2018 Recruiting Recap: Quarterbacks

July 2, 2021 Tyre Gaines Leave a comment

The 2018 recruiting class at quarterback was a star-studded group that has already had two of its quarterbacks, Trevor Lawrence (Jacksonville Jaguars, 2021 NFL Draft, 1st Round, 1st overall) and Justin Fields (Chicago Bears, 2021 NFL Draft, 1st Round, 11th overall), hear their names called in the NFL Draft. Today, we take a look at the trajectory of the rest of the group. For the purposes of being fair in compiling our Top 10 lists by position group, we continue to use aggregate rankings from three of the top recruiting services (Rivals, 247Sports and ESPN). We also used the most prevalent designation for each quarterback (pro-style or dual-threat) when they came out of high school.

Trevor Lawrence (Pro) Clemson: Ranked #1 by 247Sports, Rivals, & ESPN
Consensus No. 1 recruit coming out of high school who exceeded the many expectations that were placed upon him. Lawrence showed ultimate poise as a true freshman going undefeated and winning the national championship with 347 yards passing and three touchdowns. He won various awards during his time at Clemson, finishing his career with a 34-2 record. Lawrence was taken first overall in the 2021 NFL Draft (Jacksonville Jaguars) and he was widely regarded as the best QB prospect since Andrew Luck in 2012 (Indianapolis Colts).

Justin Fields (Dual) Ohio State: Ranked #1 by 247Sports, Rivals, & ESPN
Fields committed to the Bulldogs and played in 12 of 14 games as a freshman. However, with Jake Fromm being set as the starter, he decided to transfer to Columbus. Fields became the third Buckeye QB in the last 50 seasons to win his first 13 starts. He threw for over 3,000 yards in his first season as a full-time starter with a 41-to-3 touchdown-to- interception ratio. He added over 1,000 rushing yards with 19 touchdowns in his career. Consistency was a concern for many when it came to Fields at the next level, and he ended up going 11th overall in the first round to the Chicago Bears. Many seem to have forgotten when he was a supposed 1A to Trevor Lawrence. I haven’t.

JT Daniels (Pro) USC Trojans: Ranked #2 by 247Sports & Rivals, #3 by ESPN
Daniels enrolled at USC in 2018 and started every game he played. He showed some promise, however a knee injury in the 2019 season opener ended his campaign prematurely. Kedon Slovis took over and played exceptionally well, causing Daniels to transfer to Georgia. He finally got his opportunity late in the year, starting the final four games, all wins for the Bulldogs. In those contests, he threw for over 1,000 yards with 10 touchdowns to just two interceptions. Daniels returned to Georgia for the 2021 season and, if he can build on last year’s momentum, may very well set up his pathway into the NFL.

Tanner McKee (Pro) Stanford: Ranked #3 by 247Sports, #4 by Rivals, & #5 by ESPN
McKee spent most of the last two years in Brazil as a missionary. He made his collegiate debut in 2020, but appeared in just one game. The highly-touted 6-foot-6, 228-pounder will look to solidify his collegiate career in 2021 as a first-time starter. To do so, he will have to fend off senior Jack West.

Justin Rogers QB UNLV — Rogers, pictured, completed 14-of-22 passes for 161 yards and one touchdown for UNLV in 2020. Most of those yards came against an impressive San Jose State defense.

Justin Rogers (Dual) TCU: Ranked #2 by 247Sports & Rivals, #4 by ESPN
Rogers entered the Horned Frogs program as the highest rated recruit of the Gary Patterson-era. However, a devastating injury suffered as a senior in high school never really opened an opportunity at TCU. He threw just one pass for Texas Christian and -after seeing no game action in 2019- Rogers transferred to UNLV. He appeared in two games last season and will look to compete for the starting job in 2021. Standing in Rogers’ way is left-handed 6-foot-5 sophomore Doug Brumfield.

Dorian Thompson-Robinson QB UCLA — Thompson-Robinson -a three-year starter- has already accounted for 47 total touchdowns heading into 2021.

Dorian Thompson-Robinson (Dual) UCLA: Ranked #3 by 247Sports, #2 by Rivals & ESPN
Thompson-Robinson has seen consistent action in all three seasons for the Bruins. In 2020, he was named second-team All-Pac-12 after completing 65% of his passes with 12 touchdowns and four interceptions in five contests. DTR also displayed his dual-threat rushing capability by accounting for over 300 yards and three touchdowns on 55 attempts. Facing a brutal schedule in 2021, the strong-armed veteran has a legitimate chance to become the high-riser of the 2022 NFL Draft’s quarterback class. Thompson-Robinson has first-round talent.

Jarren Williams QB-USF — Williams, pictured, was more than capable in 2019 for the Hurricanes but is now entrenched in a quarterback battle at USF.

