With the 26th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Browns draft Greg Newsome, cornerback out of Northwestern. While Newsome didn’t go up against the cream of the crop exactly when it came to quarterbacks, he made himself felt. He was one of the biggest playmakers in the secondary of one of the meanest defenses in the Big Ten on Northwestern.

With the 22nd overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Titans draft Caleb Farley, cornerback out of Virginia Tech. Among the cornerbacks in this draft Farley is for sure the biggest wild card. He has had an injury history with his back and sat out this past season due to COVID to protect his parents. The injury stopped him from participating in his pro day so he has not been seen in a football capacity since the 2019 season.

With the 15th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Patriots draft Mac Jones, quarterback out of Alabama. Mac Jones led one of the best Alabama offenses to another historic season. While he did have weapons galore around him, he is a quarterback that fits Belichick’s system and will hopefully be their quarterback for the future for Patriot fans.

With the 12th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Cowboys draft Micah Parsons, linebacker out of Penn State. Micah Parsons is an absolute animal. He opted out this past season, and he didn’t need to show NFL scouts anything more. One of the best linebacker prospects in a while, Parsons will join a Cowboys team that will put him on center stage for years to come.

With the 11th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Bears draft Justin Fields, quarterback out of Ohio State. They are hoping Fields will be the one to finally break the Ohio State quarterback curse. Justin Fields was slated for months to be the surefire #2 pick in this year’s NFL Draft. Along the way, however, for one reason or another, scouts started to question his ability to work at the NFL level. As a result, he finds himself slide to number 11 where the Bears eagerly traded up to get him. Justin Fields Highlights Justin Fields NFL Draft…

With the 10th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Eagles draft DeVonta Smith, wide receiver out of Alabama. If the past two seasons for Philadelphia have shown NFL fans anything it’s that they need receivers. They tried to get cute and drafted Jalen Reagor last year which up to this point is a failed experiment. DeVonta Smith, widely regarded as the best receiver in the draft, looks to right the ship for the Eagles receiving core.

With the ninth overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Broncos draft Patrick Surtain II, cornerback out of Alabama. Patrick Surtain II is an elite corner who played against the best of the SEC at Alabama. He was one of the leaders of one of the most feared defenses in the country, and will surely look to carry over his impact and success into Mile High City.

With the eighth overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Panthers draft Jaycee Horn, cornerback out of South Carolina. You can argue whether or not Horn is the top corner, but he is without a doubt one of the top two available in the draft. Horn played college football at South Carolina and won’t be moving far, to a Panthers defense that needs help in their secondary.

With the fifth overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Bengals draft Ja’Marr Chase, wide receiver out of LSU. Let’s get one thing out of the way, Ja’Marr Chase is a fantastic player. One of the best in the draft obviously. Bengals fans will wonder though if it was smart to take a receiver over a much needed offensive lineman.

With the third overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the 49ers draft Trey Lance, quarterback out of North Dakota State. Trey Lance was truly the question mark among quarterbacks in this draft. Not only did he only play a single game this past season, but it was against a weak opponent and he still struggled. Questions have been raised about him as an accurate passer, but his legs were likely what put him over the top of other QB’s such as Mac Jones.
