Panthers Take Shi Smith

With the 204th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Carolina Panthers have selected South Carolina wide receiver Shi Smith. Smith's a bit of a steal at this point, as he's a tough receiver who adds a physical element to the Panthers. He's coming off a 2020 campaign that saw him catch 57 passes for […]

Bills Draft Marquez Stevenson

With the 203rd pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Buffalo Bills have selected Houston wide receiver Marquez Stevenson. Stevenson led the Cougars in receiving twice during his time in Houston, including 2018, when he caught 75 passes for 1,019 yards and nine touchdowns. Stevenson's big strength is his speed, which could pair nicely with […]

Bengals Select Running Back Chris Evans

With the 202nd pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Cincinnati Bengals have selected Michigan running back Chris Evans. The former Wolverine had just 16 carries for 73 yards last season and last saw serious work back in 2018, so there's a lot of concern here in terms of what Evans can be at the […]

Chargers Draft Larry Rountree III

With the 198th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Chargers have selected Missouri running back Larry Rountree III. He joins a Chargers backfield headed by Austin Ekeler but that has some room for someone to do some early-down work for the team. He saw 209 carries last season to just 15 receptions, […]

Giants Take Gary Brightwell In Sixth Round

With the 196th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the New York Giants drafted Arizona running back Gary Brightwell. Arizona's rushing leader last season, Brightwell's numbers don't pop much on paper, but he's spent time in his career as a slot receiver and could see some passing down work. But with Saquon Barkley as the […]

49ers Draft Running Back Elijah Mitchell

With the 194th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the San Francisco 49ers selected Lousiana running back Elijah Mitchell. This is the second running back picked by the 49ers in this draft after Ohio State's Trey Sermon in the third round. Mitchell had 41 rushing touchdowns and five receiving touchdowns over his four seasons in […]

Falcons Take Receiver Frank Darby

With the 187th pick of the 2021 NFL Draft, the Atlanta Falcons have selected Arizona State wide receiver Frank Darby. Darby's path to snaps this year might depend on what happens with the Julio Jones trade rumors, as the Falcons with Jones don't seem like they'll have a lot of available snaps at receiver. Darby […]

Kansas City Chiefs Draft Cornell Powell

With the 181st pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs have selected Clemson wide receiver Cornell Powell. The Chiefs saw Sammy Watkins depart this offseason and then didn't really fill that hole on their roster, so while Powell is a fifth-round pick, there's a reasonable chance that he ends up seeing the […]

Cowboys Draft Simi Fehoko

With the 179th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys have selected Stanford wide receiver Simi Fehoko. The big-bodied receiver had 37 catches last year for 574 yards and three touchdowns. He set the school's single-game reception record with 16 catches against UCLA. The Cowboys have three strong receivers on their team, but […]

Vikings Select Tight End Zach Davidson

With 168th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings have selected Central Missouri tight end Zach Davidson. Davidson — who also played punter in college — didn't play last season because the pandemic canceled his team's season, but in 2019 he had 40 catches for 894 yards and 15 touchdowns while being named […]

Chiefs Draft Tight End Noah Gray

With the 162nd pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs have selected tight end Noah Gray. Obviously, Kansas City isn't a great landing spot for any tight end since they have the league's best one in Travis Kelce, but Gray will have a chance to play in two tight end sets if […]

Vikings Take Receiver Ihmir Smith-Marsette

With the 157th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings have drafted Iowa wide receiver Ihmir Smith-Marsette. Smith-Marsette caught 25 passes for 345 yards last season. His best college season was in 2019, when he caught 44 passes for 722 yards and five touchdowns. Iowa isn't a program known for producing wide receivers, […]

Eagles Draft Kenneth Gainwell

With the 150th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles have selected Memphis running back Kenneth Gainwell. Gainwell joins a backfield that's headed by Miles Sanders but that has room for someone else to get some additional looks as Sanders' primary backup. Gainwell is one of the most interesting prospects in this class […]

Bengals Take Kicker Evan McPherson

With the 149th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Cincinnati Bengals have selected Florida kicker Evan McPherson. The top kicker in this class, McPherson converted 85 percent of his field goals and 99.3 percent of his extra points over his three years in Gainesville. Considering Bengals kicker Randy Bullock had his second-worst season in […]

Texans Draft Brevin Jordan

With the 147th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Houston Texans have selected Miami tight end Brevin Jordan. Arguably one of the three best tight end prospects in this draft class, the Texans got a potential steal here in the fifth round. Jordan had 38 catches for 576 yards and seven touchdowns last season, […]

