2021 NFL Draft: Full first-round mock draft with Bucs adding offense

2021 NFL Draft: Picks 18-23

Parsons is one of the most talented players in the class, but linebacker is not a major position of need. Parsons only slips based on position, and this fully works to the benefit of the Dolphins. Miami had a great defense in 2020, and Parsons would only take that group to the next level during a year with higher playoff hopes.

After years of targeting the defense in the first round, the Washington Football team needs to address the offensive side of the ball with their first-round pick. Cosmi will add a consistent presence on the offensive line, and the WFT will be in a better position to add a new quarterback once they set up consistent protection for one.

The Bears are still struggling with their identity. They have quarterbacks on their team that they don’t want, receivers that don’t get used, and a coach that is likely nearing the end of his tenure. Darrisaw is more of a pick for the future rather than winning now, but the Bears need everything possible to keep their offense from dragging their defense down again in 2021.

The Colts surprisingly had one of the best defenses in the NFL last year. Given several free-agent departures and an offense that is mainly only switching out Philip Rivers for Carson Wentz, they can afford to take one of the better corner options from the class to replace any free agent departures and make a strength stronger.

The Titans are mostly set on the offensive side of the ball, but they should try to build up their defense more. The Titan pass rush could use a cheap rookie with a high upside like Azeez Ojulari, who is quickly rising in prominence as one of the better pass-rushers of the group.

Even if the Jets keep Darnold at quarterback, a receiver with their second first-round pick makes plenty of sense. Marshall has a high-upside with the ability to start from day one, and the Jets desperately need help on the receiver front.
