2021 NFL Mock Draft: Atlanta Falcons replace Matt Ryan

The New York Giants have actually been a pleasant surprise since getting out to a terrible start, and are currently in the race for the NFC East. While that is a prize that will be handed out to a likely under .500 team, it is still a playoff spot, and the team would like nothing more than to get there in Joe Judge’s first season as head coach.

On defense, the Giants have been outstanding this season and could get better if they can get an elite edge rusher like Gregory Rousseau here at No. 10. This is a kid who is going to be a double-digit sack guy at the next level, and it looks like this Giants defense is a piece or two away from being very special.

The Detroit Lions could go several different ways next year in the 2021 NFL Draft, as it remains to be seen whether or not they will stick with Matthew Stafford at quarterback. I believe they should stay with their franchise guy, and instead of getting a quarterback in the first round, get Stafford a weapon.

That weapon could be DeVonta Smith, a dynamic playmaker from Alabama who is going to be a special player at the next level. He can catch, has great speed, and runs terrific routes, and with Stafford throwing him the ball, he will make an instant impact as a rookie.

The San Francisco 49ers were absolutely smacked in the mouth by the Washington Football Team this past weekend, and it is clear they are not the same team that made it to the Super Bowl last year. Injuries have ravaged this roster, and they are likely headed towards the first half of the 2021 NFL Draft.

With that pick, they have to get better along the interior of their offensive line, and they get the best interior lineman here in Wyatt Davis. A versatile mauler who can play up and down the line, Davis would improve one of the bigger weaknesses on this 49ers roster immediately.
