With the 133rd pick, the New Orleans Saints select JAIME NEWMAN, QUARTERBACK, WAKE FOREST.
Positives: Nice-sized pocket passer with an undeveloped game. Patient, buys as much time as necessary for receivers and stands strong against the rush. Possesses a compact throwing motion, a live arm, and throws tight spirals with speed. Displays a sense of timing on throws and does not have receivers waiting for the ball to arrive.
Natural-looking off the safety, spreads the ball around and uses all his targets. Remains poised as the pocket collapses around him, shows no sense of worry, and is quick bouncing it to the outside. Loses nothing throwing on the run and easily gets the ball downfield. Puts touch on throws and delivers a catchable ball. Effectively led the Wake Forest offense in 2019.
Negatives: Tends to stare down the primary target and is late moving his eyes from receivers. Holds the ball a little too long and must hasten his decision-making. Struggles with his accuracy as well as pass placement and can be all over the place with throws.
Analysis: Newman possesses the physical skills to play in the NFL but needs a lot of work on the intangibles and details of the quarterback position. He started off hot during the first day of Senior Bowl practices, then he quickly fizzled out and looked like a quarterback who had not played football in more than a year. Newman is a high-upside prospect but needs time and proper coaching to meet his incredible upside.
@Falb7 and the Vikings are on the clock.

With the 134th pick in the 2021 RCF Mock Draft, the Minnesota Vikings select: Justin Hilliard, LB, Ohio State
Height: 6’4
Weight: 229
Analysis: Hilliard, the lone five-star prospect in Ohio State’s stacked 2015 class out of St. Xavier in Cincinnati (included Denzel Ward, Joe Burrow), once seemed destined to be the next great linebacker in Buckeyes history. However several injuries and forced medical redshirts stunted his ascension in the rare 6 years at Ohio State. The Vikings take a gamble on pure talent and add further depth to their linebacker core with a quite gifted player as well as versatile special teams player. Despite the history of injuries including multiple bicep tears, Hilliard put up an impressive 27 bench reps at the Buckeyes’ pro day.
Dane Brugler, The Athletic:
“STRENGTHS: Plays with his feet on fire and an active mentality...his play speed is always at full charge...trusts his eyes to trigger and go, playing in front and avoiding blockers in space...displays the loose, change-of-direction skills to turn and cover backs or tight ends...fights for positioning in coverage to disrupt passing lanes or create turnovers...experienced and productive on special teams coverages after having played 732 snaps...outstanding compete skills (he had three fumble recoveries last season)...voted a senior captain and there are more phone numbers on his reference sheet than a phone book...commendable physical and mental toughness after working his way back from several major injuries...played at a high level as a senior when given his opportunities.
... He is a twitchy mover in space with the trigger to unlock and go in a flash, finishing with a closing burst that surprises the ball carrier. ... he has unquestioned NFL talent, intangibles and determination tailor-made for the next level.”
Vikings haul: T Orlando Brown (acquired from BAL), S Trevon Moehrig, QB Kyle Trask, LB Cameron McGrone, WR Tutu Atwell, LB Justin Hilliard
Washington and @Jordan are on the clock.

With the 135th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Washington Football team selects Shemar Jean-Charles, CB, Appalachian State
Jean-Charles is coming off a dominant season. He was targeted 52 times, allowed 17 catches, and made 18 plays on the ball (interception or knocking it away from the target). He is a raw prospect and slightly undersized, but his production warrants being picked. We expect him to be our slot corner in 2022.
Strengths:
-Good at maintaining balance and using his body to get into good positions.
-Elite production. Allowed a 32.7% catch rate, a 50.0 passer rating, was targeted on only 14.2% of snaps, and 18 pass breakups+interceptions in 2020.
-Good in the middle of the field. Was targeted 19 times in 2020 in the middle of the field and allowed only 4 completions.
-Good deep. Was targeted 15 times in 2020 and allowed only 2 completions.
Weaknesses:
-Size. He is 5'11 and 184 lbs and 30 7/8 arm length.
-Fairly slow. Ran a 4.5 40. Probably is a slot-only player.
-Not super strong, either. Bench pressed a 19.
-Penalty-prone. Gave up 11 penalties as a starter in college.
-Lack of competition
Overall, while the athletic weaknesses are clear, we believe Jean-Charles will learn from coaching and become a good nickel/slot corner in the NFL.

