NFL mock draft 2021: Panthers, Patriots, Bears get aggressive for QBs
2021 NFL mock draft: Round 1, 27th overall
Gregory Rousseau. 27. player. Pick Analysis. EDGE. Miami (FL). 26. Scouting Report
It seems to happen every single year. The Baltimore Ravens sit back, stick to their board and find value at a position of need. In this 2021 NFL mock draft, Baltimore does it again with the selection of Gregory Rousseau.
It would have been great to see Rousseau on the field this past season, but he showed enough in 2019 to warrant a first-round selection. Rousseau is a quick and explosive edge rusher who wins with a nice combination of speed and power on the edge. He can create pressure on the outside, has good instincts as a run defender and displays exciting upside as an interior rusher as well. The Ravens are going to need help on the EDGE and Rousseau stands out as a nice value pick at the position in this range.
2021 NFL mock draft: Round 1, 28th overall
player. 15. Pick Analysis. LB/S. Notre Dame. Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah. Scouting Report. 28
The New Orleans Saints are going to have to work some magic to get under the salary cap this offseason and that will likely lead to very few veteran additions to the roster. With this in mind, they must use the 2021 NFL Draft to build their depth and fill needs at key positions. Off-ball linebacker stands out as a major position of need for this team and while Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah is not a traditional linebacker prospect, he could help this team in a variety of ways.
Owusu-Koramoah is a linebacker/safety hybrid prospect who shows tremendous natural athleticism and impressive coverage skills. He is an exciting defensive playmaker who always seems to find his way around the ball. His position versatility can be a weapon at the next level and he would likely thrive in the Saints’ aggressive defensive attack.
