WR “Bigs” 2021 Bonanza
Pictured Above: Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson #12
If you are the GM of a team that is looking to acquire a big target WR this off-season, you have picked the right year.
Adding a big WR could make a good deal of sense for the Cardinals, particularly if Larry Fitzgerald retires or signs elsewhere in free agency.
Check out the 2021 UFA “Big Target” WR market (with PFF UFA ranks and projected salaries per annum):
Allen Robinson (CHI) - $21M -#3
Kenny Golladay (DET) - $21.5M - #4
Ju Ju Smith- Schuster (PIT) - $17M - #24
Corey Davis (TEN) - $16.5M -#25
This draft class is absolutely loaded at WR, with some projecting as many as 7 WR going within the first round. The consensus top 3 WR are Smith, Chase, Waddle, followed by Moore, Bateman, Toney,.

I have gotten these players on multiple different mock draft sites at these positions, so while I am not counting on them being available when I got them, I am hopeful. You cannot fix this team in one draft, but this would be a great start at a rebuild and potentially have enough pieces to trade up for a QB in the future if Hurts is not the answer.
If it would shake out like this I can see 4 to 5 starters coming from this draft with some potential high end backups who may having starting upside.
OMG do I need a Mock intervention! By ClayfromBklyn on Feb 26, 2021, 9:33pm EST +
So, I already had a problem with how much time I spend Mocking. But Fanspeak has just added a new feature that lets you
trade veteran players from the current roster, not just draft picks! I may never leave my house until April!!
Here was my first try:
Cut Players: Kevin Zeitler(then I re-signed him) -Levine Toilolo -Will Hernandez -David Mayo -Sam Beal -R.J. McIntosh -Devante Downs -C.J. Board -Corey Ballentine -Da Mari Scott -T.J. Brunson -Jaquarius Landrews
Felt bad about losing Will, but hey, I needed to free up cap space for some important moves.
