Touchdown Wire’s early 2021 NFL Draft watch list: Offense

Sure the 2020 NFL Draft just ended, but it is never too early to think about the next one. Here are the players to watch on offense.

Offensive Tackles

(Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports)

1. Penei Sewell, Oregon

2. Alex Leatherwood, Alabama

3. Samuel Cosmi, Texas

4. Walker Little, Stanford

5. Alaric Jackson, Iowa

6. Thayer Munford, Ohio State

7. Daniel Faalele, Minnesota

8. Liam Eichenberg, Notre Dame

9. Jackson Carman, Clemson

10. Adrian Ealy, Oklahoma

While this past season saw a quarterback and an EDGE defender come of the board in the first two picks, there is a chance that Oregon’s Penei Sewell cracks the top two in the 2021 NFL Draft. The Oregon tackle has allowed just one sack through the past two seasons, covering 1,376 offensive snaps, and he was awarded the Outland Trophy in 2019, given to the best interior lineman in the country. Cam Robinson was the last offensive tackle to win the award, back in 2016. But there are some other potential bookends in this group, such as Walker Little from Stanford and Alex Leatherwood from Alabama. We could also have another Iowa tackle crash the party, in the form of Alaric Jackson, who is going to be a four-year starting left tackle at Iowa. That carries some weight in the eyes of NFL evaluators.
