That would be great value for Tennessee if Paye falls , he's top DE on a lot of boards but his range is from like Dallas to Pittsburgh in mocks depending. They need front seven help in the worst way , also could look at offensive line but with the run on linemen in this mock it just didn't make sense.
Newsome is a player as I said that I really like at corner , think he has the chance to be good and would be a good fit with Saleh. The Jets could go a number of ways with that pick. I could Harris go there , or one of the WRs left on the board , another team with line issues. I mean it's the Jets so going BPA at any position aside from QB makes sense at 23.

Well, here goes nothing. As said before, the more I research for this thing, the more depressed I get about the upcoming season and future ones. Anyway, without further ado:
With the 24th pick of the 2021 PW Joint Mock Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers select...
Najee Harris, RB, Alabama
This feels little outside Steelers tradition, but... fuck it, I think they're entering a transition period here where they might have to break with the status quo and the whole "standard is the standard" shtick. With OLs dropping like flies all of a sudden, namely Vera-Tucker, it became time to pivot. I read an article comparing Najee to a prime Le'Veon Bell, and I liked the memories of the first time we got to watch Bell work his magic. Maybe Bell even comes back in free agency and can help mentor Najee, assuming Bell has matured? Or maybe they can smoke dope together and turn exceed the speed limit racing up McKnight Road. Anyway, I've got my eye on an OL that I'm hopeful I can nab in later round. And I'm praying Randy Fichtner learns a thing or two about how to call a run game (and/or that Big Ben stops audibling out of running plays). Plus, for the Steelers to drop a first round pick on a running back, it's gotta be with last name like Harris to channel that Franco Immaculate Reception juju.

It's weird how quickly the narrative around the Steelers has changed. I didn't like them when they were undefeated and people were pencilling them in for the Super Bowl, but now I think it's ridiculous that after a poor run to end everyone is counting them out and calling it a terrible move to bring Ben back for one last crack. If there were ever a team that it would make sense to use a first rounder on a running back it's this Pittsburgh team. They simply have to get more juice back there than Benny Snell and Kalen Ballage. ps. Randy Fichtner got canned 🤯, old QB coach Matt Canada is the new OC.

I like the Harris pick for Pittsburgh , he feels like the perfect Steeler type back and someone who can carry the offense in his rookie year. And @admin I just don’t love their roster as it stands. Adding a back and a pass rusher would go a long ways though - and I still think Ben is about done for.

I had to research this because I think the Steelers are still good, but I just can't get the thought of them dropping passes out of my head. Of course, I was correct that they suck at catching and here's the numbers.
TOP 3 MOST DROPPED PASSES LAST SEASON: 1- DALLAS COWBOYS- 31 2- PITTSBURGH STEELERS- 30 3- DETROIT LIONS- 26
I'm surprised the Cowboys dropped so many passes, but still. 30 dropped passes for Pittsburgh. 16 of those 30 dropped passes were Dionte Johnson who led the NFL in dropped passes. If they can invest their offseason in Dionte catching passes, then they should be fine since he's their go to guy in short passes. There's no way they can rely on huge gains game after game from Claypool.
I still like the Steelers, because I think their defense is still unbelievable. We'll see. Drafting Najee Harris would be dope, though and I'm sure Steeler Nation wouldn't mind having another "HARRIS" on the back of their RBs jersey.

With the 25th pick in the 2021 PW NFL Mock Draft , the Jacksonville Jaguars select: Christian Barmore , DT , Alabama The Jaguars have needs everywhere so it makes most sense for them to basically go BPA here and Barmore is probably that , whilst also filling a need for a defense that ranked near the bottom in every single rushing category in the league last year and a front seven lacking explosion in general. They Jags can't really afford to miss on any of these early picks and while Barmore is young , he is another linemen from that Alabama pipeline who I think would come in and put in work under Meyer and give Josh Allen and Chaisson a running partner in the middle of the defense. Cleveland and @kids are OTC

With the 26th pick in the NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns select:
TREVON MOEHRIG, SAFETY OUT OF TCU.
Look, I even added a picture! The Cleveland Browns might be the favorites to win the division this year if you can just get over the stigma of them being the Browns organization. If Baker Mayfield can stay mistake free and they can continue wearing out defenses with the Chubb/Hunt combo, then they'll be in great shape. Especially if their defense takes it to another level. Drafting Trevon Moehrig will definitely help them get better on defense. The Cleveland Browns safeties earned the worst cumulative grade in the league last season at 48.2. Thank you Google. Drafting the best safety in the draft is definitely a great move for this organization. From what I've read, his only negative thing going on was having some back pain for the combine which he says caused him to look slower. I like the move. I know a lot of places have the Browns going for a LB in the first round and I wouldn't be against that either, but if the safety position is ranking last then you need to do something to fix that issue and I feel getting this guy could help. Blindy and the Baltimore Ravens are on the clock.

I really like Moehrig , wanted to draft him to the Jags and seen it a lot but either one would have worked. Moehrig will be good with the Browns and is physical enough to drop down in the box and be sort of a sub linebacker for them. He and Johnson will be a level of swag to the backend of the secondary that should be fun.
The Browns really have no reason not to win the division next year , especially with their offensive line back intact and another year in the system for Baker and the rebuilding a bit on defense. The only other position I'd love to see them address is someone to go opposite Garrett but the options aren't as obvious here.

Only thing I read bad about Moehrig is that he's not the best open field tackler and would most likely get run over by bigger receivers and good luck with him tackling a RB if they break free. Still, he's the best ranked Safety in the draft so you got to go with him.