With the 136th pick the Kansas City Chiefs select: Sadarius Hutcherson
Hutcherson made an immediate impact on the Gamecocks program despite not getting on the field his first year in Columbia, winning the Co-Offensive Scout Team Award for his work in practice. Hutcherson played in 10 games the next season, stepping in for injured starters in four games late in the year. He started all 12 games in 2018 (11 at right guard, one at left guard) and 2019 (11 at left tackle, one at left guard) for South Carolina. He stuck at left guard for all 10 games in 2020.
Overview
Hutcherson has good size, can push the weight pile around and will post an impressive vertical leap for a guard, but there should be concerns about his functional football movements. He's good at mauling what is in front of him. He could get even better at it if he improves his hands and finds a little more bend at the point of attack. However, the tape is full of plays where his body control through contact, in space and in pass protection creates significant issues against often average competition across from him. Ultimately, Hutcherson is a phone booth fighter who can fit with inside zone and gap schemes but his success rate as both a run and pass blocker should be in question.
Strengths:
Tampa Bay and @TopGun are on the clock.

Strengths:
- Starting experience at both guard spots.
- Famous for weight room exploits and explosive hips.
- Added almost 50 pounds since coming in as developmental prospect.
- Brute strength to maul and prevent defender from crossing his face.
- Can catch, run and drive defender into the dirt on angle blocks.
- Punch is pedestrian but flashes violent potential.
- Rushers will stall out if they try to run through him.
- Mass and enough ankle flexion for sudden anchor drop when needed.
- Hands are small and arms are a little short.
- Experienced as pulling guard but very average getting up and out.
- Stiff lower half creates severe impediments.
- Plays too tall to maintain balance through contact.
- Feet stall out through contact, leaving him off-balance.
- Struggles gathering weight and connecting against moving targets.
- Pass pro mirror could be ongoing issue.
- Must trust hand resets to regain his positioning.
- Can't muster reactive athleticism to recover when beaten.
Tampa Bay and @TopGun are on the clock.

With the 137th Overall Pick in the 2021 RealCavsFans Mock Draft, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers select:
Jaylon Moore - OL - Western Michigan
Reasoning: With a strong performance at the Senior Bowl, Moore showed he has the strength and athleticism to compete on the line in the NFL. Moore has the size and athleticism to play anywhere along the line, although I think he probably ends up as a guard or right tackle. He should be able to spend time developing behind a cohesive starting unit for at least his rookie season before he would be expected to take meaningful snaps. I picked him because I thought he was the best available lineman at this spot, but with his experience in the ZBS in college, he most likely gets snatched up by a team that runs a similar scheme.
Measurements:
Height: 6' 4"
Weight: 311 lbs
Wingspan: 82″
Arms: 33 3/8″
Hands: 11″
Moore was a three year starter at LT for the WMU Broncos in a zone blocking scheme. During his senior season, the line gave up an average of 1.17 sacks per game, good for 10th in the country.
Strengths (per NFL.com)
The Draft Network: A fluid mover in pass protection, he has easy movement skills in and out of his pass sets. As a run blocker, he comes out of the starting blocks with plenty of aggression. He's an adequate option in the run game, but his motor tends to quickly fade. Sustaining that demeanor throughout blocks is another step to unlock in his development. An athletic tackle, he excels in zone-based blocking schemes, but has the power to run gap scheme runs in spots. His length comes into play in many areas, but his balance can be an issue as he leads with his head a lot into blocks. Resulting in his falling forward often, his technique with lunging into blocks will need to be corrected. An enticing project to work with, Moore will need time to correct his blocking technique and also his habit of leading with all of his weight forward at the point of attack.
@SuperSurge and the Dallas Cowboys are on the clock.

Strengths (per NFL.com)
- Rockets out of stance as run and pass blocker.
- Heavy hands with pinpoint placement when he's first.
- Possesses massive 11-inch hands to clamp into opponent's frame.
- Can make all the move blocks on play-side and back-side.
- Smart player with solid technique and feel for angles.
- Centers up blocks and runs feet to secure.

The Cowboys select:
I'm on mobile and having trouble pulling up who's next.
WR JAELON DARDEN, NORTH TEXAS
No one wants to be the team that drafted the 174-pound receiver from North Texas early on only for him to not translate in the NFL. All that means is some team is getting a heck of a value. Darden showed up 20 pounds lighter this season and remade his body into the explosive jitterbug he is today. He can and did take it to the house from anywhere, racking up 19 touchdowns in 2020 for the Mean Green. He’s a perfect explosive, modern slot weapon.I'm on mobile and having trouble pulling up who's next.