Jarren Williams (Dual) Miami: Ranked #4 by 247Sports, #8 by Rivals, & #6 by ESPN
Williams saw brief action as a freshman, with most of his playing time coming in 2019. He completed 61% of his passes with 19 touchdowns to just seven interceptions. However, Miami finished the year 6-7 and put out a futile effort in their bowl game (2019 Independence Bowl). Williams transferred to Garden City CC following the year and their season was cancelled due to COVID-19. He then enrolled at USF, where the former U.S. Army All-American is entrenched in a four-way battle for playing time amongst four contenders. The list includes former UNC quarterback Cade Fortin.

Matt Corral (Pro) Ole Miss: Ranked #5 by 247Sports, #3 by Rivals, & #6 by ESPN
Corral took over as the Rebels starting QB last season following limited action in his first two years. He finished the year completing nearly 71% of his passes with 29 touchdowns, while also adding over 500 rushing yards and four more scores to his season totals. Corral displayed his ability as a big-time thrower of the football in 2020. He passed for at least 300 yards in seven of 10 games, but he needs to cut down the turnovers (14 INTs, 4 fumbles-3 lost).

Tyler Shough QB-Texas Tech — Shough transferred to Texas Tech for the 2021 campaign despite compiling a 13:6 TD/INT ratio for the Ducks in 2020. Shough also had two games with over 80 yards on the ground.

Tyler Shough (Pro) Oregon: Ranked #6 by 247Sports & Rivals, #15 by ESPN
Shough appeared in five games as a redshirt freshman in 2019. In 2020, he took over as the team’s full-time starter, completing nearly 65% of his passes with 13 touchdowns in seven games. Following a disappointing end to the season, Shough decided to transfer to Texas Tech, where he’ll look to help turn a program around and build his draft stock over the next few years.

Phil Jurkovec (Dual) Notre Dame: Ranked #5 by 247Sports & Rivals, #9 by ESPN
Jurkovec saw minimal snaps during his first two seasons with the Fighting Irish due to a depth chart that included 30-game winner Ian Book. He transferred to Boston College and became the team’ starting QB in 2020. He threw for over 2,500 yards with 17 passing touchdowns and added another three rushing scores on the ground. Another impressive campaign in 2021 could land him as a mid-round selection in next year’s draft. He has certain characteristics that attract evaluators at the next level, including an ability to fit the ball into tight windows.

2021 NFL Draft Recap: NFC North

May 4, 2021 Troy Jefferson Leave a comment

The 2021 NFL Draft Recap: NFC North breaks down the selections of all the division teams. The Detroit Lions prioritized the trenches under new HC Dan Campbell. While, the Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings look to the future at quarterback with Justin Fields and Kellen Mond. Can Eric Stokes (pictured) help the backend in Green Bay?

