Top 105 2021 NFL Draft Prospects

32. CB/S Ifeatu Melifonwu, Syracuse

So where do you play him? Is he a 6-3, 205-pound dominant corner, or is he really more of a free roaming safety who brings ridiculous athleticism to the mix? The issue is his lack of a true position. Someone has to come up with a set idea of how to use him, but the tools are there.

31. LB Chazz Surratt, North Carolina

The former quarterback doesn’t exactly look or fit the type, but he’s always around the ball, thinks the game like a former top passing recruit, and has a world of upside still to go. He’s just starting as a big-time linebacker even though he already has most of the nuances down.

30. DT Marvin Wilson, Florida State

Don’t let him slip. Yeah, he dropped last year after adding some weight and not quite being up to his previous self in a lost year, if and when he gets it all together he might just be the best defensive tackle in the draft. It’ll all be about his conditioning.

29. DT Alim McNeill, NC State

A bit smallish for the position and without the right NFL look or feel, he might not be for everyone. However, in a light year for tackles, he’s an anchor with great strength in the interior. He can get in the backfield, though, and he’ll be a top leader for any D.

28. DT Jaylen Twyman, Pitt

Consider it a bit of a shocker if he lasts ten picks in the second round. He’s not your normal tackle, and he’s going to fall a wee bit because he didn’t play last year, but good luck finding a better prospect for the interior of the line.

27. S Jamar Johnson, Indiana

Not quite as heralded as some of the other top safeties, he’s not the athlete that Oregon’s Jevon Holland is and he doesn’t have Trevon Moehrig’s talent, but he makes a whole lot of plays. He’ll likely slip into a must-have on Day Three, but he’s worth a Friday pick.

26. S Hamsah Nasirildeen, Florida State

His knee. He should be okay, but he suffered an injury last year that dropped him down from a possible top 20 overall pick and the top safety to a potential Day Three guy. At 6-3 and 215 pounds with big hitting ability and the right attitude and personality, he’ll be a big-time find whenever teams figure out he’s still on the board.

25. CB Paulson Adebo, Stanford

Talent-wise, he has everything there to be the best corner in the draft outside of Patrick Surtain. So what’s the problem? He’s big, ridiculously fast, and he makes a ton of big plays. He didn’t play last year and was banged up. It’s been a while since he showed what he could do, and he fell off the radar.

24. QB Davis Mills, Stanford

You’re not crazy to think the 6-4, 217-pounder might just have the best pure NFL passing tools outside of Trevor Lawrence. He’s got the size, the stature, and the ability to grow into a special value pick, but he’ll need a bunch of time and he’ll have to take his lumps to see what his upside really is.

23. OT Walker Little, Stanford

When he was fully healthy, he looked and played like a possible top ten overall pick. But the injuries proved too costly and he hasn’t played in two years – he opted out last season. If he’s right, though, he’s got the size and talent to be a phenomenal pick just outside of the top 50.

22. DT Tyler Shelvin, LSU

He’ll drop too far because he does just one thing – he holds the line. Don’t expect him to get in any backfield, and some might not dig the 6-2, 350-pound look, but he’ll stuff everything up the middle.

21. DE Rashad Weaver, Pitt

While he’s not the ideal technical pass rusher, and he’s not a flash considering his tweener size, he gets into the backfield in a variety of ways. He was banged up, but whenever he was healthy he produced and hit lots of guys behind the line. He’s a good-value pass rusher – even if that’s not until the third round.

2021 NFL Draft: 5 Most Underrated Prospects, From The College Perspective

2021 NFL Draft: Before this all gets going, from the college perspective who are the five most underrated prospects?

2021 NFL Draft: Before this all gets going, from the college perspective who are the five most underrated prospects?

I know all too well how the NFL scouting and draft world works, but I’m a college football guy. I see this thing from a slightly different angle.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m 100% all about the freakish rare-human tools that separate the potential NFL starters from the rest of the pack, but sometimes the obvious gets overlooked. It’s as simple as this …

[mm-video type=playlist id=01f1343a1wt7q817p7 player_id=none image=https://collegefootballnews.com/wp-content/plugins/mm-video/images/playlist-icon.png]

Is the prospect going to be a good NFL football player and/or does he have something that could make him special? Okay, so where’s the love in the draft and scouting process?

Sometimes I get this really, really right (Lamar Jackson, Colin Kaepernick, Arian Foster, DK Metcalf), and sometimes I get this horribly, horribly wrong (DeShone Kizer, Josh Rosen, Taylor Mays, Malcolm Kelly).

Who are the five most underappreciated, underloved, and underrated prospects in the 2021 NFL Draft? These guys will go later than they should, and they’ll be wonderful gets after Day One.

