2021 NFL mock draft: Cowboys fix their defense in first round with Micah Parsons

The Philadelphia Eagles had a chance to pull away in the NFC East this past weekend, as they took on the New York Giants on the road. However, the Giants came to play, and when all was said and done, drew within a half-game of their division rival, and is actually playing a better brand of football right now.

The Eagles have a ton of issues, including at quarterback, where people are starting to clamor for the team to make a switch to Jalen Hurts. No matter who is under center in 2021, this team needs more weapons at wideout, and they get one with Minnesota’s Rashod Bateman, a playmaker who can stretch the field.

In the most dramatic end to a game on the Week 10 slate, the Arizona Cardinals beat the Buffalo Bills thanks to a Hail Mary pass from Kyler Murray to DeAndre Hopkins. The Cardinals have a chance to really make a statement this Thursday, as they take on division rival Seattle, and they suddenly look like the best team in the NFC West.

On defense, the Cardinals should use a first round pick to continue to bolster their secondary, and they get quality talent in Jaycee Horn. The Cardinals are young and exciting on both sides of the ball, and they should be a team to beat in the NFC for years to come.

Thanks to the trade they made of Jamal Adams, a trade that looks better every week, the New York Jets will hold two first round picks in the 2021 NFL Draft. While their pick will be first overall, where they select Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence, their pick later in round one could net them his collegiate teammate.

Running back Travis Etienne is likely the only running back ticketed for the first round, and adding him to an offense that already has Lawrence would be a perfect scenario. The Jets may make wholesale changes with the coaching staff, but Lawrence and Etienne would be a nice combo to start the rebuild.
