It’s NFL mock draft season! No matter where you go on the world wide web, there’s a good chance you’ll see multiple mocks ahead of the 2021 NFL Draft. So, rather than focusing on the norm, this first-round mock draft will be based on fantasy needs alone. That means there won’t be any defensive players (apologizes to the IDP fans) but will instead include offensive skill positions and offensive linemen alone. Will all the players in this mock draft be valued as first-round selections? Nope, but then again, you never know for sure in the National Football League, right? With most of the top free agents gone, it’s time to put in an update on my Version 1.0 mock draft that I did earlier in the offseason. As you’ll see, there’s plenty of changes.
