2021 NFL Mock Draft: Atlanta Falcons replace Matt Ryan
By Brad Weiss
Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Christian Barmore. 22. player. 48. . Defensive Tackle
Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat a solid Minnesota Vikings team in Week 14, and they continue their march towards a playoff spot. Brady has had an up and down season for the Bucs, but once the playoffs roll around, they are going to be happy that he decided to join them this offseason.
On defense, the Bucs should use a first-round pick on the interior of their defensive line, and a player like Christian Barmore would be an excellent addition. He is strong, big, and has great feet, and would be another key contributor on an already solid defensive unit.
Samuel Cosmi. 23. player. 46. . Offensive Tackle. Indianapolis Colts
The Indianapolis Colts went into Allegiant Stadium this past Sunday to take on the Las Vegas Raiders in a game that had major playoff implications. From the jump, the Colts dominated on offense, running all over the Las Vegas defense, as they cruised to a 44-27 victory over the Silver and Black.
One area they need help on the offensive side of the ball is at the tackle position, and adding Samuel Cosmi would give them the kind of depth they need. They have had to shuffle players around due to injury this season, and if Philip Rivers returns in 2021, they need all the help they can get upfront.
Joseph Ossai. 24. player. 53. . Linebacker. Cleveland Browns
The Cleveland Browns lost a tough one on Monday night, as the Baltimore Ravens erased their late-game run to come back and win a crucial AFC North battle. For the Browns, they just need to tread water to make the playoffs, and quarterback Baker Mayfield looks like he has turned the corner in his development.
Looking at the defense, there is a lot to like on that side of the ball as well, but at linebacker, they need some help. Joseph Ossai is a guy who can come up and play the edge, as well as be solid in coverage, so he could check a bunch of boxes for this Browns defense.