Detroit Lions
Selection	Team	Player Selection	Position- School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	Notes
1st round, 7th overall	Detroit Lions	Penei Sewell	6’5 331 OT-Oregon	3/1st Round	Sewell’s nastiness made him one of the best picks in this year’s draft and fits what the Lions are trying to do with a physical running game.
2nd round, 41st overall	Detroit Lions	Levi Onwuziurike	6’3 297 DT-Senior	41/2nd Round	Despite not being an elite interior pass rusher, there is room for Onwuzurike to develop into more in that facet of his game.
3rd round, 72nd overall	Detroit Lions	Alim McNeill	6’2 317/DT-NG-NC State	72/2nd Round	McNeill has all of the tools to be a legitimate first and second down force as a zero-technique nose guard. His strength is sudden, particularly after establishing hand placement inside the numbers of centers or guards. The All-ACC defensive tackle can win laterally or to a spot, but there are questions about his ability to finish as a pass rusher.
3rd round, 101st overall	Detroit Lions	Ifeatu Melifonwu	6’3 213/CB-Syracuse	187/3rd Round	His tackling was solid for the most part, but he did not attack stalk blocks with a dominant mentality. Overall, Melifonwu played with awareness and attacked the three-step passing game. After a solid Senior Bowl week, he should hear his name called early on Day 3 of the draft process.
4th round, 112th overall	Detroit Lions	Amon-Ra St. Brown	5’11 197/WR-USC	21/2nd Round	Traffic. How do prospects play within the high traffic areas on the field? St. Brown attacks traffic as a route runner or blocker.
4th round, 113th overall	Detroit Lions (from Carolina Panthers)	Derrick Barnes	6’0 245/LB-Purdue	169/3rd Round	Barnes’ value depends on where a team decides to play him. In 2019, he was more than capable as a rush outside linebacker. We feel the former All-State running back’s feel for the game should be used in a multitude of roles. His experience on special teams helps his overall value.
7th round, 257th overall	Detroit Lions (from Cleveland Browns)	Jermar Jefferson	5’10 206/RB-Oregon State	222/4th Round	Jefferson is a smooth effortless runner who is light on his feet with good contact balance. He squirts through holes, picks his feet up and uses subtle slide steps that cover distance going laterally.
Minnesota Vikings
Selection	Team	Player Selection	Position- School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	Notes
1st round, 23rd overall	Minnesota Vikings (from New York Jets)	Christian Darrisaw	6’5 314 LT-Virginia Tech	4/1st Round	The Vikings get one of the draft’s best offensive line talents after sliding back in the first round. Good moves again by the Vikings front office.
3rd round, 66th overall	Minnesota Vikings (from New York Jets)	Kellen Mond	6’3 211/QB-Texas A&M	147/3rd Round	Overall, the Aggies’ all-time leader in total offense has a dual-threat game that largely translates to today’s NFL game. To put it all in perspective, he had 18 games with a rushing and passing touchdown in school.
3rd round, 78th overall	Minnesota Vikings	Chazz Surratt	6’2 227/LB-North Carolina	132/3rd Round	Surratt is a converted QB and has limited reps as a linebacker although he did play safety in high school. The Tar Heels converted QB will be judged by his ability to learn the intricacies of the position, but in a short time he has shown the raw talent is there.
3rd round, 86th overall	Minnesota Vikings (from New York Jets)	Wyatt Davis	6’3 315/OG-Ohio State	63/2nd Round	The Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Year has paved the way for Ohio State’s running game and likely a spot for himself early in the 2021 NFL Draft. We were probably most impressed with his ability to re-anchor in the pass protection aspect of his game. His ability to play with a base gives him a chance versus some of the quicker leverage-based defensive tackles he will face at the next level.
3rd round, 90th overall	Minnesota Vikings	Patrick Jones II	6’4 268/DE-Pittsburgh	97/3rd Round	We think the first-team All-American’s future in the NFL is as either a right defensive end or 30-front rush outside linebacker. As an outside linebacker, he will be able to operate with a little room to set up his pass rush moves. The former Virginia high school product has a game that blossomed the last two years after serving an apprenticeship role back in 2018 (23 tackles, 4 QB sacks, 7.5 TFLs, FF).
4th round, 119th overall	Minnesota Vikings	Kene Nwangwu	6’0 212/RB-Iowa State	171/3rd Round	Nwangwu, a former prep level track and field star, has battled injuries while in school. He bounced back positively from an Achilles tendon injury in 2017 to embody what the Iowa State program currently represents from a leadership perspective. Even though he played second-fiddle to first-team All-American Breece Hall, it should not be a reflection of his own diverse talent.
4th round, 125th overall	Minnesota Vikings (from Chicago Bears)	Camryn Bynum	6’0 198/CB-California	236/4th Round	There may be questions about Bynum’s flat-out speed, but we think those may concealed if used in a Vonn Bell-type roll at the next level.
4th round, 134th overall	Minnesota Vikings (from Buffalo Bills; conditional)	Janarius Robinson	6'5 266/DE-FSU	134/3rd Round	Games like the Clemson contest in 2019 display the potential of Robinson, who is a big defensive end with very good field speed. We even think he has the upside to potentially play an outside linebacker in a 3-4 defense. His quickness is tough to handle.
5th round, 157th overall	Minnesota Vikings	Ihmir Smith-Marsette	6'0 181/WR-Iowa	146/3rd Round	His foot speed is probably best represented with how well he carries his pads on Saturday afternoons. The instincts with the ball in his hands are first-rate, as is his peripheral vision to feel defenders around him in space.
5th round, 168th overall	Minnesota Vikings (from Pittsburgh Steelers through Baltimore Ravens)	Zach Davidson	6'7 248/TE-Central Missouri	250/4th Round	Plays TE and punts for the Mules. The team aligns him in the No. 2 slot, No. 3 slot, Y-TE and offset FB. If he can improve as an in-line blocker and eliminate the drops, his foot speed and athleticism gives him a chance to become even more.
