2021 NFL Mock Draft: Jacksonville Jaguars Tank for Trevor is officially on

The Chicago Bears are going to be an interesting team to keep an eye on this season, as they once again gave the starting quarterback job to Mitchell Trubisky. Nick Foles is on the roster, and will step in if Trubisky falters, and based on their draft slot in this mock, that move will likely be made in 2020.

Chicago has a pretty solid defense, led by former Defensive Player of the Year Khalil Mack. However, they could stand to get better up front on the interior of their defensive line, and getting a player like Marvin Wilson from Florida State in the first round next April fills a major gap at nose tackle.

The Jacksonville Jaguars hold the No. 17 overall pick in this mock draft thanks to the Jalen Ramsey trade, where they sent their star cornerback to the Los Angeles Rams during the 2019 NFL season for multiple first round picks. With this pick, they do their best to replace Ramsey, adding Shaun Wade from Ohio State.

Wade is widely considered one of the better cornerbacks in this draft class, and Ohio State has a rich history of producing some elite corners in the NFL. Jacksonville is making wholesale changes on their roster, but adding both Trevor Lawrence at pick No. 1, and Wade at No. 17 help bolster both sides of the ball in round one.

The Minnesota Vikings should be downright nasty on the defensive side of the ball this season, especially after adding Yannick Ngakoue in recent weeks. On the offensive side of the ball, the Vikings have solid young players at key position, especially on the offensive line, but Creed Humphrey is a guy who would be a nice fit.

Humphrey did everything asked of him during his time at Oklahoma, playing both guard and center, and the Vikings need that kind of versatility. They brought in Ezra Cleveland during the 2020 NFL Draft, and Garrett Bradbury in the first round in 2019, but Humphrey can play multiple positions, and the Vikings have struggled to protect in recent years.
