Cleveland Browns incredibly fortunate 2021 NFL mock draft at Week 15

Another likely first-rounder, Nick Bolton is as technically sound a linebacker as you’ll find. He’s a well-built 6-0, 230 pounds and is a true thumper in the middle. He possesses excellent run fit instincts and is rarely out of position. He’s also capable in coverage. Bolton at MIKE would allow Parsons to roam around at WILL, taking advantage of his elite athletic tools. Having two great run-stoppers and capable coverage defenders at LB would open up many more options in the secondary. Speed and versatility are what this front office values and Bolton would go a long way to help with that.

Andrew Billings will provide some much-needed reinforcement in the middle of the defensive line next season, but the group will need more, especially if Larry Ogunjobi and/or Sheldon Richardson aren’t retained. Levi Onwuzurike, a mainstay in these weekly mocks, is inconsistent but possesses truly elite explosiveness.

He has the potential to become an extremely disruptive player; think Ogunjobi’s flashes but on a more frequent basis. He’d step into a situation where he wouldn’t have to start right away, and can be rotated in situationally to keep everyone fresh. He’d be a great value in the third round based on talent alone, so getting him in the late fourth here is a steal.