6th round, 199th overall	Minnesota Vikings	Jaylen Twyman	6’2 301/DT-Pittsburgh	316/4th Round	It was impressive that he pumped out 40 repetitions at 225 pounds on his Pro Day in March. However, that really isn’t his game when you turn on the film. The 2019 second-team All-American has some lower body strength, but he is most satisfied winning with arm overs and swim moves.
Chicago Bears
Selection	Team	Player Selection	Position- School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	Notes
1st round, 11th overall	Chicago Bears (trade from New York Giants)	Justin Fields	6’3 227 QB-Ohio State	31/2nd Round	Fields goes to a football team where he can add arm strength to pierce balls through the wind and add diversity to the team’s running team.
2nd round, 39th overall	Chicago Bears (from Carolina Panthers)	Tevin Jenkins	6’6 317/OT-Oklahoma State	20/2nd Round	Jenkins needs more technique work, but he has improved for the most part during his career.
5th round, 151st overall	Chicago Bears (from Carolina Panthers)	Larry Borom	6’5 327/OL-Missouri	183/3rd Round	He should not have a problem with the power of the NFL game due to his wide base and strong trunk. Dealing with the speed of NFL pass rushers, however, could become an issue.
6th round, 217th overall	Chicago Bears (via Tampa Bay Buccaneers (compensatory selection)	Khalil Herbert	5’8 204 RB-Virginia Tech, Kansas	203/4th Round	It was a bit of a surprise that Herbert never returned kickoffs while at Kansas, but he became a hit at Virginia Tech in that regard. In addition, his ball security ranks as a plus entering the NFL. Herbert never fumbled in the Big 12 or ACC. He may not have a dominant trait, but his smooth nature makes him difficult to get a grasp on down-to-down.
6th round, 221st overall	Chicago Bears (compensatory selection)	Dazz Newsome	5’10 190/All-purpose-North Carolina	190/4th Round	His 188 career receptions are supported by a nine yard per carry average and over 11 yards per punt return. Newsome is an all-purpose weapon with upside in the slot or the return game.
6th round, 228th overall	Chicago Bears (compensatory selection)	Thomas Graham, Jr.	5'10 193/CB-Oregon	112/3rd Round	Prior to opting out of the 2020 season, he had already put together a full career’s worth of film for NFL teams to devour. He’s tough, competitive, sturdy and generally displayed good technique week-to-week in the Pac-12. He works to stay aligned in the team’s coverage concepts and is rarely out of position.
7th round, 250th overall	Chicago Bears (from Seattle Seahawks)	Khyiris Tonga	6’2 325/DT-BYU	171/3rd Round	Did 35 bench press reps at 225 pounds. In today’s NFL, the splash interior defensive line prospects typically are able to work to half a man for quick penetration. This is not Tonga’s game. Where he does flash in the passing game revolves around his timing to cloud passing lanes. He finished his career with 12 pass deflections.
Green Bay Packers
Selection	Team	Player Selection	Position- School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	Notes
1st round, 29th overall	Green Bay Packers	Eric Stokes	6’1 194/CB-Georgia	35/2nd Round	Stokes continued to get better year-to-year, but prior to 2020 he hadn’t finished on the ball. The 10.39 100-meter sprinter finished with four interceptions as a senior.
2nd round, 62nd overall	Green Bay Packers	Josh Myers	6’5 310/OC-Ohio State	168/3rd Round	10 1/2” hands. Myers is capable of getting to most of his spots but his hand placement is a question mark. He is a fit in a zone blocking scheme and it might be at a guard position as opposed to center.
3rd round, 85th overall	Green Bay Packers (from Tennessee Titans)	Amari Rodgers	5’9 212/WR-Clemson	99/3rd Round	Rodgers was just five months removed from a spring ACL tear (knee injury) in 2019, so did Tigers fans truly see the best he had to offer? If 2020 was any indication, then probably not. He looked stronger, more decisive and faster as a senior. In addition, his route-running savvy took another step forward. At 211 pounds, he is more than willing as a blocker, runs well after the catch and separates with timely cuts on option patterns.
4th round, 142nd overall	Green Bay Packers (compensatory selection)	Royce Newman	6’5 306/OL-Ole Miss	234/4th Round	He has started at OG (LG) and moved to RT in 2020. Allowed just one QB sack at OG in 2019. Plays with hot feet. We think he has positional versatility as a backup at three-to-four different line spots.
5th round, 173rd overall	Green Bay Packers	Tedarrell Slaton	6’4 330/DT-Florida	416/5th Round	He seemed to get his weight down to around the 340-pound range in 2020 and it helped him play with more consistency. The projected two-down defender has upside as a zero-technique in three-man fronts and one-technique in four-man schemes.
5th round, 178th overall	Green Bay Packers (compensatory selection)	Shemar Jean-Charles	5'10 184/CB-Appalachian State	171/3rd Round	Team captain. One of the areas which stands out with Jean-Charles is his ability to accelerate in the move area (12-to-16 yards). Whether it is playing off-man or using a bail-and-run, he accelerates with energy once the receiver makes a decision to go vertical.
6th round, 214th overall	Green Bay Packers	Cole Van Lanen	6’5 304/OT-Wisconsin	156/3rd Round	Van Lanen has enough length to keep defenders at bay, but he is somewhat narrow overall. It will be import for him to unlock his hands with increased urgency to handle NFL-style pass rushers.
6th round, 220th overall	Green Bay Packers (compensatory selection)	Isaiah McDuffie	6'2 225/LB-Boston College	248/4th Round	Collegiately, McDuffie was able to outrun a number of his mistakes. We don’t anticipate that remaining the same at the NFL level. The second-team All-ACC linebacker is a run-and-chase type who will need to be covered up as a Will linebacker.
7th round, 256th overall	Green Bay Packers	Kylin Hill	5’10 214/Mississippi State	83/3rd Round	His low center of gravity allows him to slide and dart with square-stance cuts to get back north-south. In 2020, no one was expecting to see Hill get 20 carries per game in first-year head coach Mike Leach’s air raid system. He never received more than seven (in a game).

