Complete 7-round mock draft: Predicting every 2021 draft selection
By Andrew Falce
Draft picks 17-20
17) Las Vegas Raiders: Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, LB, Notre Dame
While linebacker isn’t the Raiders’ top need, a talent as rare as Owusu-Koramoah makes this defense even stronger. He can do a bit of everything, from stopping the run to making fantastic plays in coverage. He fits the bill of a versatile defender for the modern NFL.
18) Miami Dolphins: Rashod Bateman, WR, Minnesota
The Dolphins get their guy at receiver now after beefing up their line. Bateman is a physical talent with impressive athleticism. He should do some damage in the intermediate routes while the rest of the Dolphins’ receivers look to win deep.
19) Washington Football Team: Trey Lance, North Dakota St.
While the Football team has two players already competing for the starting spot, neither has the upside that Lance has. If he were to fall this far, he should be scooped up quickly here.
20) Chicago Bears: Christian Barmore, DT, Alabama
Unfortunately for the Bears, their quarterback gets drafted right before they can pick. As a result, they look at the remainder of their needs and opt to go for a tackle. The Bears need to beef up the interior o9f their defensive line and Barmore does just that.
