Theathletic.com put out its 2021 mock draft, and has another Gophers player going to Green Bay.
(I included the mock first pick of the Vikings, too, as they were one slot after GB, meaning... they had a slightly better season???)
22. Green Bay Packers — *Rashod Bateman, WR, Minnesota
Averaging 20.3 yards per catch last season, Bateman was a cheat code with his dominance at the catch point. There are three Big Ten receivers in this mock, but it was Bateman who was named the conference’s top receiver last season.
23. Minnesota Vikings — Carlos Basham, edge, Wake Forest
“Boogie” Basham would have been a top-50 pick if he entered the 2020 NFL Draft, leading the team with 18.0 tackles for loss and 11.0 sacks in 2019. He softens the edge with his physical hands, and his relentless nature leads to production.
As it says above, there are three B1G WRs going in the first round of this mock draft. Purdue’s Rondale Moore goes 25th to New England, and OSU’s Chris Olave goes 28th to New Orleans.
Once again, this is a pay site, and probably not available to everyone, but here’s the link for those who subscribe:

This mock isn’t about accuracy, but rather it serves as a watchlist — 32 draft-eligible prospects who are already high on the NFL radar.