Eric Stokes CB Green Bay Packers — **2021 NFL Draft Recap: NFC North:** Eric Stokes was drafted by the Green Bay Packers with the 29th pick overall.

2021 NFL Draft Round 1, Recap

April 30, 2021 Corey Chavous Leave a comment

The 2021 NFL Draft’s first round is complete and the offensive players took much of the focus early. Five quarterbacks were selected in the draft’s first 15 selections. Later in the round, teams made sure that they took plenty of pass rushers to contend with some of the NFL’s high-powered offenses. In fact, defensive players comprised the final five picks of the first round. We look at each pick in our recap of the draft’s first night.


Round 1
Selection	Team	Player selection	Position-School	DN Big Board Rank/Grade	Notes
1st overall	Jacksonville Jaguars	Trevor Lawrence	6’5 5/8” 213/QB-Clemson	5/1st Round	Lawrence's underrated athleticism works for an offense that already features a 1,000-yard rusher and two 1,000-yard receivers.
2nd overall	New York Jets	Zach Wilson	6’2 214/QB-BYU	25/2nd Round	Wilson could be a BYU mix of former Cougar standouts Jim McMahon and Steve Young.
3rd overall	San Francisco 49ers	Trey Lance	6’4 226/QB-North Dakota State	34/2nd Round	Lance goes to an offense that should spotlight his ability to operate on the edges or from inside the pocket.
4th overall	Atlanta Falcons	Kyle Pitts	6’6 245/TE-Florida	10/1st Round	New HC Arthur Smith adds to Ryan's vast array of weapons in hopes of recapturing MVP form.
5th overall	Cincinnati Bengals	Ja’Marr Chase	6’0 201/WR-LSU	12/1st Round	Chase re-unites with his former Heisman QB in hopes of re-igniting their 2019 national championship rhythm.
6th overall	Miami Dolphins	Jaylen Waddle	5’9 1/2” 180/WR-Alabama	28/2nd Round	Waddle is the next receiver to go off the board to be re-united with his former college QB. His foot speed expands the Dolphins’ vertical passing game.
7th overall	Detroit Lions	Penei Sewell	6’5 331 OT-Oregon	3/1st Round	Sewell’s nastiness made him one of the best picks in this year’s draft and fits what the Lions are trying to do with a physical running game.
8th overall	Carolina Panthers	Jaycee Horn	6’1 205 CB-South Carolina	19/2nd Round	The Panthers needed a big corner and they took one of the draft’s longer ones in Horn.
9th overall	Denver Broncos	Patrick Surtain II	6’2 208 CB-Alabama	7/1st Round	The Broncos take the second consecutive CB off of the board and his technique is arguably the best.
10th overall	Philadelphia Eagles (from Dallas Cowboys)	DeVonta Smith	6’0 166 WR-Alabama	1/1st Round	The 2020 Heisman Trophy winner will get an opportunity to re-unite with his former QB too, just like Waddle and Chase earlier in the draft.
11th overall	Chicago Bears (trade from New York Giants)	Justin Fields	6’3 227 QB-Ohio State	31/2nd Round	Fields goes to a football team where he can add arm strength to pierce balls through the wind and add diversity to the team’s running team.
12th overall	Dallas Cowboys (from Philadelphia Eagles)	Micah Parsons	6’3 246 LB-Penn State	2/1st Round	Parsons’ speed goes with rare size at the position. He has a chance to develop in Dan Quinn’s system.
13th overall	Los Angeles Chargers	Rashawn Slater	6’4 304 OT-Northwestern	16/2nd Round	Slater’s technique gives the Chargers added flexibility on its offensive lineman, as the former OL has started at both RT and LT.
14th overall	New York Jets (from Minnesota Vikings)	Alijah Vera-Tucker	6’4 302 OT-USC	6/1st Round	Vera-Tucker could pair with Becton on the left side to potentially power an offensive line that could develop into one of the AFC’s best.
15th overall	New England Patriots	Mac Jones	6’2 217 QB-Alabama	39/2nd Round	Jones goes to the Patriots to develop in a system that could spotlight all of his respective strengths.
