Miami Dolphins stay put in latest full NFL first round mock draft
By Pablo Rosero
The Patriots and other teams make much needed improvements in the first round
Building around Justin Herbert is the priority for the Chargers and after slightly missing Penei Sewell the team would happily take Slater. The Northwestern left tackle is arguably the second-best tackle in the draft and should be an immediate NFL contributor.
The Vikings defense fell off in 2020 compared to 2019. Adding Parsons, who is the best defender on the board, would help improve the team’s pass rush that may need to replace Danielle Hunter sooner than later.
A do-it-all linebacker, Collins is exactly the type of player that the Patriots add. He proved his ability as a tackler in 2019 posting a 100+ tackle season and proved it as a playmaker in 2020 posting four-plus turnovers, two touchdowns, and multiple sacks. Belichick would be able to play Collins in any linebacker spot.
An elite cover corner, Horn proved he was a lockdown corner during his time at South Carolina. While he needs to improve playing zone, the Cardinals will need to add a long-term replacement for Patrick Peterson. Horn at 16 should be considered a steal.
After completely unloading what seemed like their entire offensive line the Raiders will need to go after some solid big men. Alijah Vera-Tucker is a versatile offensive lineman who can play either guard or tackle.
