Colin Cowherd and Peter Schrager’s Updated 2021 NFL Mock Draft

He’s not a mock draft guy but Colin Cowherd is back yet once again with his 2021 NFL mock draft. In this edition Colin mocked the even picks and Peter Schrager mocks the odd numbered selections.

So how did they do?

Check out the picks for yourself below:

1. Jaguars – Trevor Lawrence QB Clemson
2. Jets – Zach Wilson QB BYU
3. 49ers – Mac Jones QB Bama
4. Falcons – Kyle Pitts TE UF
5. Bengals – Ja’Marr Chase WR LSU
6. Dolphins – Jaylen Waddle WR Bama
7. Lions – Penei Sewell OT Oregon
8. Panthers – Rashawn Slater OT Northwestern
9. Broncos – Trey Lance QB NDSU
11. Cowboys – Jaycee Horn CB USC
12. Eagles – DeVonta Smith WR Bama
13. Chargers – Alijah Vera-Tucker OG UCLA
14. Vikings – Jaelan Phillips EGE Miami
15. Patriots – Justin Fields QB Patriots
16. Cardinals – Kwity Paye EDGE Michigan

Now these picks won’t happen and there is a very obvious “Justin Fields to New England” narrative that they are trying to push. This mock comes off the rails at the 9th pick.

Trey Lance is not going to be there at 9th and I do not have high confidence that Denver will be trading up to select him (that means 100% it will happen now.) If I were a betting man I’d say that it is more likely that Denver trades out with New England and moves down to grab Owusu-Koramoah from Notre Dame. Vic Fangio likes smaller linebackers that can cover all over the field and Owusu fills that void. It is too much of a reach to grab him at 9 so Denver flips with New England in a trade that’s built to benefit both teams.

I also don’t see Jaelan Phillips going top 15 simply due to the medicals. Not that he isn’t worthy of the pick. Teams tend to shy away from players with medical history this high in the draft.

Other than that this draft is ok. What do you think? Is the mock draft guy going to drop another before the draft? We’ll see.