16th overall	Arizona Cardinals	Zaven Collins	6’4 260 LB-Tulsa	13/1st Round	Collins’ skills can now pair with Simmons to give the Cardinals defensive flexibility in spades. The team adds a player who creates difficult one-on-one matchups for teams on third down.
17th overall	Las Vegas Raiders	Alex Leatherwood	6’5 312 OL-Alabama	104/3rd Round	The 2020 Outland Trophy winner may make a move to the inside, where he was a second-team All-SEC player at RG in 2018.
18th overall	Miami Dolphins	Jaelen Phillips	6’5 260 DE-Miami (Fla.), UCLA	43/2nd Round	Phillips has all of the tools to become an instant contributor opposite Emmanuel Ogbah. Can he stay healthy?
19th overall	Washington Football Team	Jamin Davis	6’4 234 LB-Kentucky	61/2nd Round	HC Ron Rivera finds a linebacker who has the traits to become like the LBs he had in Carolina.
20th overall	New York Giants (from Chicago Bears)	Kadarius Toney	5’11 189 All-Purpose/Florida	49/2nd Round	His ability to get in-and-out of traffic with the ball in his hands makes him a threat as an all-purpose prospect and slot WR.
21st overall	Indianapolis Colts	Kwity Paye	6’3 270 DE-Michigan	9/1st Round	Paye was one of the draft’s best run defender and he is going to get better as a pass rusher.
22nd overall	Tennessee Titans	Caleb Farley	6’2 207 CB-Virginia Tech	17/1st Round	One of the draft’s most talented corners has ball skills, instincts and health concerns. His skills fit Tennessee’s defensive
23rd overall	Minnesota Vikings (from New York Jets)	Christian Darrisaw	6’5 314 LT-Virginia Tech	4/1st Round	The Vikings get one of the draft’s best offensive line talents after sliding back in the first round. Good moves again by the Vikings front office.
24th overall	Pittsburgh Steelers	Najee Harris	6’1 231/RB-Alabama	11/1st Round	The Steelers get the former five-star recruit whose game continues to grow both as a receiver and blocker. They get one of the better prospects in the 2021 NFL Draft.
25th overall	Jacksonville Jaguars	Travis Etienne	5’10 215/RB-Clemson	22/1st Round	Etienne reunites with Trevor Lawrence in what could prove to be a game-changing backfield combination. He will team with James Robinson for a powerful one-two punch.
26th overall	Cleveland Browns	Greg Newsome II	6'1 190/CB-Northwestern	64/2nd Round	Newsome’s technique goes along with smooth on-field movement. The Browns now have three cornerbacks to match up with the AFC’s fast-paced offenses.
27th overall	Baltimore Ravens	Rashod Bateman	6’0 190/WR-Minnesota	18/2nd Round	Bateman gives Jackson yet another weapon after the signing of Sammy Watkins. The team is continuing to attempt to get it right at the position.
28th overall	New Orleans Saints	Payton Turner	6’5 290/DE-Houston	111/3rd Round	Turner impressed on his Pro Day with a 4.33 20-yard shuttle time at 290 pounds. Turner got better during his career week-to-week.
29th overall	Green Bay Packers	Eric Stokes	6’1 194/CB-Georgia	35/2nd Round	Stokes continued to get better year-to-year, but prior to 2020 he hadn’t finished on the ball. The 10.39 100-meter sprinter finished with four interceptions as a senior.
30th overall	Buffalo Bills	Gregory Rousseau	6’6 5/8” 266/DE-Miami (Fla.)	8/1st Round	The Bills take a pass rusher with 11-inch hands and an 83” wingspan. Rousseau had 15.5 QB sacks in 2019 and was tough to latch while working from a number of spots.
31st overall	Baltimore Ravens	Jayson Oweh	6’5 252/DE-Penn State	143/3rd Round	The Ravens bet on Oweh’s upside, which includes 4.3 speed and very good upper body strength.
32nd overall	Tampa Bay Buccaneers	Joe Tryon	6’5 252/DE-Washington	69/2nd Round	Tryon has played from a two-point stand-up OLB or with his hand in the dirt. This was a perfect scheme-fit for the Buccaneers.

