Round 6: Austin Watkins Jr. | WR | UAB

Circle this name as a sleeper in the 2021 draft class. The 6-3, 205-pound cousin of Sammy Watkins is a supremely talented pass-catcher who’s been an afterthought in the run-up to the 2021 draft so far.

That should change with a big week at the Senior Bowl and all of the upcoming NFL draft events. I currently have Watkins graded as a third-round talent, so landing him in Round 6 would qualify as a major steal on my board.

Coming out of this draft class with a wide receiver depth chart that includes Darnell Mooney, Rashod Bateman, and Watkins should have every Bears fan excited.
