Everyone has their “my guys” at every position in the NFL Draft. A lot of people have varying opinions on who they choose for their linebacker in this category. Monty Rice has been mentioned in this regard by some people. The lack of a three-down skillset for the Bulldogs has raised some questions about him, but many have labeled him as a steal in the 2021 class.
In a time where it seems as if the Texans can’t do anything right, let’s break down what picks they should make if they want to improve their team in this month’s draft.
Jalen Camp is an underrated prospect coming out as a redshirt senior for the 2021 draft. He boasts elite athleticism for being 226 lbs, and smooth movement skills making him deceptively fast and agile. His best attribute is his hands, making difficult catches look relatively easy.
Ohio State has sent a plethora of linebackers to the NFL since 2000. The trend continues once again this year as the Buckeyes have four linebackers eligible for the draft. Pete Werner played in many roles at Ohio State and will likely be the second of the four linebackers taken in just a few short weeks.
In two short weeks, the 2021 NFL Draft will finally be here. After months of scouting reports and mock drafts, the real thing will have arrived. However, these next two weeks are going to feel like two months.
The quarterback and number one receiver share a special bond. That is what happened this year at BYU with Zach Wilson and Dax Milne. Milne burst onto the scene this year, catching 70 passes for 1,188 yards and eight touchdowns. With Wilson declaring for the draft, Milne followed in hopes that his one year of outstanding production would shoot him up draft boards.
Mike Zimmer and Rick Spielman have 10 picks in the 2021 NFL draft, beginning with the 14th-overall selection, to fix some glaring weaknesses on the Minnesota Vikings’ roster. Most of those picks come from trades, with the mid-season deal to send Yannick Ngakoue to the Baltimore Ravens netting a third-round choice.
Enjoying a productive season for the Ohio State Buckeyes in his lone season with the team after transferring from the University of Oklahoma, Trey Sermon possesses the makeup and build to be a productive rusher at the NFL level.
The New York Jets own the second overall selection in this month’s NFL Draft following a 2-14 season. They also own the 23rd selection following their trade of Jamaal Adams to the Seattle Seahawks.
The NFL Draft is half immediate impact and half upside and future relevance. A lot of times, general managers will take a chance on a raw player with not a lot of experience. Another linebacker in this fold is Cameron McGrone. McGrone has only played in 19 games and only started 15 during his two years at Michigan.
Protecting Patrick Mahomes was the Kansas City Chiefs’ priority entering 2021 NFL free agency. Andy Reid had seen the franchise take enough bumps when Mahomes was bludgeoned by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers pass rush in Super Bowl LV. Reid and general manager Brett Veach acted once the veteran market opened.
The New York Giants surprised many by going on a huge spending spree in free agency. The team signed big-name players at positions of need, with Leonard Williams, Kenny Golladay, and Adoree’ Jackson all getting multi-year deals. The moves did come at quite a price, as the Giants doled out approximately $121 million in new contract guarantees. The length of these contracts is confounding, considering most other teams were content giving shorter “prove it” deals after the salary cap went backward in 2021.
