2021 NFL Mock Draft, Second Round Picks 45-52
45. Jacksonville (from Minnesota)
2021 NFL Mock Draft Pick: CB Kelvin Joseph, Kentucky
There are plenty of talented cornerbacks on the board, and the Jaguars finally help out the defensive side after going all offense with the first three picks.
Team Needs 1. QB, 2. OT, 3. DE
Backup Mock Draft Call: DE Gregory Rousseau, Miami
46. New England
2021 NFL Mock Draft Pick: DE Gregory Rousseau, Miami
Bill Belichick’s track record drafting wide receivers isn’t anything great, but he needs to keep pumping coins into that slot machine. He won’t do it here – even with several decent options on the board. He’ll grab more help for his D line.
Team Needs 1. QB, 2. WR, 3. DL
Backup Mock Draft Call: WR Tylan Wallace, Oklahoma State
47. Los Angeles Chargers
2021 NFL Mock Draft Pick: OT Sam Cosmi, Texas
The Chargers can’t get enough offensive linemen to protect Justin Herbert. They’ll get one at the 14, and a versatile one at the 47 to form the cornerstone of the line for the next several years.
Team Needs 1. OT, 2. DB, 3. DT
Backup Mock Draft Call: S Richie Grant, UCF
48. Las Vegas
2021 NFL Mock Draft Pick: OT Jaylen Mayfield, Michigan
It’ll kill Mike Mayock to pass on Richie Grant, but he needs an offensive tackle.
Team Needs 1. OT, 2. LB, 3. S
Backup Mock Draft Call: S Richie Grant, UCF
49. Arizona
2021 NFL Mock Draft Pick: WR Tylan Wallace, Oklahoma State
Kyler Murray needs more options than DeAndre Hopkins. The Cardinals might go corner even if they take one at the 16.
Team Needs 1. CB, 2. RB, 3. WR
Backup Mock Draft Call: RB Javonte Williams, North Carolina
50. Miami
2021 NFL Mock Draft Pick: RB Javonte Williams, North Carolina
Miami might think about another receiver even after taking one at the 6, but this is a good value slot for a running back who might solve a slew of issues.
Team Needs 1. WR, 2. OL, 3. DE
Backup Mock Draft Call: WR Dyami Brown, North Carolina
51. Washington
2021 NFL Mock Draft Pick: LB Dylan Moses, Alabama
He’s sliding way too far considering his talent level. The Football Team might think about adding to the receiving corps, and a few offensive tackles are available, but Moses fits.
Team Needs 1. OT, 2. QB, 3. LB
Backup Mock Draft Call: OT/OG Dillon Radunz, North Dakota State
52. Chicago
2021 NFL Mock Draft Pick: S Richie Grant, UCF
The Bears will take the best defensive back on the board after likely addressing the offensive front in the first round.
Team Needs 1. QB, 2. OT, 3. CB
Backup Mock Draft Call: CB Elijah Molden, Washington