5. DEs Rashard Weaver & Patrick Jones, Pitt

Projected Round: Weaver 5, Jones 4

I’m starting this with two at the same position at the same school. The 6-4, 261-pound Jones will likely drop out of the top 100 picks because he doesn’t have quite the right look, power and flash you might want as an edge rusher, but he produced at a high level for three seasons and he should be a nice mid-round pass rushing situational find.

Weaver is a 6-4, 259-pound pure pass rusher who’ll find his way to the quarterback. A knee injury derailed him along the way, and he was lumbering through drills – he only ran a 4.85 – but he’s going to be a part of your rotation because he’s going to hit the other team’s passer.

4. QB Jamie Newman, Wake Forest/Georgia

Projected Round: 5

No one seems to have suffered more in the draft process by opting out of the 2020 season – he did so because of Covid concerns.

Newman was solid at Wake Forest and he could’ve blown up as the starter for Georgia, but now he’s just a flier of a prospect who’ll go in the later rounds.

He’s 6-3, 234 pounds, has a stronger arm than most quarterbacks who’ll be taken ahead of him, and all that’s missing is a little bit of time.

He only had one season as a starting quarterback, and there’s the issue. He’s not ready right now, and in today’s NFL that’s not okay. Everything is there, though, to develop into a starter once he gets enough time to work through the growing pains.

3. DT Marvin Wilson & S Hamsah Nasirildeen, Florida State

Projected Round: Wilson 4, Nasirildeen 4

These two have something else in common other than being from Florida State – they’re among the best leaders in the 2021 NFL Draft class.

Last year at this time it seemed like Marvin Wilson was destined to be a first rounder. He’s got the 6-4, 303-pound NFL size, the anchor ability, and the type of personality to make a defense his. He has to keep his weight down, he has to get healthy, and he has to look like the 2018 and 2019 version, but he’ll be a terrific pro.

The 6-3, 215-pound Nasirildeen might be tall and lean, but he’s a terrific tackler, the right tone-setting guy for your locker room, and he erases matchup problem receivers. However, he’s dropping because of a knee injury – give him a year and he’s a stat-sheet filling starter.

2. DT Jay Tufele, USC

Projected Round: 4

I honestly don’t get this one. He’s a first round talent who’ll probably drop to the third round.

Okay, so he’s 6-2, 305 and not the ideal size for a defensive tackle, but good luck finding a quicker and more explosive prospect for the interior.

He might need to be surrounded with thumpers and run stuffers, but for the modern NFL where you need pass rushers at every spot up front, here you go. He’s suffering from opting out – the momentum for his draft stock slowed to a crawl – but he’ll get into an NFL camp and a coaching staff will fall in love.

1. CB Paulson Adebo, Stanford

Projected Round: 3

It’s a corner-rich draft and Adebo – sort of like a few guys on this list – might be suffering from NFL scouting out-of-sight-out-of-mind issues. He opted out last season, and his draft stock dropped.

6-1, 198-pound size, 4.4 speed, and a whole lot of production – 97 tackles, 8 interceptions, 27 broken up passes – there’s no real knock other than the NFL basically forgot about him.

He’s not a great tackler, but he’s good enough. He’s been banged up, and he missed a few too many makable plays for someone with his talent, but he’s going to be an NFL starter – and possibly an elite one – after the first 50 picks.

30. WR Juwan Johnson, Oregon

Okay, so he doesn’t have the blazing wheels, and he wasn’t quite as consistent or as devastating as he should’ve been, but he’s a 6-4, 230-pound matchup problem who should’ve been taken as a flier at some point on Saturday. There’s too much upside – and size – to ignore.
Signed By: COMING
Projected Round: Sixth

29. DT Darrion Daniels, Nebraska

A bit overloved by some throughout the offseason draft process, the 6-3, 311-pounder fell out of the draft with his lack of the NFL tools to be an every down starter. He’s a good worker who’ll do what’s needed, but he’s a backup for the interior rotation.
Signed By: COMING
Projected Round: Sixth

28. CB Lamar Jackson, Nebraska

Where do you want to play him? He’s a corner, but he’s 6-2 and 208 pounds with the versatility to work as a safety somewhere. The bulk is in place, and he can hit, but he’s just okay in coverage.
Signed By: New York Jets
Projected Round: Seventh

27. WR Binjimen Victor, Ohio State

With 6-4 size, great hands, and an excellent reel of good moment as a Buckeye, he should’ve gone before the seventh round as a good shot for the stars. He might not have tremendous wheels, but he’s fast enough to find a role.
Signed By: COMING
Projected Round: Sixth

26. DE LaDarius Hamilton, North Texas

The 6-2, 262-pound size was a problem. He’s not tall enough, he doesn’t have the right frame, and he just doesn’t look the part of an NFL end. He’s not bulky enough to work inside, even though he’ll do anything to make the play.
Signed By: Dallas
Projected Round: Seventh

