2021 NFL mock draft 5.0: First-round pick projections after divisional round

Then there were four.

The 2020 NFL season heads to Championship Weekend with the Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills, Green Bay Packers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers still standing and looking toward Super Bowl LV in Tampa Bay.

With the divisional round wrapped up, the 2021 NFL Draft comes further into focus.

Meanwhile, three of the NFL's coaching vacancies have been filled. Urban Meyer's arrival in Jacksonville shouldn't change anything atop the draft. Robert Saleh heading to New York to lead the Jets just might, depending on his view of Sam Darnold.

The 49ers have a few areas they can address with the No. 12 pick. It seems unlikely they will use that pick on a quarterback, leaving cornerback, offensive lineman and edge rusher as the most likely options.

As for the Raiders, Jon Gruden should focus on improving one side of the ball and it's not the one he calls the plays for.

With the NFL's final four set and a few notable coaching vacancies filled, it's time for our fifth mock draft. My colleague Dalton Johnson and I usually split the duties, but you're stuck with me for this edition. (Don't worry, Dalton will return.)

Let's get to the picks.
