So, this is the second to last Monday No-Trade mock that I am doing for 2021 here. I'll of course do more mock drafts next year on here. I'll be doing a Live Stream 1st round mock draft of all the teams on Twitch on April 26 and streams throughout the draft. I'll also probably do a few mock drafts midweek, and I'll do one last mock draft on here on that Wednesday. Last Monday draft next week. With that, let's get on with this mock draft via PFN! You all probably know how I do my mock drafts by now. Got quite lucky with this no trade.
1st round (10th overall) OT Penei Sewell Oregon
Penei Sewell 6'6" and 331 lbs. Best OL prospect in the draft. In this scenario on the PFN, he was just sitting there at 10, so I naturally took him. Given Tyron's injury history and the raw power that Sewell has, taking him at 10 was a no brainer.
2nd round (44th overall) S Richie Grant UCF
Richie Grant 6'0 and 194 lbs. One of the two best safeties in the draft. Richie Grant was an easy choice here to make. He, Kazee, and Wilson gives us 3 good safties, and Grant is excellent at tracking passes in the air. He has excellent ball skills. Grant is also good against the run. Grant is the safety we need at this spot.
3rd round (75th overall) DE Jordan Smith UAB
Jordan Smith 6'6" and 255 lbs. Tall DE who is also quick. He's a terrific pass rusher, as is evident in the above video. I'd have him rotate with Gregory. Gives us help one the edge with our trenches.
3rd round (99th overall) DT Tyler Shelvin LSU
Tyler Shelvin 6'2" and 350 lbs. Absolutely massive 1T DT. Swallows up blocks well with his size. His size allows him to also be able to wear down blockers that have to try to get in his way. It can get very tiring for olinemen to block him. If he slips by his blockers, he crushes running backs like a freight train on an orange. His size also allows him to push the pocket in pass rush, eliminating the QB from being able to step up. This traps the QB who then has to roll to the outside right into the waiting arms of DLaw, Gregory, Basham, and Jordan Smith.
4th round (115th overall) CB Ambry Thomas Michigan
Ambry Thomas 6'0" and 183 lbs. Good size, quick at flipping his hips, and tracks the ball well. All in all, a nice upgrade over Awuzie. Also a good KR.
4th round (138th overall) WR Anthony Schwartz Auburn

Anthony Schwartz 6'0 and 186 lbs. As mentioned in the last mock draft, fasten your seatbelts while watching him. Get the ball in his hands, and he runs like Sonic the Hedgehog. How fast exactly? How does a 4.26 40 sound? That's electric fast! He'd be LETHAL in the slot with that speed. Also wouldn't be a bad replacement for Gallup if we don't keep Gallup next year. For this year, we'd have Coop, Gallup, Lamb, Wilson, and Schwartz. No need for any other WR on this roster with that lineup at WR! Also a good idea to stick Schwartz back at KR. Anything to get the ball in his hands with his speed.
5th round (179th overall) CB Camryn Bynum California
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjThom4s0gg&t=83s
Camryn Bynum 6'0" and 198 lbs. "Tough, instinctive cornerback with terrific ball skills. Quick flipping his hips, loses nothing in transition, and rarely makes mental mistakes or gets beaten on the field. Plays heads-up football, possesses next-level ball skills and awareness, and displays excellent hands for the interception." (PFN). Could battle with Jourdan Lewis for the 3rd CB spot.
6th round (192nd overall) CB Tre Brown Oklahoma
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDwaPF2AW34&t=65s
Tre Brown 5'9" and 188 lbs. Quintessential slot CB. Not a big CB, but he's also quick! Another option at KR as well as PR. Gives us Lamb, Pollard, Schwartz, Thomas, and Brown as return options. Also, if you watch the video, you'll see that he's excellent at blitzing and has nice hands for tracking the ball.
6th round (227th overall) LB Justin Hillard Ohio State
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVXVsnn0010&t=31s
Justin Hillard 6'1" and 231 lbs. "Quick to read and diagnose, takes proper angles to the action, and breaks down well, using his hands to protect himself. Keeps the action in front of him, doesn't get caught out of position and flows well to the play. Gets depth on pass drops and quickly picks up coverage assignments. (PFN)" Would be a nice pickup for us. Underrated LB.
7th round (238th overall) CB Darren Hall San Diego State
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYkGh9HBqbE&t=38s
Darren Hall 5'11" and 189 lbs. "Nice-sized cornerback with a knack for breaking up a lot of passes. Quick-footed in reverse, effectively reads and diagnoses plays and possesses a good burst to the ball. Breaks down well, fights with his hands and positions himself against receivers to make a play. Gives effort defending the run, firing up the field and wrapping up ball handlers." PFN. I'm aware that Hall makes 4 CBs in this draft, but he's another good addition at CB. Solid against the run as well as the pass. Underrated. Excellent way to round out the draft.
I hope you all enjoyed it. Thoughts?
