2021 NFL Mock Draft: Trades throw first round into chaos
By Brad Weiss
52. . OT. Jacksonville Jaguars. Liam Eichenberg. 25. player
The Jacksonville Jaguars will pick twice in the first round thanks to the Jalen Ramsey trade from a few years back, and with the No. 25 pick, they add a starting tackle to the mix. Liam Eichenberg is going to be one of the more NFL-ready tackles in this draft class and is fresh off an impressive showing at Notre Dame’s Pro Day.
player. 53. . DT. Cleveland Browns. Christian Barmore. 26
The Cleveland Browns are a team that will certainly be in the playoff mix again this upcoming season, as they came a game away from going to the AFC title game last year. With pick No. 26, they bolster the defensive line, bringing in the best defensive tackle in this draft class in Alabama’s Christian Barmore.
Baltimore Ravens. Trevon moehrig. 27. player. 26. . S
The Baltimore Ravens have to address the safety position, and Trevon Moehrig is one of the few safeties in this draft class that should go in round one. Baltimore is pretty stacked on both sides of the ball, but edge rusher and safety are an issue, and they get arguably the best safety in this class here at pick No. 27.
Rashod Bateman. 28. player. 15. . WR. New Orleans Saints
The New Orleans Saints will be without Drew Brees at quarterback for the first time in forever, so getting more weapons at wide receiver could help the team shoulder that loss. Adding a talent like Rashod Bateman to go along with Michael Thomas gives the new Saints quarterback, Jameis Winston or Taysom Hill, two elite weapons atop the depth chart heading into their first year replacing a legend.
