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.

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.

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.
