With the 2020 NFL Draft now in the books, it’s time for me to turn my attention to a year from now. The NFL recently announced that the 2021 draft will take place in Cleveland, Ohio, from April 29-May 1. And while you might not believe me, I couldn’t be more excited about it.
While the team-fits part of this 2021 NFL mock draft is guesswork at best, this is more an exercise in where we see these prospects at the moment, with positional value not taken into account in the way it usually would be at PFF. The draft order is based on the current Super Bowl gambling odds.
quote:
12. LOS ANGELES CHARGERS — OT ALEX LEATHERWOOD, ALABAMA
Leatherwood would have been among the top tackles in last year’s class had he declared, but he chose to return to Alabama. The way we saw certain tackles get pushed down, that could be the right decision with a big senior year. Leatherwood actually outperformed Jedrick Wills Jr. in pass protection last year with an 80.0 pass-blocking grade at only 10 pressures allowed all season.
quote:
14. ATLANTA FALCONS — WR DEVONTA SMITH, ALABAMA
It’s easy to see why Smith returned to the Crimson Tide despite a monster junior campaign that saw him rack up 1,256 yards. Listed at 6-foot-1, 175 pounds, Smith needs to put some serious muscle on his frame to get selected early next year. Even at that weight, he attacks the ball in the air far better than you’d expect, going 7-for-12 on contested catches last season.
quote:
16. CLEVELAND BROWNS — WR JAYLEN WADDLE, ALABAMA
Waddle hasn’t played much the past two seasons — only 729 snaps over that span — but he’s produced whenever he has been thrust in. On 40 targets last season, Waddle averaged 12.2 yards after the catch per reception and had a perfect 158.3 passer rating when targeted. He’s got NFL-level juice.
quote:
20. MINNESOTA VIKINGS — DI CHRISTIAN BARMORE, ALABAMA
There’s a good chance Barmore ends up even higher than this. We barely got to see him until Alabam’s final five games of last year, and then he averaged three pressures a game over that span. On 269 snaps, Barmore earned an 87.8 overall grade for the season.
quote:
22. BUFFALO BILLS — CB PATRICK SURTAIN II, ALABAMA
Surtain is another long Alabama corner at 6-foot-2 and 203 pounds. He’s been starting ever since he was a true freshman in 2018, and this past year allowed only 28 catches for 301 yards on 49 targets. If he’s anything like his father — a longtime Dolphins corner — he’ll be well worth this pick.
quote:
23. GREEN BAY PACKERS — LB DYLAN MOSES, ALABAMA
If Moses hadn’t torn his ACL last season, we probably would have seen him come off the board in this range last week. He’s explosive as can be, though we’d like to see a few more plays on the ball in coverage as he doesn’t have a single pass breakup in his career so far.

It's really gonna suck if guys like Barmore and Ray get drafted high and Bama only gets one real year of production out of them.

It would be great to break LSU’s and Ohio St’s current record of 14 players drafted and you gotta salute LSU for having 9 players go in the first three rounds. That is remarkable man. We probably would have tied or broken that record if all of our draft eligible juniors and red shirt sophomores would have declared for the 2020 draft but obviously I’m happy they didn’t all declare.

We had 10 players drafted in the first 3 rounds in the 2020 draft.

Not buying the Barmore hype.

I doubt Barmore belongs here. I’d love to be wrong.

Barmore and Jobe have both been mocked to go in the 1st round in some mocks. This is a big year for both and both have the talent, if they put it together this season.

Yeah I don't know if Barmore is going to live up to the hype or not, but just judging by his social media, he definitely has the mindset to be great, and it seems like he's been putting in a ton of off-season work. I know that you can't really go by what you see on social media, but he looked the part several times last season.

Same thing every year then guys don’t get picked. Not buying it.

Breaking draft records means too many Juniors are leaving the program. That is one record I would rather see in Baton Rouge. LSU lost 9 juniors to the draft. Bama lost 6 but frankly, I think 5 is more honest. I'm not sure that counting Terrell Lewis is fair. He was a 2016 recruit and has put in his 4 years. I was kinda surprised he actually stayed last season with his history of injuries.
