Originally billed as a 218 lb back, Elijah Mitchell came into his pro day at 201 lbs – a significant difference as a running back. The weight will make some teams question if he can carry a full workload. However, the lite production and athletic testing show he has the potential to do so.
The Crimson Tide has been pumping out offensive lineman lately. Deonte Brown is one of three linemen expected to go in the first two days of this year’s draft from Alabama.
David Moore had scouts drooling when he dominated at the Senior Bowl back in January. Those in attendance saw a massive interior offensive lineman who can thrive in both pass protection and the running game from guard or center. Moore is raw and inexperienced, but his core traits and obvious upside make him a potential steal in the middle rounds of the 2021 NFL draft.
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.
In a star-studded cornerback class with Jaycee Horn, Patrick Surtain, and Caleb Farley, Paulson Adebo is an underrated name that could be up there with the best of the best. Before opting out in 2020, Adebo had some serious first-round draft talk during last year’s offseason.
Stanford’s star receiver in the 2020-21 season, Simi Fehoko will likely hear his name called during the 2021 NFL Draft. Fehoko is an athletic receiver with a lot of potential due to his athleticism. Let’s break down his skillset.
Perhaps one of the biggest draft sleepers, Jacob Harris has significant size and speed. At 6’5” with a monstrous wingspan he has the tools to become a great receiver in the league.
Derrick Barnes kept teams guessing during a college career where he played multiple roles at Purdue. That same versatility will make Barnes a valuable Day 3 pick in the 2021 NFL draft. His ability to play both inside and outside linebacker and rush off the edge will surely earn him some interest. The team that takes a chance will get a flexible playmaker who knows how to wreck both phases of an offense.
The 2021 NFL Draft class lacks the star power the previous class had. However, one name not getting enough attention is Virginia Tech’s Khalil Herbert.
The NFL is big on players that have versatility. The safety class has a lot of players that are in this mold. One player not getting enough attention in this class is San Diego State’s Tariq Thompson. He was a four-year starter at his time at San Diego State and specialized in the Warrior position that SDSU employs. Thompson is a very versatile prospect that excels in his IQ and continuous turnover production.
Alex Leatherwood is an extremely experienced offensive lineman who has been at the forefront of some controversy this draft cycle. The debate on him is whether or not he should be making a switch from guard to tackle once in the NFL.
Darius Stills has a natural flair as an inside pass-rusher that will appeal to teams on Day 3 of the 2021 NFL Draft.
