Three-Round 2021 NFL Mock Draft: NFC South

The NFC South has produced some of the NFL's top teams over the past decade, from the 2015 Panthers to the 2016 Falcons to the 2017-2020 Saints to the 2020 Buccaneers, but some of those franchises have fallen on hard times recently.

The Saints are starting fresh after almost two decades of Drew Brees but still have a veteran cast of elite characters. The Buccaneers are Super Bowl champs and barely have any holes to fill.

Justin Fields is one of the most talked-about prospects in the 2021 NFL Draft, in part because the hype surrounding Mac Jones and his reported rise up draft boards comes with a corresponding slide in hype for the Ohio State product.

2021 NFL Mock Draft: New England Patriots trade up for QB Mac Jones, Cincinnati Bengals take WR Ja'Marr Chase

A few weeks removed from a few blockbuster trades involving first-round draft picks, we have now all grown comfortable with the world where the San Francisco 49ers and Kyle Shanahan own the No. 3 overall selection — the first spot in the 2021 NFL Draft where some uncertainty exists. We assume those first two picks are largely set in stone and that the real chaos unfolds from that point onward. So let’s put together a potential scenario in the form of my first 2021 NFL mock draft. Read more…

The 2020 NFL season is working its way closer to Tampa and Super Bowl LV, but as the rest of the league turns its attention to the offseason, there is just enough time left to take stock of the regular season that was and hand out some PFF awards.

Nothing that happens in the playoffs can change the dynamic for the following accolades,  which compare — as much as possible — the level playing field of 16 regular-season games for everybody.
