2021 7-Round NFL Mock Draft | Round 4, Picks 106-111
Listed on this page is the fourth and fifth round of this 7-Round 2021 NFL Mock Draft. We begin with the Jacksonville Jaguars at pick 106.
106. Jacksonville Jaguars
Shaun Wade, CB/S, Ohio State
107. New York Jets
Cam McGrone, LB, Michigan
108. Atlanta Falcons
Zech McPhearson, CB, Texas Tech
A.J. Terrell’s rookie season was a positive sign moving forward for the team, and Isaiah Oliver looked solid as a nickel corner. On the other hand, I’m not sold on Kendall Sheffield’s play. The team signed Fabian Moreau, who likely starts at CB2, but he’s only on a one-year deal. As a result, corner depth is a must-have for the Falcons moving forward, and they’ll answer that here in this 7-Round 2021 NFL Mock Draft.
Zech McPhearson will be the first Texas Tech DB to be drafted since 2010, and for a good reason. McPhearson’s athleticism and playmaking stand out on film, and it’s clear he possesses great physical skills. He demonstrated surprising fluidity and channeled aggressiveness on film, two rather endearing traits for my grading scale. McPhearson might not start right away, but he has the traits worth developing and has proven he can play outside and inside.
109. Houston Texans
Thomas Graham Jr., CB, Oregon
110. Chicago Bears (via CLE)
Trill Williams, CB/S, Syracuse
111. Cincinnati Bengals
Brevin Jordan, TE, Miami (FL)
Round 4 | Picks 112-117
112. Cleveland Browns (via DET)
Robert Hainsey, OG/C, Notre Dame
Trade! The Detroit Lions trade pick 112 to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for WR Jarvis Landry and a fourth-round pick in 2022.
I know many Browns fans (and perhaps Lions fans) will begrudge this trade here in this 7-Round 2021 NFL Mock Draft. However, I make it with both sides in mind. The Browns are looking to go faster on offense, which isn’t Jarvis Landry’s M.O., and he makes way too much money for that.
For the Lions, he adds a veteran presence in their receiving room plus a future pick as an incentive for taking Landry. John Dorsey, who originated the trade for Landry to Cleveland, is now a high-ranking executive in Detroit. Campbell was the tight ends coach and interim head coach in Miami while Landry was with the Dolphins. Lions assistant wide receivers coach Seth Ryan apprenticed under Phil McGeoghan with the Chargers, who, you guessed it, was Landry’s WRs coach in Miami.
The Browns add a versatile offensive lineman who can play both guard spots and center at the next level if need be. Likewise, with J.C. Tretter, Joel Bitonio, and Wyatt Teller’s future up in the air, it makes sense they should add depth now to be an eventual replacement.
113. Green Bay Packers (via CAR)
Tyree Gillespie, S, Missouri
Trade! The Green Bay Packers trade picks 135 and 178 to the Carolina Panthers in exchange for pick 113.
114. Denver Broncos
Talanoa Hufanga, S, USC
115. Dallas Cowboys
Stone Forsythe, OT, Florida
116. New York Giants
Jackson Carman, OT/OG, Clemson
117. San Francisco 49ers
Tre Brown, CB, Oklahoma
Round 4 | Picks 118-123
118. Chicago Bears (via LAC)
Bobby Brown III, DT, Texas A&M
Trade! The Los Angeles Chargers trade pick 118 to the Chicago Bears in exchange for DE Akiem Hicks.
Brandon Staley is looking for another talented defensive lineman who can play a variety of roles up front. The Bears have permitted Akiem Hicks to seek a trade. Given Staley’s familiarity with Hicks, this has logic for both sides in this 7-Round 2021 NFL Mock Draft.
The Bears nab a raw but talented ball of clay in Bobby Brown III as a potential replacement for Hicks. His length and power make him a dominant force on the interior, but he needs to get better with his hands and pad level to become a consistently dominant player.
119. Minnesota Vikings
Osa Odighizuwa, DT, UCLA
120. New England Patriots
Ihmir Smith-Marsette, WR, Iowa
121. Las Vegas Raiders
Deonte Brown, OG, Alabama
122. Pittsburgh Steelers (via NE)
Charles Snowden, EDGE, Virginia
Trade! The Pittsburgh Steelers send picks 128 and 216 to the New England Patriots in exchange for pick 122.
