2021 NFL Mock Draft: New York Giants replace Danny Dimes with the No. 1 pick

The Las Vegas Raiders got out to a surprising 2-0 start to the 2020 NFL season, but since then, they have fallen on hard times due to inconsistent play and injuries. One area that has been glaring has been in the secondary, where Damon Arnette was placed on IR, and Erik Harris is proving he is more of a depth player, and not a starter.

In April, the Raiders should use a first round pick on the safety position, teaming a player like Jevon Holland with Johnathan Abram, who is a budding superstar. Holland is the best player at his position group in this draft class, and that tandem would terrorize opponents for years to come.

The New England Patriots suffered a huge loss in terms of their roster heading into a crucial matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs, as quarterback Cam Newton was diagnosed with COVID-19. That meant the team had to roll with Brian Hoyer at quarterback against the Chiefs, and he was eventually replaced by Jarrett Stidham.

While New England hung tough, they did lose, though with Cam, it would have been another story. No matter who is quarterback next season, this team needs more weapons on the outside, so Jaylen Waddle from Alabama would be a solid get for a franchise that has not lost much since Tom Brady left.

The San Francisco 49ers have had to deal with a ton of injuries this season, and it is really hurting their chances of getting back to the Super Bowl. Still, they have some solid talent on both sides of the ball, even with all the injuries, so they should be able to tread water until they get some of their stars back.

Next April, the franchise would be wise to use their first round pick on the interior of their offensive line, and Wyatt Davis will be an impact player from Day 1. John Lynch has prioritized his lines since becoming general manager, and Davis fills one of the few voids they have on the offensive side of the ball.
