2021 NFL Mock Draft: Las Vegas Raiders continue to bolster defense
13. player. 47. . Quarterback. New England Patriots. Kyle Trask
The Patriots badly need a quarterback, as Cam Newton has not worked out in New England, but they do not have an early enough pick to get one of the top prospects. The Patriots reach a bit for Kyle Trask, as he seems to be a quarterback that would fit better in the system than Newton, and is having a tremendous season at Florida.
. Linebacker. Denver Broncos. Dylan Moses. 14. player. 45
Before an injury last season, Dylan Moses was a projected top-ten pick and the top linebacker in the class. Moses is still a top prospect in the draft. Although the Broncos have great edge rushing linebackers, they may not have a linebacker on the defense as complete as Moses, who will be the second off the board after Parsons.
42. . Offensive Lineman. San Francisco 49ers. Wyatt Davis. 15. player
The San Francisco 49ers have been plagued with injuries this season after making the Super Bowl a year ago, and currently are slated to pick in the middle of the first round next April. Unless the 49ers look to replace their quarterback with this pick, the 49ers should look for someone to protect him, and Wyatt Davis is a versatile offensive lineman who can play guard or center.
57. . Wide Receiver. Chicago Bears. Rashod Bateman. 16. player
The Chicago Bears biggest need is no doubt quarterback, but with a pick this late in the first round of the draft, they will wait until later to fix that problem. The Bears go with one of the best receivers in the draft to replace Allen Robinson, who will likely not be with Chicago next season, adding the dynamic Rashod Bateman from Minnesota.
