2021 NFL Mock Draft: New York Jets get latest franchise QB
By Brad Weiss
The Chicago Bears have a defense that can win a franchise a championship, but on the other side of the ball, they are a complete mess. The drafting of Mitchell Trubisky over Deshaun Watson and Patrick Mahomes has proven to be a nightmare, and the Bears need to try and find their guy moving forward.
Zach Wilson is a quarterback who is being mocked all the way in the top-10, so to get him at No. 13 would be an absolute steal. The Bears have no answer at the position right now, and in drafting Wilson, they could get a player who could start right away in the Windy City.
The Minnesota Vikings pulled off a stunning victory over the Carolina Panthers this past weekend as they look to keep their playoff hopes alive. If the team does decide to stick with Kirk Cousins as the future at quarterback, they have to do something to improve the talent in front of him along the offensive line.
Wyatt Davis is considered the best pure interior lineman in this draft class, and his versatility could go a long way on a Vikings offensive line that needs a lot of help. The Vikings have the talent to be a Super Bowl contender, so next season is a huge offseason for the franchise.
The New England Patriots are doing their best to stay alive in the AFC playoff race, and they did so by beating the Arizona Cardinals as an underdog this past weekend. Head coach Bill Belichick is going to do everything he can to prove he can win without Tom Brady, and while the team has issues at quarterback, they get their next Rob Gronkowski here.
Kyle Pitts is the premier tight end in this draft class, and will definitely be the first name called at his position group. He has the skill set to be a 1,000-yard tight end at the NFL level, and Belichick’s offenses run best when they have a talent like him at the position.
