NFL Draft Player Scouting Reports
The NFL Scouting Combine was called off this year and that means that there is no “one-stop” shop for the top rookies of 2021. Instead, they will rely on Pro Days where colleges and universities will have their best players give workouts in front of any interested NFL scouts.
As with past years, we’ll be writing up each of the most notable fantasy football prospects. The order of those will largely follow their Pro Days since it is closest to an objective look at a player outside of the umbrella of a school’s PR department.
Unfortunately, comparing rookies is more difficult since they are not all at the same place, with the same conditions and catching or throwing passes with unfamiliar players. They’ll get the benefit of having practiced and played alongside other players from their school.
Below are the consensus picks for quarterbacks, running backs, tight ends and wide receivers from the projected first three rounds (Day 1 and 2).
