2021 NFL mock draft: 21st pick

After securing Carson Wentz in a trade, the Indianapolis Colts have to turn to the other position that is most vital to success offensively — left tackle.

Jalen Mayfield has played right tackle for the Michigan Wolverines, but there is no doubt he has the athletic ability and natural talent to transition to the left side as a pro.

The Colts will need him to.

What Mayfield lacks in experience he more than makes up for with splashy tape. He hasn’t been flawless, by any means, but you watch his progression in just a short sample from the 2020 season and you can see the kind of strides he’s capable of taking.

After their division rivals selected an offensive tackle from Michigan, the Tennessee Titans take a player with the very next pick who they hope will give him fits in their annual battles.

Kwity Paye’s quickness off the edge and positional versatility make him an ideal fit for the Mike Vrabel defense, as we know from his time as a professional player and coach how meaningful “availability” is to him.

Paye has big-time pass rush potential at the next level. He may not have put up huge numbers as a Wolverine but Paye sets the edge well and can get after the quarterback.
