The first round of the 2021 NFL draft was, as always, an absolutely wild ride. Normal draft day chaos was dialed up by a strange COVID-altered college season and several unexpected trades. With the first 32 picks in the books and the first day of action in the rearview mirror, the second wave of picks is set to be held on Friday evening.
Not as much attention is placed on Day 2 of the draft, but it’s just as unpredictable. For example, former Florida wide receiver Kadarius Toney was anticipated to be drafted early on in the second round due to a deep class of pass-catchers coming out of college this year. However, he joined ex-Gator Kyle Pitts in the first round of picks, rendering the conversation of who could pick him on Friday totally moot.
Despite the headliners coming off the board on Thursday, some Florida alum will in the mix to be drafted in the second or third of the 2021 NFL draft. Let’s take a look at the three most likely to be picked.
