NFL mock draft 2021: 49ers snag Mac Jones; Broncos trade up for QB
2021 NFL mock draft: Round 1, 17th overall
Pick Analysis. player. 28. Scouting Report. OT. Oklahoma State. Teven Jenkins. 17
For some reason, the Las Vegas Raiders ripped apart their offensive line this offseason, leaving the unit in disarray heading into the 2021 NFL Draft. On top of their obvious needs on the defensive side of the ball, the Raiders will now likely have to make multiple offensive line selections in the draft.
While this team-building plan is baffling, there is still a lot to like about Teven Jenkins as a target for the Raiders. Jon Gruden and company clearly value toughness and physicality on both sides of the ball, making Jenkins an ideal target for the team.
Jenkins is an absolute road grader at the right tackle position, consistently dominating at the point of attack. He has strong hands and consistently plays the game with a physical style of play. It is easy to see why the Raiders would like Jenkins and he would fill a major hole for the team at right tackle.
2021 NFL mock draft: Round 1, 18th overall
Penn State. player. 59. Scouting Report. LB. 18. Pick Analysis. Micah Parsons
Micah Parsons is a freak athlete at the linebacker position who undoubtedly has massive upside at the next level. He is a big and physical defender who reads the field well and shows tremendous instincts as a run defender. He is also an extremely fast and explosive player who roams around the field and makes plays on a consistent basis.
He lacks ideal instincts in pass coverage but Parsons is a top-notch run defender and is also an impressive weapon in the blitz game. He is a linebacker/edge rusher hybrid prospect who would be an ideal fit for Miami on the defensive side of the ball.
