2021 NFL Mock Draft: New York Jets and Giants go No. 1 and 2
By Brad Weiss
13. . Offensive Lineman. Los Angeles Chargers. Wyatt Davis. 10. player
The Los Angeles Chargers finally got a win with Justin Herbert as their quarterback, as they beat the Jacksonville Jaguars this past weekend. Since taking over as the starter, Herbert has been nothing short of fantastic, and the Chargers have seemingly found their next franchise quarterback.
Now comes the task of keeping him upright, and they do so by drafting Ohio State’s Wyatt Davis with the No. 10 overall pick. Like Alex Leatherwood, this an absolute mauler, who is also quite versatile, and would be a building block along this Chargers offensive line.
47. . Defensive Tackle. New England Patriots. Marvin Wilson. 11. player
The New England Patriots have just looked off in recent weeks, as they have had to battle through issues with COVID-19, and some bad play from Cam Newton. In fact, Newton was benched this past weekend in favor of Jarrett Stidham, and will now have to prove that he is the right guy for the job moving forward.
On defense, the Patriots also need to get some things corrected, and in the first round next April, they should add to their defensive line. Marvin Wilson is the best defensive tackle in this draft class, and he would find a soft landing spot learning from a defensive genius in Bill Belichick.
45. . Cornerback. Denver Broncos. Patrick Surtain II. 12. player
The Denver Broncos were flying high coming off a win on the road against the New England Patriots in Week 7, but they fell hard to the ground this past weekend. Playing host to division rival New England, the Broncos were absolutely gashed on defense, allowing 43 points in a blowout loss.
Denver needs to get better on that side of the ball, and with pick No. 12 next April, Patrick Surtain II could be the first cornerback off the board. Surtain is one of the more NFL-ready prospects in this draft class, and would be a perfect fit in a Broncos secondary that needs a lot of help.
