2021 NFL Mock Draft: BYU quarterback Zach Wilson enters the top 5
By Brad Weiss
87. . Cornerback. Carolina Panthers. Caleb Farley. 10. player
The Carolina Panthers had to go into their matchup this past weekend without Teddy Bridgewater, or Christian McCaffrey, leaving them depleted on offense. However, they were also playing a Detroit Lions team that is downright awful, and they ended up shutting out Matthew Stafford and company at home.
Looking ahead, the Panthers have serious issues on both sides of the ball, including at cornerback, where they are looking to replace James Bradberry, who departed for New York this offseason. Caleb Farley is the second-best cornerback in this draft class and would be an instant starter in Carolina.
50. . Defensive Tackle. Detroit Lions. Marvin Wilson. 11. player
The Detroit Lions are downright awful this season, and it will be a miracle if head coach Matt Patricia returns for another go-around in 2021. They are terrible on offense, their defense can’t get stops, and they are another organization that could see wholesale changes this offseason.
On defense, they need some help in the interior of the defensive line, and they get the best defensive tackle in this draft class here at No. 11. In my opinion, Marvin Wilson is going to be an absolute mauler at the next level, and he can help change the perception of this Lions defense immediately.
Wyatt Davis. 12. player. 60. . Offensive Lineman. Minnesota Vikings
The Minnesota Vikings looked to be cruising to a potential playoff berth, as they traveled to Dallas to take on the hapless Cowboys. What should have been an easy win turned out to be a devastating loss, and the time is ticking for them to actually make a serious run towards a playoff berth.
On offense, the line has got to be revamped next season, and in Ohio State’s Wyatt Davis, they get the best interior offensive lineman in this draft class. This kid is versatile, powerful, and has an incredible motor, and would be a stud along this Vikings offensive line for years to come.
