2021 NFL Mock Draft: Atlanta Falcons replace Matt Ryan

The Denver Broncos got the best effort we have seen from Drew Lock in a while this past weekend, as he was nearly perfect against the Carolina Panthers at home. However, the jury is still out on Lock, as he looks so good one week, and the next week he looks like he should be holding a clipboard.

If the Broncos do decide to keep Lock as their franchise quarterback then they should use this No. 13 overall pick on the secondary. Caleb Farley is a guy who could start for the Broncos right away, and if they are going to get back to being a problem in the AFC West, they need improvements on all three levels on the defensive side of the ball.

The Minnesota Vikings were beaten by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 14, and any hope of them making the playoffs is dwindling with each passing week. The truth is, changes are coming within this organization, and that could include both the head coach and the quarterback.

If they decide to stick with Kirk Cousins under center, they have to get better upfront, and they do so here by drafting Rashawn Slater from Northwester. This is a guy who could be a plug and play left tackle at the next level, and the Vikings certainly need an upgrade along their offensive line.

The Chicago Bears got a great effort from quarterback Mitchell Trubisky this past week, as he actually outdueled Deshaun Watson, a player he is forever linked to. While Trubisky looked good against the Houston Texans, that does not mean the team will give him a new deal and consider him the franchise again.

In fact, they will likely use their first-round pick on a quarterback next year, and Trey Lance should be one of the first few off the board. In Lance, they get a strong-armed quarterback who can also make plays with his feet, as they look to turn the page from the Trubisky Era.
