2021 NFL Mock Draft Submissions

It goes based on current standings and is update weekly.

At the moment, it looks like Edge Rushers and Offensive Lineman will be going at the top.

I also see that cornerbacks that can cover top college recievers man to man are highly sought after.

I bet when it comes to draft day five or six quarterbacks still go in the first round even though it's supposed to be a poor year for them. It's almost getting to the point where teams will take a chance in the first round in the hope they find a franchise quarterback that can start straight away and save the team some money for other positions. There's only been five teams that have hit the jackpot with Burrows, Herbert, Jackson, Murray, and Allen. Tua has a Chance to join that group if he continues playing well now that he has been given a decent chance.

Yeah there will definitely be teams that take a QB in the first or trade up to take a guy with a late-first grade. A desperate team doesn't want to miss out on a guy just because he has an early 2nd round grade instead of a mid first.

More quarterbacks are being mentioned as possible first round picks the closer we get to the draft.Three months ago the experts were saying the first quarterback comes off the board midway through the first round, I personally think you'll see three gone before then.

I do not see a QB going Top 5, unless the Texans are so desperate that they elect do so. Edge should go back to back to start imo atm, but that could change depending on the order.

I'd like the Steelers to take a shot on Pitt QB Kenny Pickett. He's having a huge year and plays his home games in Heinz already.

Pickett is okay. Big year and has progressed every year, but I do not him as a Burrow like some. Safest of the bunch, I will give him that, but probs lowest ceiling.

Rattler will be staying in college another year as he looks to transfer. Do not be surprised if he jumps back into contention for 2023 if he pops.

Anything has to be an improvement over the bloated corpse of Big Ben and Mason "Where am I?" Rudolph. The team's in a weird spot where it feels like the have the pieces to compete. They're strong at WR, have a bellcow RB, the pass rush is strong, they've got an all-pro safety. It's really a matter of the offensive line having time to gel and develop and finally drafting some serviceable defensive backs. I honestly can't remember the last time the Steelers drafted a decent starting CB. It has to be in the mid-2000s.

They need to solve this QB issue sooner than later while Najee is still on this rookie deal getting 25 touches a game.

I completely agree, but I do not see it in this draft. Try to get Rodgers. If not, try to get Wilson. If not and legal issues go away, try to get Watson. If all else fails, draft a guy in the 1st.

To me going after Rodgers and to a lesser extent Wilson is just pushing the problem down another year or two.

I think Rodgers has three good years left, Wilson five. I would take either over drafting a QB this year.

I think Warrior13 is right, I saw Aaron Rogers play the other night, and although I don't like the guy, I have to say he is easily the best quarterback in the league. The guy throws his passes with authority, he knows exactly what he is doing. He can easily play for another five years in the NFL, quarterbacks hardly get touched these days, not like the 70s and 80s.

I can actually see Aaron Rogers going to Pittsburgh in the off season unless the Packers win the Super Bowl in which case he might pen a deal for another year to try and get back to back championships to cement his claim as one of the greatest ever. I have a funny feeling Russell Wilson will end up in Washington. I've heard a few rumors, he definitely won't be in Seattle.

If Aaron Rodgers go to the Steelers, they would have a 3-5 year window of being legitimate contenders. No doubt.

I would really like that but have a terrible feeling that he would sign a huge deal and immediately decline into just being average.

No, I don't think so, too good a quarterback for that to happen. The guy is desperate to win another Super Bowl to cement his legacy. At the moment it's the knock against him, only winning one Super Bowl.

I guess it is a good thing he is on the Packers then. They look like the clear favorites at this point. Sure, a lot can change in the next month, but what other team can say they can win without anywhere from 7-11 starters on a weekly basis?

It's crazy how Brady and Belichick have skewed success in the NFL to the point where a Super Bowl win isn't enough to cement a legacy.

At least Rodgers has one. Marino never won one, and its the one stain on his career. I wholeheartedly believe he would be right up there with Brady if he just had one ring. The stuff he was doing in that era was ridiculous. If he played today, Marino might have finished with 100k yards, and I bet Dennis would back Me up on that.

100% behind you Warrior13, if Marino was playing today's you'd be looking at him throwing 60 plus Touchdowns a season. The guy got 48 back in 1984 and nobody got close to it until the rules changed. That fast relase and deadly accuracy would make him near impossible to defend in today's game where reciever can't be touched. Not winning a Super Bowl was not Marino's fault, he was just unfortunate to play with bad Miami teams during his career.

Yeah, Miami was as bad as the Lions in those days in terms of building a team around your superstar. Barry Sanders never really was given anything around him. Very sad for both guys as they had some of the most talent that I have ever seen.
