The first round of the 2021 NFL Draft was one of the most entertaining in recent memory. Many superstars fell and extreme reaches were flying
With preseason comparisons like Quinnen Williams, there was a lot of early hype on Christian Barmore. Although his regular season play did not live up to its expectations, Barmore demonstrated why the comparisons were valid in the bowl games and in the championship.
Syracuse had an amazing secondary last year. Along with Ifeatu Melifonwu and Andre Cisco was unsung hero Trill Williams. Playing primarily slot cornerback for the Orange might limit his value, but his presence on the field was impactful.
This tight end class is topped with some amazing young talent. Among true Juniors like Kyle Pitts, Pat Freiermuth, and Brevin Jordan there is Redshirt Sophomore Tommy Tremble. Following in the footsteps of “Mapletron” Chase Claypool is no easy task. There is a lot that comes with the title of tight end at Notre Dame. Tremble has been labeled as the best blocking tight end in this class. At his size, hopefully, he can receive the ball as well. Is Tremble just a blocking tight end? Let’s find out.
Trey Smith has been one of the premier offensive linemen since high school. The former five-star recruit has had a consistently solid tenure at the University of Tennessee. Everything appears to be there—the size, the power, the dominance—so the real question remains: is it worth taking a shot, given Smith’s medical record? Let’s find out.
Javian Hawkins is one of the most electric prospects in this draft. It might be hard to find him on the field due to his stature and insane speed, but the defense surely knows where he is at at all times. Well, if they do not, then six points better be put up on the board already.
When it seemed like all of the top tackle talents for the 2021 NFL Draft were known, Stone Forsythe came onto the scene. He is a very late riser into the late day-two conversation, jumping ahead on some boards of Walker Little and James Hudson.
Going from the best team in the FCS to the former best team in the FBS, Jabril Cox has a respectable background. NFL teams will certainly take notice of his ability to adapt and lift up a locker room. The mentality is there, but is the talent worth anything higher than a late day two selection?
While the Heisman trophy seemed to be a battle consisting of Mac Jones and DeVonta Smith, a crucial name just a few spots behind was Najee Harris. The star running back led the ground attack of the most powerful offense college may have ever seen.
The Rams are all in. Sending starting quarterback Jared Goff along with two first-round picks for Matthew Stafford makes that quite clear.
After lighting the American Athletic Conference on fire during his redshirt freshman year, Kenneth Gainwell has been on everyone’s radar. Hailing from one of the most underrated running back factories, Memphis, there is a lot to like with this prospect.
Joe Tryon has been a late riser up many draft boards, even into first-round consideration. When a player takes off a whole year after being considered underdeveloped and still garners that consideration, it is hard to avert interest elsewhere. Are the rumors correct that Tryon is a first-rounder?