25. DE Malcolm Roach, Texas

Where does he work on the line? The 6-2, 297-pounder is a smallish tackle who doesn’t play like one, and he’s not a normal pass rusher for the outside. There’s enough to like as a possible versatile backup.
Signed By: New Orleans
Projected Round: Seventh

24. CB AJ Green, Oklahoma State

The 6-2, 202-pound size makes up for his lack of next-level speed. There’s a good college resumé to like, but he’s a bit too much of a tweener for the NFL. He’s really a safety, but he’ll try to make a team as a corner.
Signed By: COMING
Projected Round: Sixth

[lawrence-related id=510908]

23. DT Josiah Coatney, Ole Miss

The lack of raw bulk is too much of a problem. He’s just 6-3 and 308 pounds, and he doesn’t have the athleticism to overcome his inability to bring the thump. However, he holds up well for his size against the run.
Signed By: COMING
Projected Round: Sixth

22. WR Austin Mack, Ohio State

This is a bit strange. Yeah, there isn’t any one thing that made him stand out from the pick of receivers, but he’s 6-2 and 208 pounds with good route-running ability, good toughness, and enough to be a No. 3 NFL receiver. He fell through the cracks.
Signed By: COMING
Projected Round: Sixth

21. RB James Robinson, Illinois State

It’s hard being a running back prospect. He’s not all that big, but he’s compact, tough, and he’ll bring the power for his 5-9, 219-pound size. There aren’t a lot of wow parts to his game, but he’s a productive talent who could fit nicely in a rotation.

2020 NFL Draft: 32 Best Players Available For Round Two

Who are the best players still on the board after the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft?

[jwplayer 6dOV6IfL]

Who are the best players still on the board after the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft?

Contact @PeteFiutak

32. DT Leki Fotu, Utah

The idea of the run-stopping 330-pound defensive tackle doesn’t really move the first round needle like it should in the first round. Fotu is athletic enough to get into the backfield once in a while, but he’s mostly a foundation brick piece for a line.

31. OT Joshua Jones, Houston

He’s everything you could want looks-wise in an NFL offensive tackle, but he’s not quite the sure thing many would like. He has to be more consistent, but he’s got the tools most of the tackles in the draft are missing. Don’t be stunned if Cincinnati grabs him at the 33 to protect Joe Franchise.

30. DE Curtis Weaver, Boise State

Blow off that he’s only 6-2. You like pass rushers, NFL, right? You like guys who always seem like they’re in the backfield, right? He’s not going to look the part, and he might drop to the third round because of it, but he’ll be the star of someone’s camp.

29. WR Bryan Edwards, South Carolina

The lack of flash is going to knock him down a bit, but he’s a big body target who could turn into a go-to No. 1 receiver on the right team. He’d be an ideal fit for Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay.

28. RB AJ Dillon, Boston College

He’s too much of a throwback for a position that covets pizazz. If you want your thumper who also happens to run a 4.5, here you go. Give him the ball, and then give it to him again. And then again.

27. WR Michael Pittman, USC

The only way to describe him is a professional wide receiver. He’s not going to do anything with jazz hands, but he’ll do everything you want, including block. He’ll make a fabulous No. 2 option.

26. DT DaVon Hamilton, Ohio State

He might be a wanted man early on Friday. Only two defensive tackles – Derrick Brown and Javon Kinlaw – were selected, and Hamilton is a different type. He’s the big body you work around – some defensive coordinator will want him as the team’s anchor.

25. LB Anfernee Jennings, Alabama

While his final year actually turned out to be solid, he still never blew up into the devastating pass rusher it seemed like he’d be. The top 20 overall talent and tools are there to take a no-risk flier in the late second round.

24. RB Cam Akers, Florida State

There’s a real chance he’ll turn out to be one of the draft’s biggest steals. He never had any room to work at Florida State, and there’s a shot he blows up now that he gets to operate behind an NFL offensive front.

[lawrence-related id=511339]

23. S Ashtyn Davis, Cal

The NFL is dogging the position, not the man when it comes to safeties. There’s no real knock on Davis other than that he played a position that doesn’t get any love. He’s as good a tackling defensive back as there is in the draft.

22. DE Raekwon Davis, Alabama

You’re not going to get a bajillion sacks, but he’s an Alabama defense lineman – he’s big, he’s sound, and he’ll bring everything in the toolbox as an instant factor in the rotation.

21. QB Jalen Hurts, Oklahoma

This is going to be fun. At some point around the mid-50s, someone will hit that moment when it’ll be time to take the home run cut. He might not be a perfect NFL passing fit, but with a creative offensive coordinator, Hurts might just find a role.
