2021 NFL Draft: Top Ten Prospects Still On The Board
10. WR Tylan Wallace, Oklahoma State
He’s not huge, he runs closer to 4.5, suffered a knee injury a few years ago, and isn’t a true blazer, but you want his heart and toughness in every receiver in the draft. The raw tools are going to drop him down too far, but he’s one of the few true No. 1 receiver prospects. He’s a baller’s baller who’ll make himself a pro.
9. CB Tyson Campbell, Georgia
Fast, fast, fast, it was a wee bit of a shocker that Green Bay took Georgia teammate Eric Stokes in the first round instead of him. The lack of interception production for the Bulldogs matters, but he’s got 4.3 wheels and the size everyone wants.
8. LB Nick Bolton, Missouri
Here’s your leading tackler. A bit undersized, the 5-11, 237-pounder is strong enough to hold his own and gets sideline to sideline making things happen. Stick him in the inside and let him go hit every running back.
7. DT Levi Onwuzurike, Washington
Sort of the best of all worlds among the various tackles, the 6-3, 290-pounder would’ve fit Tampa Bay at the 32 – but teammate Joe Tryon was picked instead. He tough, can move, and he doesn’t get shoved without a double-team. Someone is fired up to get him as soon as possible on Thursday.
6. WR Terrace Marshall, LSU
The only thing missing is the brand name. He was ultra-productive with the 4.4 speed to go along with the 6-3, 205-pound size. Consistency is a concern, and he’s suffering from being on the team with Ja’Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson a few years ago, but he’s got a huge upside.

5. WR Elijah Moore, Ole Miss
It’s ridiculous that he didn’t go in the first round. Rashod Bateman and Kadarius Toney are each nice prospects, but they’re not a possible No. 1 like Moore. The problem is that he’s not huge – he’s just 5-10 and 178 pounds – and he’s not going to shove anyone around. However – and this gets lost in the narrative – he ran a faster 40 than Jaylen Waddle.
4. WR Rondale Moore, Purdue
4.29. No wide receiver had a better workout than the former Purdue star, but the 5-7, 181-pound size is too glaring to ignore. He’s got the speed to be a deep threat, but that’s not his game. Get the ball to him on the move, and let that 4.29 speed take off.
3. DT Christian Barmore, Alabama
It’s silly that he didn’t go in the first round. It’s not a great draft for tackles, but the difference between Barmore and the fourth-or-so best is massive. At 6-4 and 310 pounds he’s got the size, looks the part of an Alabama defensive tackle, and he’s ready right tout of the box.
2. LB Jeremiah Owusu-Oramoah, Notre Dame
A true tweener, he seemed like the perfect get for the Raiders at the 17, and he’d be exactly what Arizona wants if it didn’t get another super-athletic LB in Zaven Collins. He’s a bit undersized, but he flies to the ball and can do a little bit of everything.
1. S Trevon Moehrig, TCU
This should be a done deal if Urban Meyer really is going for the Best Player Available for Jacksonville – he has the first pick in the second round. It’s a light group overall at safety, but Moehrig is a different type of talent with the ability to be the quarterback of a secondary and be fantastic in coverage. He’s gone fast on Day Two.
