The 2021 NFL draft will take place in Cleveland, Ohio, beginning on April 29.
The draft will feature some of the city’s most notable venues, including the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, First Energy Stadium and the Great Lakes Science Center.
Several of this year’s top prospects are expected to be in Cleveland for the event: quarterbacks Mac Jones, Trey Lance and Zach Wilson; wide receivers Ja’Marr Chase, DeVonta Smith and Kaylen Waddle; tight end Kyle Pitts; offensive lineman Rashawn Slater; defensive lineman Christian Barmore; edge rusher Gregory Rousseau; linebacker Micah Parsons; and cornerbacks Caleb Farley and Patrick Suratin II. On top of those attending, 45 other draft prospects will participate virtually.
The Longhorns have eight prospects in this draft class and pass rusher Joseph Ossai and offensive tackle Samuel Cosmi are widely expected to be the first Texas players take off of the board.
Safety Caden Sterns, quarterback Sam Ehlinger and defensive lineman Ta’Quon Graham have a great chance to be selected on Day 3. Wide receivers Tarik Black and Brennan Eagles could be late sixth- or seventh-round selections. Defensive back Chris Brown is likely to become an undrafted free agent.