Jaguars Select Luke Farrell

With the 145th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars have selected Ohio State tight end Luke Farrell. Farrell wasn't among the top tight end prospects in this draft class, making the selection a little puzzling. He had just five catches this past season for the Buckeyes and four touchdowns over his four […]

Rams Draft Jacob Harris

With the 141st pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Rams have drafted UCF wide receiver/tight end Jacob Harris. Regardless of what position Harris sticks at in the NFL, the Rams are a tough spot for him to find minutes, as they already took Louisville receiver Tutu Atwell in the second, plus have […]

Saints Take Quarterback Ian Book

With the 133rd pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Saints have finally addressed their quarterback position, grabbing Notre Dame passer Ian Book. With all-time great quarterback Drew Brees retiring, there are lots of questions about what the post-Brees era looks like. The expectation is Jameis Winston starts in 2021, but there's no guarantee that […]

Ravens Draft Tylan Wallace

With the 131st pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Baltimore Ravens have selected Oklahoma State wide receiver Tylan Wallace. Wallace is the second receiver the team has taken in this year's draft after they grabbed Rashod Bateman in the first. With Marquise Brown also on the roster and this team focusing a lot on […]

Buccaneers Grab Jaelon Darden At 129

With the 129th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have selected North Texas wide receiver Jaelon Darden. One of the most intriguing players in this draft, Darden was a monster for the Mean Green, catching 74 passes last year for 1,190 yards and 19 touchdowns, setting a school record for receiving […]

Colts Select Tight End Kylen Granson

With the 127th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Indianapolis Colts have selected SMU tight end Kylen Granson. A surprising pick this early, Granson led SMU in receiving touchdowns last season and was a productive receiver in college, though he played at the Group of Five level. He's a little undersized for an NFL […]

Panthers Draft Chuba Hubbard

With the 126th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Carolina Panthers have selected Oklahoma State running back Chuba Hubbard. Considered a top running back prospect at one point, Hubbard saw a huge drop in yards per carry last year from 6.4 down to 4.7. That hurt his draft stock, and he fell to the […]

Washington Takes Tight End John Bates

With the 124th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Washington Football Team has drafted Boise State tight end John Bates. Bates had 12 catches for 117 yards in five games last season. He was a strong blocker for Boise State but never showed much consistency as a pass-catcher, never catching more than 22 passes […]

Patriots Draft Running Back Rhamondre Stevenson

With the 120th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots have selected Oklahoma running back Rhamondre Stevenson. Stevenson had 665 rushing yards last year but missed the first five games of the season due to suspension. He's agile despite being a bigger back and has some appeal as a pass-catching back as […]

Vikings Grab Running Back Kene Nwangwu

With the 119th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings have selected Iowa State running back Kene Nwangwu. In four years in Ames, Nwangwu totaled 744 rushing yards and four touchdowns with just seven receptions. It's a bit of a puzzling pick for the Vikings, who have a solid running back room already […]

Lions Draft Amon-Ra St. Brown

With the 112th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Detroit Lions have selected USC wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. Detroit's receiving unit will look a lot different in 2021 with the departure of Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones Jr., so there's definitely room for St. Brown to get some snaps behind Breshad Perriman and […]

Titans Draft Dez Fitzpatrick

With the 109th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Tennessee Titans have selected Louisville wide receiver Dez Fitzpatrick. At this point in the draft, players aren't usually expected to step in and play immediately, but that could change in Tennessee. Right now, the top receivers beyond A.J. Brown are Josh Reynolds and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, […]

Jets Select Michael Carter

With the 107th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the New York Jets have addressed their running back need by taking North Carolina's Michael Carter. Heading into the draft, the Jets running back room consisted of Lamical Perine, Ty Johnson, Tevin Coleman, and Josh Adams, so there's some clear space for Carter to get onto […]

NASCAR Truck Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Kansas Wise Power 200 (5/1/21)

The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series is back in action on Saturday as we head to Kansas for the Wise Power 200. Will this be another showdown of teammates John Hunter Nemechek and Kyle Busch? Can a Ford or Chevy breakthrough after Toyotas have won the first six races of the season? Can the Cup […]

Instant Reaction: 2021 NFL Draft Round 1 Winners/Losers

The 2021 NFL Draft started on Thursday night and, just like we all expected for months (years?), Trevor Lawrence was the first overall pick. And after that, the draft didn't really get as wild as many expected it would be, though there were still some surprises. We're through one round of the draft now, which […]