With the 139th pick in the 2021 RCF Mock Draft, the New England Patriots select...
DEONTE BROWN
OFFENSIVE GUARD
ALABAMA
From Dane Brugler: A three-year starter at Alabama, Brown started at right guard in offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian’s scheme, helping the Tide take home the Joe Moore Award as college football’s top offensive line in 2020. After battling weight issues and inconsistency when he first arrived in Tuscaloosa, he continued to get better and better over the last three seasons, including a standout performance vs. Auburn’s Derrick Brown in 2019 and consistent high-level play in 2020. A massive blocker, Brown is exceptionally powerful with freaky feats in the weight room that also translate to the football field (Nick Saban: “He’s probably the most powerful, explosive guy that we have on the whole offensive line.”). He didn’t allow a sack the last three seasons, but gap quickness throws off his timing. Overall, Brown moves heavy and lacks great recovery quickness, but he boasts an instant anchor and the upper-body explosion to displace defenders. He won’t be a fit for every scheme, but he flashes Gabe Jackson-like potential if he trusts his technique and vision vs. NFL speed.
From Lance Zierlein: A starting guard for the better part of three seasons, Brown is wide, strong and built low to the ground with a natural leverage advantage. While he shines as an in-line power blocker, teams might also take note of his solid technique and reactive quickness. He worked extremely well with center Landon Dickerson on double teams and twists. His lack of length and physical traits will turn some teams off, as will his weight and body type. He's steady and powerful, though. Brown has the potential to become a starter for a power-based rushing team that doesn't adhere to strict traits standards.
Why: Look at this fucking guy! He's huge!
15. MAC JONES, QB, Alabama
46. NICK BOLTON, LB, Missouri
96. AMON-RA ST. BROWN, WR, USC

With #140, the Pittsburgh Steelers select...
KARY VINCENT JR., CB, LSU
Why? Speed, big plays, fit.
Why'd he fall? Size. Dude is Dan Gilbert small. And, he opted out in 2020.
He's a similar profile to recent FA loss, Mike Hilton and he should be able to contribute in the slot.
Next up, I think is @WellYouNeednt

With the 142nd pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Washington Football Team selects Chris Brown, S/CB, Texas
Adding more to the weak secondary depth, Chris Brown is perhaps the most versatile coverage player remaining that we could add in this position. In 2020, Brown played 261 snaps at free safety, 151 snaps at box safety, 71 snaps at slot corner, and then 3 snaps at other positions. Given all of those snaps, Brown only allowed 11 catches from 22 targets with one interception and four pass breakups. The biggest reason he has fallen to the end of the fourth is that he is small for the position (191 lbs), does not tackle well at all, struggles to cover tight ends, and does not have long end speed. More than likely he is a NCB or free safety in the NFL, but Brown won't ever be able to play as a substitute linebacker or outside corner.
PROs:
-Outstanding coverage player. Already plays in the secondary at an NFL level.
-Versatile. Will be able to slot in anywhere on passing down snaps.
-Long arms --> 32 3/8-inches
-Overall, really strong athlete.
CONs:
-Light, only 191 lbs
-Bad tackler. His average depth of run tackle was 12.9 yards passed the line of scrimmage and he misses 13.2% of tackles. This is caused by a mix of poor weight/size and not tackling with his head up. Moves head down early and this results in lots of misses.
-His top-end speed is not high so he will probably struggle to play on the outside or in the slot if the opposing receiver is a tight end or Kelce.
-For as versatile as he is, he is probably only going to be able to be a NCB or pass-down specialist in the secondary.

