2021 NFL Mock Draft: New York Jets pass on a quarterback

The Las Vegas Raiders have seen their season go to shambles over the last six weeks, as they have lost five games and are losing them heartbreakingly. The Raiders offense has not been an issue this season, no matter how much critics of Derek Carr would like to think it has. So with pick No. 16, they address the defense of side of the ball.

One area where this team has struggled mightily in recent years is at linebacker, and they bring in the best coverage linebacker in this draft class in Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah. The All-American from Notre Dame will come in and start right away for the Silver and Black, giving them a dominant presence in the middle of their defense.

The Arizona Cardinals are scratching their way towards a playoff berth, but they are going to have to win and get a lot of help in Week 17. To make matters worse, quarterback Kyler Murray may not be available for Kliff Kingsbury, so it could be another year out of the playoffs for this franchise.

Moving forward, the Cardinals have to fix some issues on the defensive side of the ball, including their pass rush. With pick No. 17, they had Michigan star Kwity Paye, a dynamic edge rusher who could be a double-digit sack guy at the next level.

All things considered, it has been a pretty successful season for Philip Rivers in Indianapolis, as he has cut down on his turnovers and has led the Colts to double-digit wins. The problem is, they still could fall short of the playoffs, so wholesale changes could be coming next offseason.

Whether or not Rivers returns for another season is under discussion, but if he does, they have to improve the offensive line. At pick No. 18, the Colts bring in Samuel Cosmi, a monster of an offensive tackle from Texas, who could come in and start at left tackle right away.
