2021 NFL Mock Draft: Najee Harris heads west to join a Super Bowl contender
By Brad Weiss
The Jacksonville Jaguars addressed the most important part of their team at pick No. 1, adding Trevor Lawrence, and now they go out and get themselves someone who can protect him for the foreseeable future late in round one. Jalen Mayfield has the versatility to play inside or out along the offensive line at the next level, making him a perfect prospect for new head coach Urban Meyer.
The Cleveland Browns are going to be one of the more impressive teams in the NFL next season, and at pick No. 26 overall, they bring in a dynamic pass rusher to team with Myles Garrett. With this pick, Gregory Rousseau lands in Cleveland, and many believe he is the best pure edge rusher in this draft class.
In a loaded AFC North next season, the Baltimore Ravens figure to be right back in the mix, as they have incredible playmakers on both sides of the ball. On defense, they could use a player with Azeez Ojulari’s skill set, a linebacker who can come up and set the edge, filling areas of need on that side of the ball.
For the first time in what seems like forever, the New Orleans Saints will go into an NFL season with a question mark at quarterback, as Drew Brees recently retired from the NFL. With pick No. 28 next month, however, they have to bolster the other side of the ball, and they get a versatile playmaker in Zaven Collins from Tulsa.