2021 Seven-Round NFL Mock Draft

April 17, 2021 Troy Jefferson Leave a comment

The 2021 NFL Draft is quickly approaching. Where will quarterbacks like Zach Wilson and Trevor Lawrence land? Do the Atlanta Falcons target a weapon for Matt Ryan? DraftNasty’s 2021 seven-round NFL Mock Draft will answer some of your questions about how we project each team will pick. In this mock draft, we used a variety of factors to determine who each team will pick including: past general manager selections, team needs, current roster after free agency and the impact a player could have immediately.

For example, does the Washington Football Team target a quarterback since they already signed Ryan Fitzpatrick and, if so, will they reach for a quarterback if the top four prospects at the position are taken? Scroll below to see but, unlike other Mock Drafts, we factor in the front offices. Remember, Washington has a unique conglomerate of GM-esque decision makers: HC Ron Rivera, GM Martin Mayhew and executive VP Marty Hurney.

Another important factor in our Mock Draft is the 2021 DraftNasty Big Board. There are more than 550 prospects on the Big Board this season. Note: the complete Big Board can be found in our 2021 NFL Draft Guide, which is available for purchase.

Selection	Team	Player selection	Position	School	Notes
1st Round
1st overall	Jacksonville Jaguars	Trevor Lawrence	QB	Clemson	Lawrence's underrated athleticism works for an offense that already features a 1,000-yard rusher and two 1,000-yard receivers.
2nd overall	New York Jets	Zach Wilson	QB	BYU	Wilson could be a BYU mix of former Cougar standouts Jim McMahon and Steve Young.
3rd overall	San Francisco 49ers	Justin Fields	QB	Ohio State	San Francisco wouldn't trade up for anything other than a quarterback. Fields finds a home early in the draft.
4th overall	Atlanta Falcons	Kyle Pitts	TE	Florida	New HC Arthur Smith adds to Ryan's vast array of weapons in hopes of recapturing MVP form.
5th overall	Cincinnati Bengals	Penei Sewell	OT	Oregon	The Bengals get added protection for quarterback Joe Burrow.
6th overall	Miami Dolphins	Ja'Marr Chase	WR	LSU	Reuniting with former teammate D. Smith would have been nice, but Dolphins pick '19 Biketnikoff winner.
7th overall	Detroit Lions	Micah Parsons	LB	Penn State	New HC Dan Campbell drafts a talented linebacker he can build defense around.
8th overall	Carolina Panthers	Rashawn Slater	OT	Northwestern	No matter who plays QB, the Panthers have to do a better job protecting the passer up front.
9th overall	Denver Broncos	Christian Darrisaw	OT	Virginia Tech	The Broncos spend a high pick on an insurance policy if Ja'Wuan James can't return to 2019 form after opting out of the 2020 campaign.
10th overall	Dallas Cowboys	Patrick Surtain II	CB	Alabama	Can you win with two Alabama CBs on the edges? We are about to find out.
11th overall	New York Giants	Jeremiah Owusu- Koramoah	LB	Notre Dame	New York targeted offensive weapons during free agency and now they add another piece to its improving defense.
12th overall	Philadelphia Eagles	Jaycee Horn	CB	South Carolina	Howie Roseman takes one of the best corners off the board but in reality he may continue his trend of reaching for position players.
13th overall	Los Angeles Chargers	Kwity Paye	DE/LB	Michigan	Los Angeles bolsters its defensive front seven with a Melvin Ingram-clone.
14th overall	Minnesota Vikings	Alijah Vera-Tucker	OG/OT	USC	Minnesota adds to their offensive line with Vera-Tucker, who can play both guard and tackle.
15th overall	New England Patriots	DeVonta Smith	WR	Alabama	New England could add Trey Lance here, but instead they opt for Smith, our number one overall prospect.
16th overall	Arizona Cardinals	Caleb Farley	CB	Virginia Tech	Arizona brushes off injury concerns and picks arguably the draft's most talented corner.
17th overall	Las Vegas Raiders	Zaven Collins	LB	Tulsa	Oakland gets some help at the linebacker position. Collins can help their pass rush and aid last year's back end selections.
18th overall	Miami Dolphins	Teven Jenkins	OT	Oklahoma State	HC Brian Flores gets some help along the offensive line after drafting a receiver early in the proceedings.
19th overall	Washington Football Team	Trey Lance	QB	North Dakota State	HC Ron Rivera gets his new-age version of former MVP Cam Newton.
20th overall	Chicago Bears	Jaylen Waddle	WR	Alabama	Chicago spices up its offensive weapons, but can Waddle remain healthy?
21st overall	Indianapolis Colts	Gregory Rousseau	DE	Miami (Fla.)	Rousseau slides to the AFC South, where his size will mesh with fellow 6'7 stalwart DeForest Buckner
22nd overall	Tennessee Titans	Christian Barmore	DT	Alabama	Tennessee went with Bud Dupree in free agency and now adds an interior disruptor to its defensive front seven.
23rd overall	New York Jets	Najee Harris	RB	Alabama	The Jets get a power back to go with their power left tackle in Mekhi Becton.
24th overall	Pittsburgh Steelers	Travis Etienne	RB	Clemson	Now that the run on running backs has started, Pittsburgh gets a new featured back. Etienne's improved receiving skills help the room.
25th overall	Jacksonville Jaguars	Trevon Moehrig	S	TCU	The Jim Thorpe Award winner adds stability in a division with plenty of big receiving threats.
26th overall	Cleveland Browns	Jevon Holland	S/ Nickel/ Return	Oregon	Cleveland opts not to reach for a linebacker but instead bring in a swiss army knife defender.