The Steelers need to invest in an EDGE of the future after losing Bud Dupree. The depth there is virtually non-existent. Charles Snowden is an elite athlete whose basketball background shows on film. He’s a ridiculous 6’6″, and that length shows up when he rushes the passer. He has the versatility Pittsburgh covets with their outside linebackers as he can drop into space in coverage.
123. Detroit Lions (via PHI)
Kenneth Gainwell, RB, Memphis
Round 4 | Picks 124-129
124. Washington Football Team
James Hudson, OT, Cincinnati
125. Minnesota Vikings
Divine Deablo, S, Virginia Tech
126. Tennessee Titans
Shawn Davis, S, Florida
127. Indianapolis Colts
Derrick Barnes, LB, Purdue
The Colts lost linebacker Anthony Walker in free agency to the Cleveland Browns. Walker takes with him 1,799 snaps over the last two seasons at linebacker, including 282 snaps on special teams. While the team still has young standouts in Darius Leonard and Bobby Okereke, they need to add depth. Therefore, I’d imagine they’ll invest in the LB room on Day 3 of the 2021 NFL Draft.
The Colts love Senior Bowl players, especially elite athletes. Derrick Barnes checks off both of those boxes, standing out in the Senior Bowl practices and at his pro day. Barnes generated an 8.62 overall RAS, with an elite 20-yard split and vertical. He wasn’t a team captain, but Barnes was uber-productive in college. Ballard likes rangy, athletic linebackers with some length to them, all of which are in Barnes’ wheelhouse.
128. New England Patriots (via PIT)
Cam Sample, EDGE, Tulane
129. Seattle Seahawks
Benjamin St-Juste, CB, Minnesota
Round 4 | Picks 130-135
130. Buffalo Bills (via JAX)
Anthony Schwartz, WR, Auburn
131. Baltimore Ravens
Tyler Shelvin, DT, LSU
Nose tackle Brandon Williams has just one year left on his deal. The Ravens love the run-stuffing maulers in the middle of their defense, as it allows defensive coordinator Don Martindale’s scheme to do so many unique things with the rest of their defensive front. Nabbing his replacement here in this 7-Round NFL 2021 Mock Draft would fit their MO.
Tyler Shelvin is an absolute mammoth on the football field. Measuring in at 6’2″ and 350 pounds at his pro day, Shelvin is a massive force up the middle. He also has arguably the best anchor against double-teams in this class. However, Shelvin doesn’t offer much as a pass rusher, but Baltimore doesn’t need him to do that.
132. Cleveland Browns
Josh Palmer, WR, Tennessee
133. New Orleans Saints
Cade Johnson, WR, South Dakota State
134. Minnesota Vikings
D.J. Daniel, CB, Georgia
135. Carolina Panthers (via GB)
Chazz Surratt, LB, North Carolina
Round 4 | Picks 136-144
136. Baltimore Ravens (via KC)
David Moore, OG/C, Grambling State
137. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Trey Sermon, RB, Ohio State
138. Dallas Cowboys
Dayo Odeyingbo, EDGE, Vanderbilt
139. New England Patriots
Chauncey Golston, EDGE, Iowa
140. Pittsburgh Steelers
Ben Cleveland, OG, Georgia
141. Los Angeles Rams
Janarius Robinson, EDGE, Florida State
The Rams re-signed Leonard Floyd yet still need a pass rusher on the outside. The team is hoping Terrell Lewis stays healthy and plays a full season, but the depth behind Lewis and Floyd isn’t strong. With Samson Ebukam also gone, the outside pass rusher is a weak spot on the Rams’ defense. They’ll fix that here in this 7-Round 2021 NFL Mock Draft.
Additionally, the Rams love long, athletic pass rushers. Robinson boasts an 86-inch wingspan and is a juiced-up athlete. He’s the perfect rotational edge rusher that can develop and provide much-needed explosiveness to a rather lackluster unit.
142. Green Bay Packers
Marvin Wilson, DT, Florida State
143. Minnesota Vikings
Royce Newman, OT/OG, Ole Miss
144. Kansas City Chiefs
Adetokunbo Ogundeji, EDGE, Notre Dame
Ade Ogundeji is a lengthy and explosive edge rusher, albeit rather raw. He’s got inside/outside versatility, similar to Kpassagnon. Ogundeji displayed his explosiveness with a stellar 10-foot broad jump and impressive 10 and 20-yard splits. He has to improve his overall pass-rush plan, but in this 7-Round 2021 NFL Mock Draft, he has the tools and upside to invest Day 3 capital.
