    Schulte’s March 7-round 2021 NFL Mock Draft

    2021 7-round NFL Mock Draft | Round Four

    106. Jacksonville Jaguars: Kenny Yeboah, TE, Ole Miss
    107. New York Jets: Patrick Jones II, EDGE, Pitt
    108. Atlanta Falcons: Jaelon Darden, WR, North Texas

    109. Houston Texans: Quinn Meinerz, OC, Wisconsin-Whitewater
    The Texans have been a gap-scheme offense for years, and I don’t see that changing with Tim Kelly staying as OC and Culley coming from Baltimore. The team cut Nick Martin, leaving the center spot wide open. Meinerz fits right in at home in that scheme with his power and bully mentality. Imposing his will on defensive linemen, Meinerz will quickly become a fan favorite in Houston.

    110. Washington Football Team (via CLE): DJ Daniel, CB, Georgia
    111. Cincinnati Bengals: Cade Johnson, WR, South Dakota State
    112. Detroit Lions: Ambry Thomas, CB, Michigan
    113. Baltimore Ravens (via CAR): Seth Williams, WR, Auburn

    114. Denver Broncos: Marvin Wilson, DT, Florida State
    The Broncos take some hits along the defensive line in free agency. Adding another rotational lineman with pass-rushing upside in Marvin Wilson would help lessen some key players’ departures up front.

    Round Four | Picks 115-128

    115. Dallas Cowboys: Tyree Gillespie, S, Missouri
    116. New York Giants: Hamilcar Rashed Jr., EDGE, Oregon State
    117. San Francisco 49ers: Kenneth Gainwell, RB, Memphis
    118. Los Angeles Chargers: Chazz Surratt, LB, North Carolina
    119. Minnesota Vikings: Rashad Weaver, EDGE, Pitt

    120. Cleveland Browns (via MIA)*: Tyler Shelvin, DT, LSU
    Trade! The Cleveland Browns trade LB Sione Takitaki and a 2022 fifth-round pick to the Miami Dolphins in exchange for pick 120 and a 2022 sixth-round pick

    This wasn’t in the original draft(s) of this 7-round 2021 NFL Mock Draft. However, after the Dolphins’ release of Kyle Van Noy, another EDGE/LB spot opened up on their roster. Cleveland’s looking to completely reform their defense, and Takitaki is an odd man out. However, he showed the ability in college to play the roles that the Flores’ defense asks of those hybrid linebacker types. The Dolphins get a cheap, young linebacker and move up in next year’s draft.

    121. Las Vegas Raiders: Sage Surratt, WR, Wake Forest
    122. Houston Texans: Shakur Brown, CB, Michigan State
    123. Miami Dolphins: Jamien Sherwood, S, Auburn
    124. Washington Football Team: Shaka Toney, EDGE, Penn State
    125. Minnesota Vikings: Ihmir Smith-Marsette, WR, Iowa
    126. Tennessee Titans: Tre’ McKitty, TE, Georgia
    127. Indianapolis Colts: Brady Christensen, OT, BYU

    128. Pittsburgh Steelers: Rhamondre Stevenson, RB, Oklahoma
    The Steelers and James Conner are likely parting ways in free agency, creating a void at running back. Benny Snell and Anthony McFarland are more complementary backs than anything. Stevenson adds a massive, powerful back with great third-down ability in pass protection and as a receiver.

    Round 4 | Picks 129-136

    129. Seattle Seahawks: Trey Sermon, RB, Ohio State
    130. Jacksonville Jaguars: Marquez Stevenson, WR, Houston
    131. Carolina Panthers (via BAL): Monty Rice, LB, Georgia
    132. Cleveland Browns: Adetokunbo Ogundeji, DL, Notre Dame
    133. New Orleans Saints: Kellen Mond, QB, Texas A&M
    134. Minnesota Vikings: Aaron Banks, OG, Notre Dame
    135. Green Bay Packers: Royce Newman, OL, Ole Miss

    136. Kansas City Chiefs: Drake Jackson, OC, Kentucky
    With Austin Reiter set to be a free agent and already 30 years old, the Chiefs should think about finding his replacement in the middle. Drake Jackson is a technically-refined center with good quickness and play strength. He’ll push to start early on in Kansas City’s zone-run scheme.

    Round 4 | Picks 137-145

    137. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Osa Odighizuwa, DT, UCLA
    138. Dallas Cowboys: Dazz Newsome, WR, North Carolina
    139. New England Patriots: Austin Watkins, WR, UAB
    140. Los Angeles Rams: Divine Deablo, S, Virginia Tech
    141. Pittsburgh Steelers: Anthony Schwartz, WR, Auburn
    142. Green Bay Packers: Cam Sample, DL, Tulane
    143. Dallas Cowboys (via MIN)*: Robert Rochell, CB, Central Arkansas
    144. Cleveland Browns (via KC)*: Whop Philyor, WR, Indiana

    145. Las Vegas Raiders (via NE)*: James Wiggins, S, Cincinnati
    Trade! The New England Patriots trade pick 145 to the Las Vegas Raiders for QB Marcus Mariota.

    New England gets its quarterback for the next season, and a fourth-round pick sounds about right for Mariota’s value. The Raiders get a high-energy, high-impact player at safety who immediately upgrades their coverage in the secondary. Wiggins made the “Feldman’s Freak” list several times, and he’s an instinctual playmaker in the secondary.
