Amidst confusing declaration regulations and an uncertain NFL Combine procedure, the 2021 NFL Draft may be the hardest one ever to predict. Despite fewer “All-Star” games than usual, the Reese’s Senior Bowl next week should bring draft stock into focus. With the NFL season almost over, we’ll soon know the exact order for all 32 teams. Prior to that, this latest 4-round 2021 NFL Mock Draft attempts to predict what may happen in April.

As with previous versions of my 4-round 2021 NFL Mock Draft, I strive to marry team needs with prospects that fill them. As we progress through free agency and hurdle towards the draft, those needs will inevitably change. Just in the last week, the retirements of Philip Rivers and Drew Brees have altered the priorities for the Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints. In the last 24 hours, it was announced that Matthew Stafford and the Detroit Lions are also set to part ways.

Do those needs get met in this 4-round 2021 NFL Mock Draft? Read on to find out!
