2021 NFL Mock Draft: New York Giants replace Danny Dimes with the No. 1 pick
By Brad Weiss
The Denver Broncos have been struck by the injury bug this season, but they were able to come away with the victory this past Thursday night against the New York Jets. Of course, the Jets are nothing to write home about, but the team did get a nice effort from Brett Rypien, who shredded the Jets secondary.
Looking at the Broncos own secondary, they need help at cornerback, and Caleb Farley would be a nice get for them at No. 10 overall. This kid can flat out cover, and when the Broncos were at their peak, they had some of the best cornerbacks in the league. Farley can help them take a step into getting back there.
The Jacksonville Jaguars should not make a move for one of the top quarterbacks in this draft, as Gardner Minshew has proven he can win at the NFL level. Instead, they should look to add talent to the defensive side of the ball, and they get a monster of a defensive tackle at No. 11 in Marvin Wilson.
Playing in-state at Florida State, Wilson is the kind of player who can change the entire look of your defensive line. He is disruptive against the pass, is great against the run, and in an AFC South that does not fail to score points, getting better on defense has to be a priority for Jacksonville.
The Minnesota Vikings went into Houston and picked up a much-needed win on Sunday, as they were able to outlast Deshaun Watson and company. Still, this has been a pretty head-scratching season for Minnesota, who many believed would challenge in a very competitive NFC North division.
Looking at the roster, it may be time to move on from Kirk Cousins, and Trey Lance is definitely a first round talent. In Lance, the Vikings would be getting a player who can make plays with his arm, and his legs, and they are already loaded with weapons on that side of the ball with Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen, and Dalvin Cook.