27th overall	Baltimore Ravens	Azeez Ojulari	OLB	Georgia	The Ravens go all-in on Ojulari, a burgeoning pass rusher and underrated run defender.
28th overall	New Orleans Saints	Mac Jones	QB	Alabama	Sean Payton gets an accurate signal caller, who will compete with Jameis Winston and Taysom Hill for the starting job.
29th overall	Green Bay Packers	Rashod Bateman	WR	Minnesota	Bateman is used to the cold and he'll find some more of it Wisconsin.
30th overall	Buffalo Bills	Jaelan Phillips	DE/OLB	Miami (Fla.)	Phillips could be the steal of the first round, but can he remain healthy?
31st overall	Baltimore Ravens	Liam Eichenberg	OT	Notre Dame	Solid player who will pair with fellow Fighting Irish tackle on the other side.
32nd overall	Tampa Bay Buccaneers	Terrace Marshall Jr.	WR	LSU	Tom Brady gets an outside weapon to replace Antonio Brown if he isn't retained.
2nd Round
33rd overall	Jacksonville Jaguars	Richie Grant	S	UCF	The former UCF star can go right down the road to change addresses.
34th overall	New York Jets	Kelvin Joseph	CB	Kentucky/ LSU	The pick here will be between Joseph and Stokes. Or does Campbell usurp Stokes?
35th overall	Atlanta Falcons	Eric Stokes	CB	Georgia	Read the above note.
36th overall	Miami Dolphins	Milton Williams	DL	Louisiana Tech	Versatile skill-set fits Flores' scheme. Offers outside/inside presence.
37th overall	Philadelphia Eagles	Baron Browning	LB	Ohio State	Browning could be an immediate Day 1 starter at OLB for a team that now has addressed its front seven and back end.
38th overall	Cincinnati Bengals	Trey Smith	OG	Tennessee	If he can keep his weight at a balance under control, then Bengals secure potential Pro Bowl talent with swing versatility.
39th overall	Carolina Panthers	Jabril Cox	LB	LSU	A Shaq Thompson/ Jabril Cox pairing would draw similarities to fellow NFC South tandem Devin White and Lavonte David.
40th overall	Denver Broncos	Levi Onwuzurike	DL	Washington	Team solves some of its depth issues with quick interior line disruptor.
41st overall	Detroit Lions	Kadarius Toney	WR-Ret	Florida	The Lions take a calculated gamble here, but the Florida receiver will slip no further.
42nd overall	New York Giants	Greg Newsome II	CB	Northwestern	Newsome II can become a starter, but health is the question mark.
43rd overall	San Francisco 49ers	Paulson Adebo	CB	Stanford	49ers go right down Rte. 101 for a cornerback from Stanford.
44th overall	Dallas Cowboys	Carlos "Boogie" Basham	DE/ DT	Wake Forest	Jerry Jones brings in the cousin of Tarell Basham to help with the departure of Aldon Smith.
45th overall	Jacksonville Jaguars	Dillon Radunz	OT	North Dakota State	Radunz brings an athletic presence to the edges and is insurance if Robinson doesn't regain form.
46th overall	New England Patriots	Jamin Davis	LB	Kentucky	Bill Belichick brings in another linebacker who can contribute immediately for an unproven group sans Dont'a Hightower.
47th overall	Los Angeles Chargers	Tyson Campbell	CB	Georgia	Technically, he's a work in progress, but Chargers bet on size, speed and SEC experience.
48th overall	Las Vegas Raiders	Hamsah Nasirildeen	S/LB	FSU	New DC Gus Bradley gets another athletic hybrid player in the second round.
49th overall	Arizona Cardinals	Joe Tryon	DE-OLB	Washington	Cardinals add an edge rusher with upside in Round 2.
50th overall	Miami Dolphins	Javonte Williams	RB	UNC	Williams adds some power to the backfield alongside Myles Gaskin and Salvon Ahmed.
51st overall	Washington Football Team	Rondale Moore	WR-Ret	Purdue	Moore opens up the offense with gadget possibilities alongside versatile Gibson.
52nd overall	Chicago Bears	Davis Mills	QB	Stanford	Mills could see action in the middle of the season if things go south with Andy Dalton and Nick Foles.
53rd overall	Tennessee Titans	Dayo Odeyingbo	DE	Vanderbilt	Much like former first-round pick Simmons, Titans put injured Odeyingbo on ice.
54th overall	Indianapolis Colts	Elijah Moore	WR	Ole Miss	We contemplated Elijah Moore here in the first round but the Colts get him a round later to be the successor to T.Y. Hilton.
55th overall	Pittsburgh Steelers	Wyatt Davis	OG	Ohio State	Steelers seek to regain identity up front.
56th overall	Seattle Seahawks	Ambry Thomas	CB	Michigan	The Seahawks were 31st in pass defense last season, Thomas helps them.
57th overall	Los Angeles Rams	Caden Sterns	S	Texas	Sterns' range could help alleviate the loss of Johnson in free agency.
58th overall	Kansas City Chiefs	Cam Sample	DE/ OLB	Tulane	HC Andy Reid adds to his defense. The Buccaneers kept their defensive linemen fresh in the Super Bowl, now KC can do likewise.
59th overall	Cleveland Browns	Nick Bolton	LB	Missouri	The Browns need a tone-setter in the middle of their defense. Bolton brings thump and leadership.
60th overall	New Orleans Saints	Alim McNeill	DT	NC State	The Saints have to address their interior defensive line and McNeill is a solid remedy.

62nd overall	Green Bay Packers	Asante Samuel Jr.	CB	FSU	Jaire Alexander and Asante Samuel Jr. are two of the more competitive cornerbacks and will be needed as they battle for conference supremacy with the loaded Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
63rd overall	Kansas City Chiefs	Samuel Cosmi	OT	Texas	The pick here is either Cosmi or Michigan's Jalen Mayfield. The Chiefs go with the traits.
