2021 NFL Draft: Panthers trade up, QBs go early in 2021 NFL mock draft
player. 46. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Edge. Georgia. Azeez Ojulari. 21
The Indianapolis Colts come into the 2021 NFL Draft with one of the better rosters in the NFL. The key for this team will be how they handle the quarterback position. It’s possible they end up with Wentz, or they let Jacob Eason compete with another late-round quarterback selection. At this point in the first round, the value isn’t there at quarterback.
Another position the Colts could address is the edge. Finding a player who can get after the quarterback is important, as Kemoko Turay and Ben Banogu haven’t gotten the job done. Azeez Ojulari has a wicked first step, good bend around the edge, and good hand usage to collapse the pocket.
Pick Analysis. Defensive Tackle. Daviyon Nixon. 22. Scouting Report. 35. player. Iowa
The Tennessee Titans have built an impressive offense with a dynamic trio of Ryan Tannehill, Derrick Henry, and AJ Brown. On defense, Mike Vrabel’s unit has struggled of late, most recently in the meltdown in the wild card round against Lamar Jackson.
They’ll look to the defensive line early in the 2021 NFL Draft. Versatility will be important up front for Vrabel, so they select Iowa defensive lineman Daviyon Nixon. Nixon had 13.5 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks for the Hawkeyes in 2020 and has risen up draft boards. He’d be great next to Jeffery Simmons and Harold Landry.
