With names like Brian Urlacher being thrown around, Zaven Collins has attracted the attention of any and every football analyst. His size combined with his ability to play both the run and pass well makes Collins one of the most enticing prospects in this year’s draft. Is it too good to be true? Some factors say so, but only time will tell on the blue-chip prospect out of Tulsa.
Is Pat Freiermuth the next Rob Gronkowski? Maybe. With flashes of insane strength, power, and blocking, he has the tools to develop into a franchise tight end. However, these flashes overshadow the dull tape behind it, leaving teams and scouts wondering: who is Freiermuth, the next Gronk, or the next bust?
Nick Bolton brings the heat when it comes to highlights: big hits, flying ankle tackles, and more. His unbelievable hit power will keep audiences, not to mention players, always on the lookout for his next tackle attempt. With some major red flags in his tackling consistency, there are unfortunately some unforgettable negatives that keep him out of contention from being a top-tier linebacker. Fortunately for Bolton, the 2021 NFL Draft lacks talent at the top of the linebacker class. He nicely slots in as a guaranteed top five, if not top three linebackers in this year’s class.
The Reese’s Senior Bowl is the first step of the year in terms of the NFL Draft. In this Covid-plagued season especially, the Senior Bowl is a pivotal step for the prospects who will have the opportunity to play in the game. With the recent news of the combine all but canceled and the East-West Shrine game canceled, the Senior Bowl is the only all-star game this year.

Baron Browning is one of the many pro-ready prospects at the linebacker position for the Buckeyes. He has played in many roles during his time at Ohio State, yet he couldn’t grasp ahold of one spot specifically. In a linebacker class that has received varying opinions, Browning could be a steal on day two or potentially day three.
Before the 2020 season, Alijah Vera-Tucker had opted out before the season and was focusing on the 2021 draft. Upon learning that the PAC-12 would be playing, he returned to USC and made the transition from left guard to left tackle, due to Austin Jackson being selected in the NFL Draft by the Miami Dolphins. Vera-Tucker has made a vast move up draft boards recently as he has the versatility to play both guard and tackle, something that is becoming more important in the NFL today.
A year after Noah Igbinoghene entered the draft as a cornerback after spending most of his career as a receiver, there is another similar story this year. Derion Kendrick spent his sophomore season in high school as a receiver before transitioning to play quarterback his final two years. He went to Clemson to play receiver and made the transition to cornerback before the 2019 season. Kendrick started immediately despite never playing the position before. He has caught the NFL’s attention as a potential first-round pick with a ton of untapped potential yet to be reached.
The 2021 offensive line class is deep. After last year had four tackles go within the first 15 picks, teams are finally starting to fix their offensive line woes. This year, there may not be four tackles to go off of the board within the first 15 picks, but there are plenty of prospects that could be in the conversation for the first round. No player has had a better pre-draft process during the NFL season than Rashawn Slater. His 2019 tape was excellent, and as a result, he opted out of the 2020 season.
This last weekend, Trevon Moehrig followed in Ar’Darius Washington’s footsteps by declaring for the draft. The safety tandem was the best in college football, and now both will be in the NFL following April’s draft. Moehrig is the better of the two and has a chance to be the first safety selected in the draft.
Tylan Wallace has been on the NFL’s radar for some time now. He has had a significant drop in the rankings thanks to other receivers having elite production in this covid-plagued season. In another stacked receiver class, Wallace could be a steal found on day two for a receiver-needy team looking for a number two option outside of their top threat.
Heralded for his 600 lb squats and 4.33-second 40-yard dash, Rondale Moore is one of the most intriguing prospects to enter the 2021 NFL draft. His rare combination of shiftiness and burst allows Moore to become a game-breaking weapon that defenses and special teams get nightmares about. Injuries have been the plague of this stud athlete, but when he has been on the field, few have been as dazzling as Moore.
