Final Ebony Bird 2021 NFL Draft mock: Ravens get instant impact guys
21. Indianapolis Colts: Kwity Paye, EDGE, Michigan
The Colts are a very good roster with few true needs, but the team has been retooling its pass rush this offseason. Paye feels like a solid pick here for Indianapolis and may end up being the best edge rusher from the 2021 NFL Draft when it’s all said and done.
22. Tennessee Titans: Azeez Ojulari, EDGE, Georgia
If there’s one thing the Titans can’t seem to get right it’s its pass rush. Ojulari is a good cure for that fatal flaw to the team and will put up numbers that Jadeveon Clowney failed to do in 2020.
23. New York Jets: Caleb Farley, CB, Virginia Tech
Farley may be the most gifted cornerback in the 2021 NFL Draft, but some serious back injuries will push him down the board and potentially out of day one of the draft. However, the Jets desperately need cover guys and cannot ignore the amazing value of grabbing Farley at 23 overall.
24. Pittsburgh Steelers: Najee Harris, RB, Alabama
This pick feels inevitable despite running back feeling like a luxury, but adding Harris to the Steelers feels like a match made in heaven. Harris is one of the best running back prospects of the last few years even if he isn’t getting top-five buzz. Harris runs hard, catches the ball well, and scores touchdowns. What else can you ask for?
