We’ve hit the point of the draft season where we look for those sleeper players. Brad Hawkins is one of these guys. While the Michigan defense is producing players like Aidan Hutchinson, David Ojabo, and Daxton Hill, Hawkins was the glue of this unit.
It’s been a rollercoaster of a career for Alabama’s John Metchie. Metchie has been overshadowed by transfer Jameson Williams and has slightly seen his stock drop.
With different names sprouting up around draft circles every week, very few have been consistent in the spot they are in. Kyle Hamilton, however, has it a bit differently. Hamilton has been regarded as a top player in this draft class since he started getting minutes at Notre Dame it seems.
This year’s cornerback class is absolutely loaded.
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.
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.
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.
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.
John Bates has the potential to make it as a classic ‘Y’ tight end or H-Back at the next level, provided teams aren’t fooled by his lack of production at Boise State. He’s got late-round steal potential for an NFL franchise ready to coach up a prospect.
