2021 NFL mock draft: Round 1, 21st overall
EDGE. Georgia. 46. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Azeez Ojulari. 21. player
A long and athletic edge rusher with exciting upside at the next level, Azeez Ojulari could be a massive steal in this range. The Indianapolis Colts put a premium on athletic upside at the edge rusher position and Ojulari clearly fits the bill. Chris Ballard and company could look to go in many different directions with this pick but Ojulari stands out as a premier potential selection for the team.

CB. 22. Caleb Farley. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Virginia Tech. 35
Once considered a near-lock to go in the top 10 of the 2021 NFL Draft, uncertainty surrounding his back injuries has caused Caleb Farley to slip down the board. At this point, he is an extremely difficult prospect to place a value on but his tremendous athletic upside at a premium position should keep him in the first round.
Farley is a big, long and athletic cornerback prospect who shines in man coverage. He has true lock-down cornerback upside at the next level and could become a massive steal in this range. The Tennessee Titans have an obvious need at the cornerback position and could look to swing for the fences by adding Farley at No. 22.

Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Miami. Jaelan Phillips. 23. player. 30. EDGE
Jaelan Phillips is another prospect who is extremely difficult to determine where he will land. Phillips is one of the most physically gifted defenders in the entire draft class and is coming off of a fantastic season at Miami. That being said, he has a dangerous history of concussions and only really shined for one year in college despite being an extremely highly-ranked recruit.
If Phillips clears medically, he is undoubtedly worthy of being taken in this range. The New York Jets have an obvious need at the edge rusher position and could easily be ready to take on the risk at No. 23.