2021 7-Round NFL Mock Draft | Round 5, Picks 145-152
145. Jacksonville Jaguars
D’Ante Smith, OT/OG, East Carolina
146. New York Jets
Tommy Doyle, OT, Miami (OH)
147. Houston Texans
Shi Smith, WR, South Carolina
148. Atlanta Falcons
Patrick Jones, EDGE, Pitt
149. Cincinnati Bengals
Chris Rumph II, EDGE, Duke
150. Philadelphia Eagles
James Wiggins, S, Cincinnati
151. Carolina Panthers
Victor Dimukeje, EDGE, Duke
152. Jacksonville Jaguars (via DEN)
Jaylon Moore, OT, Western Michigan
Trade! The Denver Broncos trade pick 152 to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for QB Gardner Minshew.
Since the Broncos couldn’t add a top quarterback, their next objective has been to provide competition for Drew Lock. Given that the Jaguars paid C.J. Beathard to be Lawrence’s backup, it leaves Minshew’s roster spot in question.
Furthermore, the Broncos get a young, cheap competitor to boost their quarterback room, while the Jaguars use the pick to draft a developmental left tackle who could be the successor to Cam Robinson next year in this 7-Round 2021 NFL Mock Draft.
Round 5 | Picks 153-159
153. Detroit Lions
Darrick Forrest, S, Cincinnati
154. New York Jets
Joshua Kaindoh, EDGE, Florida State
155. San Francisco 49ers
Drew Dalman, C, Stanford
156. Miami Dolphins
Rhamondre Stevenson, RB, Oklahoma
157. Minnesota Vikings
Dylan Moses, LB, Alabama
158. Houston Texans
Seth Williams, WR, Auburn
159. Los Angeles Chargers
Shaka Toney, EDGE, Penn State
Round 5 | Picks 160-168
160. Arizona Cardinals
Monty Rice, LB, Georgia
161. Buffalo Bills
Joshuah Bledsoe, S, Missouri
The Bills were in on multiple safeties in the 2020 NFL Draft, building a multiple-safety defense. Adding Joshuah Bledsoe in this 7-Round 2021 NFL Mock Draft, a player who has lined up both deep and in the slot, to help round out that safety room would fit their goals. Bledsoe is a high-intelligence communicator in the secondary, something that Buffalo would love to add to their defense.
162. Las Vegas Raiders
Jaelon Darden, WR, North Texas
163. Washington Football Team
Daelin Hayes, EDGE, Notre Dame
164. Chicago Bears
Hamilcar Rashed Jr., EDGE, Oregon State
165. Indianapolis Colts
Simi Fehoko, WR, Stanford
166. Tennessee Titans
Trevon Grimes, WR, Florida
167. Las Vegas Raiders
William Bradley-King, EDGE, Baylor
168. Minnesota Vikings
Tutu Atwell, WR, Louisville
I’d expect the size concerns to drop Tutu Atwell, given that players with his size and frame are virtually non-existent in the NFL. As a slot/gadget receiver for Minnesota, who already has Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen, Atwell can do damage with his explosiveness.
Round 5 | Picks 169-177
169. Cleveland Browns
Brandon Stephens, CB, SMU
170. Jacksonville Jaguars
Patrick Johnson, EDGE, Tulane
171. Baltimore Ravens
Darius Stills, DT, West Virginia
172. San Francisco 49ers
JaCoby Stevens, S, LSU
173. Green Bay Packers
Caden Sterns, S, Texas
174. Buffalo Bills
Khyiris Tonga, DT, BYU
175. Kansas City Chiefs
Damar Hamlin, S, Pitt
176. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Jamien Sherwood, S, Auburn
177. New England Patriots
Demetric Felton, RB/WR, UCLA
The Patriots did re-sign James White this offseason, but if Demetric Felton is available, I’d bet it would be difficult for Belichick to pass on a back of his skill set. Moreover, White’s deal is only for one season. Felton primarily played running back at UCLA but lined up and went through receiving drills in Mobile for the Senior Bowl and looked sharp.
Round 5 | Picks 178-184
178. Carolina Panthers (via GB)
Shemar Jean-Charles, CB, Appalachian State
179. Dallas Cowboys
Austin Watkins, WR, UAB
180. San Francisco 49ers
Jermar Jefferson, RB, Oregon State
181. Kansas City Chiefs
Kary Vincent Jr., CB, LSU
182. Atlanta Falcons
Tony Fields II, LB, West Virginia
183. Atlanta Falcons
Jacob Harris, WR/ TE, UCF
184. Baltimore Ravens
Darius Hodge, EDGE, Marshall
