2021 NFL Mock Draft: Falcons replace Matt Ryan

The Denver Broncos saw their game against the New England Patriots moved to next weekend due to COVID issues within the Patriots organization. Originally slated to play Miami in Week 6, they will now take on a Patriots team that should have Cam Newton back, which is something they should be concerned with.

Looking at their roster, the Broncos need more help in the secondary, and drafting Patrick Surtain II with the No. 10 overall pick gives them an NFL-ready player. The son of a former NFL player, Surtain is the best cornerback in this draft class, and I do not see him falling out of the top-10 picks.

The Philadelphia Eagles were trounced by the Pittsburgh Steelers this weekend, as their terrible 2020 campaign continues to go in the wrong direction. Luckily for them, the entire NFC East is trash, so they are still very much alive in terms of earning a playoff spot this season.

The defense in Philly needs an upgrade, and one way to do that is to bring in one of the best linebackers in this draft class. Dylan Moses is a guy who can play all over the field, is an elite tackle, and on this Eagles defense, he would be an upgrade over an linebacker they are currently trotting out there.

The Cincinnati Bengals could go a number of different ways with this pick, as they will definitely do everything they can to protect Joe Burrow next offseason. However, the Bengals also need to bring in some weapons for their franchise quarterback, and at No. 12, with Samuel Cosmi and Penei Sewell off the board, I like them to go wide receiver here.

This draft class has some elite options at wideout, and one of them is Alabama star DeVonta Smith. This is a kid who is going to be downright special at the next level, and teaming him with Tee Higgins gives Burrow two young, and explosive weapons in the passing game.
