebacker position. This year the Ravens add an edge rusher to their aging core.
Their two starting edge rushers are over the age of 30 in Calais Campbell and Derek Wolfe. Adding a player like Ojulari will give them another player that can get to the quarterback and can learn from the veterans they already have.
Zaven Collins . 28. player. 15. . LB. New Orleans Saints
The Saints have to wonder if Drew Brees will come back another season or if they will give the offense to Jameis Winston or Taysom Hill in 2021. Either way, I do not see the Saints drafting a quarterback in the 2021 NFL Draft.
They have built up their offensive line the last few years and I like them adding another piece to the defensive side of the ball. Zaven Collins is a linebacker that has the ability to rush the passer, drop back into coverage, play downhill, and in space. He also can play safety as he played both in college.
49. . WR. Green Bay Packers. Rondale Moore. 29. player
The Green Bay Packers finally draft a wide receiver in the first round and give Aaron Rodgers another weapon at his disposal. Rondale Moore is an electric playmaker but has durability issues. This could affect his draft status in the 2021 NFL Draft but also I believe he can be a difference-maker at the receiver position.
He also can be an added threat on special teams, used in rushing plays out the backfield or quick-strike plays with how fast and athletic he is, a great fit for Rodgers.
Tyson Campbell. 30. player. 16. . CB. Buffalo Bills
The Buffalo Bills have made some solid additions the last couple of seasons under Brandon Bean as the general manager. The additions on offense trading for Stefon Diggs and the free-agent signing of Cole Beasley has been beneficial for Josh Allen.
Now it’s time to add a piece to their defense alongside Tre White so they can have two lockdown corners. Tyson Campbell is good in man-to-man coverage and has the body type and frame to be a starting corner in the NFL.
31. player. 48. . Edge. Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Joseph Ossai
The Buccaneers defense has been showing up more in the playoffs with their ability to get after the quarterback. So we add another weapon on the edge for a team looking to get younger at the position.
They have veterans like Ndamukong Suh, Jason Pierre-Paul, and William Gholston but we do not know how much longer they will play at a high level. Ossai can come in and learn for those guys in year one before taking on a bigger role the following season.
32. player. 124. . OT. Kansas City Chiefs. Jalen Mayfield
The Kansas City Chiefs have a solid team all around and adding another piece to the offensive line makes the most sense. Jalen Mayfield may be one of the most versatile linemen in the 2021 class.
Mayfield has predominantly played tackle but can also play guard. He has the ability to either play on the left or right side of the offensive line to fill whichever hole is asked of him due to his athleticism and size.
