2021 NFL Mock Draft: Najee Harris heads west to join a Super Bowl contender

The Los Angeles Chargers have done a nice job this offseason bolstering their offensive line, bringing in talent on the interior upfront for Justin Herbert. Last year, the Chargers made Herbert a first-round pick, and all he did as a rookie was show that he was every bit the part of a franchise quarterback at the NFL level.

This year, they have to bring in an offensive tackle to protect his blindside, and they do so by adding Rashawn Slater. If Penei Sewell was not in this draft, Slater would be the first OT off the board, so to get him at pick No. 13 is a great pick for the Bolts.

The Minnesota Vikings are a team that should be in the mix for the playoffs next season, as they have talent on both sides of the ball. On offense, they have one of the more dynamic running backs in football in Dalvin Cook, and they should do everything they can to make sure he has the best offensive line possible in front of him.

Enter Alijah Vera-Tucker, the best interior offensive lineman in this draft class, and someone who could come in and bolster this offensive line as a rookie. Vera-Tucker is big, athletic, and strong, and will do a nice job clearing paths for Cook in 2021 and beyond.

After a rare miss in terms of the playoffs, the New England Patriots are not messing around this offseason, spending a ton of money in free agency. Bill Belichick and company will likely be back in the playoffs in 2021, and with the No. 15 pick next month, they can set themselves up for more success in the future.

Trey Lance is considered a top-3 quarterback in this draft class, and he would be a perfect fit in New England to take over for Cam Newton down the road. He has great feet, a tremendous arm, and a very high football IQ, and would be the long-term successor to Tom Brady for the Patriots.
