2021 NFL Mock Draft: New York Giants replace Danny Dimes with the No. 1 pick
By Brad Weiss
The Los Angeles Chargers have found their franchise quarterback in Justin Herbert, who has come in and shown he can certainly make things happen at the NFL level. Now, they have to figure out how they are going to build around him on both sides of the ball, and they have a big decision coming up on defense next offseason.
Both Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram will be free agents after this season, and it remains to be seen whether or not they will pay both of them. If not, Gregory Rousseau is the top edge rusher in this draft class, and imagining a tandem of him and Bosa would be a nightmare for the rest of the AFC West.
The Miami Dolphins will pick twice in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft, and as of now, both of those picks will come in the top-10. The Dolphins hold the Houston Texans’ first round pick next April, and based on what we have seen from that team this year, that is going to be a premium selection in 2021.
Miami should use these two picks to fix both sides of the ball, and they certainly need some help at middle linebacker. A healthy Dylan Moses is a player who will come into this draft as one of the more NFL-ready defensive players out there, and Miami is a few players away from finally being a playoff contender.
The Detroit Lions got out to a fast start against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, only to see their early lead go away quickly, and eventually lose the game. They were coming off a nice road win against Arizona, but despite their offense putting up nearly 30 points, they lost to Drew Brees and company.
Detroit has some talented guys on both sides of the ball, but they could use some help along the offensive line. Samuel Cosmi is the best offensive tackle in this draft class, and if they plan on keeping Matthew Stafford around, they need better players in front of him keeping him off of his back.