With the 143rd pick in the 2021 RCF Mock Draft, the Minnesota Vikings select: David Moore, G, Grambling State
Height: 6’1
Weight: 350
Analysis:
With his massive frame and outstanding ability to finish blocks, Moore profiles as a future NFL starter at G or C. He shined at the Senior Bowl, earning the top offensive lineman honor for the American team. Technique will be an area of emphasis as he enters the league, but Moore undoubtedly possesses a number of unteachable traits and physical gifts that appeal to Minnesota who will continue to be a run-first team going forward.
Dane Brugler of The Athletic:
“BACKGROUND: David “Dave” Moore Jr. grew up in Little Rock and played a little bit of youth football, but it wasn’t his focus. He returned to the sport as a junior at McClellan High School and played on both sides of the ball. As a senior, Moore started at defensive end and bounced between both guard spots on offense.
A no-star recruit out of high school, Moore was late to the game in high school and was lightly recruited. Grambling State (about three hours south of Little Rock) took notice and signed him to the 2016 recruiting class. However, he was ineligible due to issues with his transcripts and he wasn’t allowed to practice with the team, officially taking a redshirt year in 2016. After starting as a sophomore and junior, Moore put himself on the NFL radar and elected to enter the 2021 NFL Draft after the fall college football season was canceled. He graduated with a degree in criminal justice (May 2020). Moore accepted his invitation to the 2021 Senior Bowl.
STRENGTHS: Unique body type, with short stature but good length and massive wingspan...impressively carries his 350 pounds...above-average joint flexibility and foot quickness...uses his naturally low pads to leverage the point of attack...explosive punch and recoil to lock out and maintain spacing at contact...loads power in his hands and unleashes on defenders and down blocks...highly aggressive and looks to finish defenders to the ground...stays balanced in space with the easy mobility to execute downfield/second-level blocks...his work ethic continues to get better...saw practice reps at center during Senior Bowl week.”
Vikings haul: T Orlando Brown (acquired from BAL), S Trevon Moehrig, QB Kyle Trask, LB Cameron McGrone, WR Tutu Atwell, LB Justin Hilliard, G David Moore

Grambling State (about three hours south of Little Rock) took notice and signed him to the 2016 recruiting class. However, he was ineligible due to issues with his transcripts and he wasn’t allowed to practice with the team, officially taking a redshirt year in 2016. After starting as a sophomore and junior, Moore put himself on the NFL radar and elected to enter the 2021 NFL Draft after the fall college football season was canceled. He graduated with a degree in criminal justice (May 2020). Moore accepted his invitation to the 2021 Senior Bowl.
STRENGTHS: Unique body type, with short stature but good length and massive wingspan...impressively carries his 350 pounds...above-average joint flexibility and foot quickness...uses his naturally low pads to leverage the point of attack...explosive punch and recoil to lock out and maintain spacing at contact...loads power in his hands and unleashes on defenders and down blocks...highly aggressive and looks to finish defenders to the ground...stays balanced in space with the easy mobility to execute downfield/second-level blocks...his work ethic continues to get better...saw practice reps at center during Senior Bowl week.”
Vikings haul: T Orlando Brown (acquired from BAL), S Trevon Moehrig, QB Kyle Trask, LB Cameron McGrone, WR Tutu Atwell, LB Justin Hilliard, G David Moore

With the 144th pick the AFC champion Chiefs select: Trey Sermon RB from THE Ohio State University.
- Height: 6’0 1/4″
- Weight: 213 pounds
- Wingspan: 79″
- Arm: 32″
- Hand: 9 1/2″
- Trey Sermon is a fairly solid running back prospect in the NFL Draft. Sermon offers good leg churn on top of his foundational traits, and he also brings ample ball security to the NFL. It’s only a supplementary trait because it’s somewhat volatile, but Sermon did not fumble the football on 423 collegiate carries.
- Averaged 6.1 yards per attempt for his career.
Why this player in this spot? Kansas City gets a versatile RB who put up big numbers in big games. Already stacked with a talented offense, KC adds a player that will fit nicely into that offense.
- Jacksonville Jaguars @AZ_ is on the clock to start round 5.

With the 145th Overall Pick in the 2021 RealCavsFans Mock Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars select:
Rodarius Williams - CB - Oklahoma St.
Rodarius Williams is the older brother of Cleveland Browns cornerback Greedy Williams. He has managed to stay healthy since taking over the starting spot as a redshirt freshman. Understanding how to use his length to his advantage, Williams is very aggressive with his technique in off-man coverage. Mixing up his approach quite a bit, he incorporates a blend of off-coverage, but he loves to surprise wideouts by executing a one-hand jam. His length causes issues for targets and it’s a nuisance to deal with throughout the duration of games. Smooth in and out of his breaks, he remains low in his pedal but can jab-step hard into the ground to get out of his breaks quickly when matching the movements of targets. His opportunities with playing press-man coverage were spread out, but because of the uptempo passing offenses, he was afforded chances with playing off coverage. Because of the fear of vertical threats, he was surprised to see routes thrown in the underneath areas. When they were thrown in those areas, he was reluctant to react quickly to them due to the fear of falling victim to double moves or multi-level concepts. He often remained in a slow pedal, but his reactions became extremely slow due to these types of predicaments.
