2021 NFL Mock Draft: Minnesota Vikings take Justin Fields

The Las Vegas Raiders had a rough go of it on the road on Sunday, as they traveled East to take on the New England Patriots. Though the defense played well early, forcing multiple three-and-outs during the first quarter, it did not last, and the Patriots ran all over them in a 36-20 loss in New England.

Safety Johnathan Abram struggled throughout, and while he should be fine, he needs a legitimate starter alongside him. Erik Harris is a nice depth guy, but Jevon Holland is the best safety in this draft class, and he would slide right in as an immediate starter in Las Vegas.

The Indianapolis Colts have actually looked good with Philip Rivers under center, and you have to think they are going to challenge in a wide open AFC South. With the Houston Texans struggling out of the gate, and the Jacksonville Jaguars a year away from contending, it should come down to the Colts and the Tennessee Titans.

While it remains to be seen how long Rivers will be the quarterback, the team should bring in some more weapons for whoever is under center in 2021. Jaylen Waddle has top-10 talent as a wide receiver in this draft class, and would be a nice compliment to T.Y. Hilton on the outside.

The San Francisco 49ers got the victory in Week 3, as they luckily took on one of the worst teams in football in the New York Giants. It has been a season where the 49ers have been decimated by injuries, and you have to wonder if they still have a legitimate shot at repeating as the NFC champions in 2020.

Looking at their roster, San Francisco needs some help in the defensive backfield, especially at the safety position. Hamsah Nasirildeen is a guy who could step in and start right away in this secondary, as they look to get a bit younger back there. Nasirildeen tore his ACL last November, that shouldn’t have an effect on his draft status.
