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 […]

49ers Draft Trey Sermon

The San Francisco 49ers have used the No. 89 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft on Ohio State running back Trey Sermon. This is a nice landing spot for Sermon, as head coach Kyle Shanahan has shown he wants to run the ball in San Fran, and the addition of quarterback Trey Lance should help […]

Dolphins Draft Hunter Long

With the 81st pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins have selected Boston College tight end Hunter Long. Long had 57 catches for 685 yards and five touchdowns last season and was one of the top receiving tight ends in college football. But the Dolphins already have Mike Gesicki at tight end, making […]

Chargers Draft Josh Palmer

With the 77th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Chargers have drafted Tennessee wide receiver Josh Palmer. Palmer never had a huge season for the Volunteers, topping out at 484 yards in 2018 and four touchdowns last season, but he showed promise as a deep threat in Knoxville. He's shown some improvement […]

Texans Draft Quarterback Davis Mills

The Houston Texans have used the 67th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft on Stanford quarterback Davis Mills. This was Houston's first pick of this year's draft, so it's telling about the future of Deshaun Watson in Houston that the team started out by going QB. Mills didn't start a lot of games in college, […]

Chiefs Select Center Creed Humphrey

With the 63rd pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs have selected Oklahoma center Creed Humphrey. Humphrey didn't allow a sack last season and joins a Chiefs team that has spent the entire offseason rebuilding the offensive line in an attempt to protect quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Humphrey is a strong pass blocker […]

Panthers Take Terrace Marshall Jr.

With the 59th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Carolina Panthers have selected LSU wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. A big outside receiver who had 48 catches for 731 yards last year and who has 23 touchdown receptions over the past two seasons, Marshall offers the Panthers a nice complement to D.J. Moore and […]

Tutu Atwell Drafted By Rams

With the 57th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Rams have drafted Louisville wide receiver Tutu Atwell. As a junior, Atwell had 69 catches for 1,272 yards and 11 touchdowns. The biggest knock against Atwell is his size, as he's just over 150 pounds. But he's an incredibly fast receiver who can […]

D’Wayne Eskridge Taken 56th By Seattle

The Seattle Seahawks have drafted Western Michigan wide receiver D'Wayne Eskridge with the 56th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. Eskridge played five years at WMU, with his best season coming as a senior. In just six games, Eskridge had 33 catches for 768 yards and eight touchdowns. An explosive athlete, Eskridge could add a […]

Steelers Draft Pat Freiermuth

With the 55th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers have selected Penn State tight end Pat Freiermuth. Pittsburgh entered this draft with some big offensive line needs, but went skill position with their first two picks. Freiermuth is the second tight end selected after Kyle Pitts, but the Penn State product just […]

Titans Select Tackle Dillon Radunz

With the 53rd pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Tennessee Titans have selected North Dakota State offensive tackle Dillon Radunz. Coming from the FCS level, Radunz will have a lot of work to do to adjust to the size of NFL pass rushers, but he's a tough player who should be able to crack […]

Washington Selects Tackle Sam Cosmi

With the 51st pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Washington Football Team has drafted Texas offensive tackle Sam Cosmi. Washington still hasn't addressed their quarterback position, so for now, it looks like Cosmi will be pass blocking for veteran QB Ryan Fitzpatrick in 2021. Cosmi has all the physical tools needed to be a […]

Cardinals Draft Rondale Moore

With the 49th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Arizona Cardinals have selected Purdue wide receiver Rondale Moore. Moore's an explosive receiver who can make big plays with the ball in his hands. He's played just seven games over the past two years, but as a freshman in 2018, Moore had 1,471 scrimmage yards […]

Jaguars Draft Tackle Walker Little

With the 45th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars have selected Stanford tackle Walker Little. A highly-touted prospect out of high school, injury and opt out have essentially sidelined him for the past two seasons. He'll have to readjust to playing football, but if Little is healthy, he projects to be a […]

Miami Dolphins Draft Liam Eichenberg

With the 42nd pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins have selected Notre Dame offensive tackle Liam Eichenberg. Tackle is a definite position of need for the Dolphins, who passed on taking one of the elite ones in the first round but who grab a guy who was a solid protector for the […]

Eagles Select Center Landon Dickerson

With the 37th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles have drafted Alabama center Landon Dickerson. The Eagles had the second-worst adjusted sack rate in the NFL last season, so adding to the line should help keep quarterback Jalen Hurts safe, allowing him to form a connection with first-round wide receiver DeVonta Smith. […]

Denver Broncos Use 35th Pick On Javonte Williams

With the 35th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos have taken North Carolina running back Javonte Williams. Regarded by some as the best running back in this draft, Williams had 1,140 rushing yards and 19 touchdowns last season for the Tar Heels, plus added 305 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns. Williams […]

Jags Take Tyson Campbell At 33

The Jacksonville Jaguars have used the 33rd pick in the 2021 NFL Draft on Georgia defensive back Tyson Campbell. It seems like an odd pick for a Jaguars team that didn't seem to have the biggest need at corner. Campbell had just one interception in college and will need to figure out some things in […]

Chargers Take Rashawn Slater

With the 13th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Chargers have drafted Northwestern offensive tackle Rashawn Slater. Widely regarded as the second-best offensive tackle in this year's draft after Penei Sewell, not too many expected Slater to fall to the 13th pick. Slater didn't allow a sack last season and allowed just […]

Chicago Bears Trade Up For Justin Fields

With the No. 11 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears have traded up with the New York Giants and selected Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields. Fields has been one of the top two quarterbacks in this class since high school, but dropped in the lead up to the draft, eventually winding up […]

Denver Uses Ninth Pick On Patrick Surtain II

With the No. 9 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos have selected Alabama defensive back Patrick Surtain II. It's a surprising move as many thought the Broncos would go quarterback, but maybe there's some truth to the trade rumors for Aaron Rodgers that emerged on Thursday. The Broncos add one of the […]

Detroit Lions Draft Penei Sewell

With the No. 7 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Detroit Lions have drafted Oregon offensive tackle Penei Sewell. The best lineman in this draft, Sewell didn't allow a sack in 2019 before opting out last season. Sewell is just a monstrous blocker who will instantly help protect new Lions quarterback Jared Goff, plus […]

Bengals Draft Ja’Marr Chase

With the No. 5 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Cincinnati Bengals have selected LSU wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase, a college teammate of quarterback Joe Burrow. It was a bit surprising to see the Bengals not take an offensive lineman to help them protect their second-year quarterback, especially after a knee injury ended his […]

49ers Use Third Pick On Trey Lance

With the No. 3 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the San Francisco 49ers have selected North Dakota State quarterback Trey Lance. A quarterback was going in this spot as soon as the Niners made this trade, but there was debate for weeks about if it would be Lance or Alabama's Mac Jones. Lance […]

Jaguars Draft Trevor Lawrence First Overall

With the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars have selected Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence. The worst kept secret in the NFL, we've known for over a year that whichever team landed the first pick would be taking Lawrence. Last year, he completed 69.2 percent of his passes with 24 […]
