2021 NFL Mock Draft: New England Patriots get a new Gronk

The Atlanta Falcons, who hold the fourth overall pick in 2021, have a lot of question marks heading into next season as well. This was a pretty disappointing season for the Falcons, who are only a few years removed from a Super Bowl appearance and are now in the market for a new head coach.

If they do decide to turn the page on quarterback Matt Ryan, look for them to target BYU quarterback Zach Wilson in this year’s draft. Wilson is a kid who can make all the throws at the next level and would be a fresh start for the organization at the quarterback position, something that may be needed at this point.

With the fifth overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Cincinnati Bengals should look to address the defensive side of the ball. The Bengals already have their franchise quarterback in Joe Burrow, who should return early in the 2021 NFL season, but the defense needs work.

With this pick, the Bengals select the best defensive player in the draft class, adding Penn State linebacker Micah Parsons. This is a kid who can play sideline to sideline at the next level, bolstering a Bengals defense that will need to improve if they want to challenge in a tough AFC North next season.

The Philadelphia Eagles had one of the more controversial games in recent memory on Sunday night, as they seemingly tanked against the Washington Football Team. The loss to the division rival enabled Washington to clinch the NFC East, and also left a team with question marks at quarterback.

The relationship between Carson Wentz and head coach Doug Pederson is fractured, so the job should belong to Jalen Hurts next season. Whoever is under center, the Eagles need more weapons on the outside, and they get an absolute monster at wide receiver in DeVonta Smith with the sixth overall pick, who just happened to take home the Heisman Trophy on Tuesday night.