I think Browns ride with safeties Josh Johnson and Grant Delpit, the team's 2nd rounder last year who was lost in training camp. Taking a safety here means Dalpit isn't where the team wants him to be and would be Berry's way of saying that 2nd round pick was a mistake. Curious which of the two moves to SS, I think Johnson. Delpit's tackling was a concern later on despite being a heck of a ballhawk at LSU.

With the 27th pick of the 2021 NFL Draft, the Baltimore Ravens select DE/OLB Jaelen Phillips out of Miami(FL)
Sort of another chalk pick, I was tempted to and get a WR to compliment Hollywood Brown & Watkins but I feel WR is so deep they can go Day 2 for that. Not counting OLine out either with Orlando Brown having one foot out the door due to not playing LT.
On the other hand with Matthew Judon and Yannick Ngakoue both gone, the pass rush has taken a massive nosedive and Baltimore to compliment Wink Martingdale's defense take the guy who took the forefront of the U pass rush with Rousseau opting out. I don't think Phillips has Rousseau's upside but from the get go, he will find ways to haunt QBs and will be relied upon heavily to assist with QB pressures. If Baltimore doesn't find talent somewhere in regards to pass rush, team is going to be sitting ducks for the Mayfield's, the Burrow's, and yes the Big Ben's of the world to throw at them. End of the day, it's all about making Patrick Maholmes life a living hell up front so durability issues aside, Phillips who had a heck of a 2020 season makes it in the tail end of round 1.
This pick could blow up in my face looking back due to the injury concerns and I assume some teams may have him off draft board as it seems like 1-2 prospects have some underlying conditions that make them fall out every single draft but knowing what we know, that won't be the case here.
Saints OTC @theshow .

It’s 2021 Blindy ... teams are running a majority of sun packages and look for that third safety who can versatile and play the slot or play in the box. Whether that’s Moehrig or not is debatable but having three starting caliber safeties is certainly a huge advantage. A former second round pick who may or may not be good isn’t a reason to pass on a player if you think he can contribute.

That's fine if they roll with a 3 safety rotation though Ronnie Harrison Jr may have been their best safety so this pick probably signals him to be a backup for the major 3.

Well as Kid pointed out , he was one half of the worst starting safety duo in the league last year so I don’t think being the best of the worst cumulative starters in the league isn’t great job security.

Lost time due to COVID IIRC. Not hating on the pick, just think Berry is higher on Delpit than most given he was his 44th pick, torn Achilles or not. He was looking really good prior to the injury.

I think Savage and Amos are one of the best safety duo's in the league but wouldn't even hate a Moehrig pick for the Packers given the versatility he can bring to he defense and how much three safety sets the Packers still plan on running. He wouldn't be my first choice but I wouldn't hate it.

With the 28th pick of the 2021 NFL Draft, the New Orleans Saints select Asante Samuel Jr., CB, Florida State This may be a reach at this point in the draft but I really have no idea where the Saints will go with their pick. The past has shown that Sean Payton and Co. always draft the guy they are enamored with the most over need. Whether it's reaching for a guy or trading up for their guy remains to be seen. With 8 picks in this draft, it would shock me if the Saints do not move up at some point. I've decided to go CB in the first round because this is the position with the biggest hole IMO. They've lost a lot this offseason due to cap casualties so I can see them going DB, LB, DL, or WR to fill a need or they could just draft another OL. Anyways...losing Janoris Jenkins puts the Saints in a big hole for the CB2 position. I really hope this pick is a CB and Asante Samuel Jr is a guy with a proven pedigree that can step in right away to help the secondary. He was a ball-hawking CB for Florida State with great instincts. Lack of size may be an issue but he plays physical and he really jumped out to me watching some of his games. He also brings versatility so he can play the outside or be moved to nickle. Hopefully he can tackle better than his dad. LOL. A potential secondary consisting Lattimore, CGJ, Marcus Williams, Malcolm Jenkins, and Samuel is pretty exciting. Packers UT OTC

With the 29th pick of the 2021 PW NFL Mock Draft , MY GREEN BAY PACKERS select: Kadarius Toney , WR , Florida First things first , I don't think this is actually going to happen. I love Toney as a player but him falling and the Packers pulling the trigger just is too good to be true for my Packers draft history. The way this mock fell though it only makes sense for the Packers who haven't had a player with Toney's skillset in as long as I remember. Not only would he bring a whole different dimension of speed and explosiveness to the offense and some elite skills in the open field - but he would also help a putrid return game. I could see him being a huge factor right away as the motion/sweep guy that defenses always have to account for and unlike an Ervin or Austin from last year - actually be able to do something once he gets the ball in space. Just the kind of attention you'd have to pay to him would change this entire offense and open things up for the running game and in the middle of the field. Also as he gets more and more acclamated to the NFL , I could see him become a dominant slot guy. It would be so much fun if this happened and IMO he's the best player on the board here. I could also see the Packers trade up to the early twenties to try and secure a tackle or corner and I don't think all the top cornerbacks will be gone by pick 15 , one is going to fall. Either way though I'd be okay with what transpired here. @admin and RT's Bufflalo Bills are OTC

I don't know what to think of Phillips , some places seem to overlook his injury history but others don't and the NFL usually doesn't. The guy is a concussion away from possibly having to retire from football. I don't think he gets taken in the first day , maybe towards the end of the second day. Teams would be crazy to draft him in the first round.
There are so many prospects right around that same range like Oweh , Ossai , and Ojulari I think teams will opt for instead. I could definitely see the Ravens taking Oweh. He's raw but a physical freak in a similar mold of Judon or Bowser.

Oweh's lack of strength doesn't play well to Martendale's defense and would be a semi-project. I went pure BPA at the position but I don't have any more extensive info on a player or not. Sweat had that heart issue but didn't drop too far for Washington to draft and he's been a good player. Some of this gets overemphasized.
