Bills Draft Marquez Stevenson

With the 203rd pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Buffalo Bills have selected Houston wide receiver Marquez Stevenson. Stevenson led the Cougars in receiving twice during his time in Houston, including 2018, when he caught 75 passes for 1,019 yards and nine touchdowns. Stevenson’s big strength is his speed, which could pair nicely with quarterback Josh Allen and his strong arm if Stevenson is

Bengals Select Running Back Chris Evans

With the 202nd pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Cincinnati Bengals have selected Michigan running back Chris Evans. The former Wolverine had just 16 carries for 73 yards last season and last saw serious work back in 2018, so there’s a lot of concern here in terms of what Evans can be at the next level. He flashed some good pass-catching ability in college

Chargers Draft Larry Rountree III

With the 198th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Chargers have selected Missouri running back Larry Rountree III. He joins a Chargers backfield headed by Austin Ekeler but that has some room for someone to do some early-down work for the team. He saw 209 carries last season to just 15 receptions, so Rountree certainly fits the profile of what Los Angeles

Giants Take Gary Brightwell In Sixth Round

With the 196th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the New York Giants drafted Arizona running back Gary Brightwell. Arizona’s rushing leader last season, Brightwell’s numbers don’t pop much on paper, but he’s spent time in his career as a slot receiver and could see some passing down work. But with Saquon Barkley as the three-down back in New York, there’s not a lot of

49ers Draft Running Back Elijah Mitchell

With the 194th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the San Francisco 49ers selected Lousiana running back Elijah Mitchell. This is the second running back picked by the 49ers in this draft after Ohio State’s Trey Sermon in the third round. Mitchell had 41 rushing touchdowns and five receiving touchdowns over his four seasons in college. He can be a solid NFL backup somewhere, but

Falcons Take Receiver Frank Darby

With the 187th pick of the 2021 NFL Draft, the Atlanta Falcons have selected Arizona State wide receiver Frank Darby. Darby’s path to snaps this year might depend on what happens with the Julio Jones trade rumors, as the Falcons with Jones don’t seem like they’ll have a lot of available snaps at receiver. Darby had just six catches for 46 yards and a touchdown

Kansas City Chiefs Draft Cornell Powell

With the 181st pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs have selected Clemson wide receiver Cornell Powell. The Chiefs saw Sammy Watkins depart this offseason and then didn’t really fill that hole on their roster, so while Powell is a fifth-round pick, there’s a reasonable chance that he ends up seeing the field this year as a fourth receiver. Powell is coming

Cowboys Draft Simi Fehoko

With the 179th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys have selected Stanford wide receiver Simi Fehoko. The big-bodied receiver had 37 catches last year for 574 yards and three touchdowns. He set the school’s single-game reception record with 16 catches against UCLA. The Cowboys have three strong receivers on their team, but with Michael Gallup‘s future beyond 2021 in question because of

Vikings Select Tight End Zach Davidson

With 168th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings have selected Central Missouri tight end Zach Davidson. Davidson who also played punter in college didn’t play last season because the pandemic canceled his team’s season, but in 2019 he had 40 catches for 894 yards and 15 touchdowns while being named First Team All-MIAA at both punter and tight end. There’s a lot

Chiefs Draft Tight End Noah Gray

With the 162nd pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs have selected tight end Noah Gray. Obviously, Kansas City isn’t a great landing spot for any tight end since they have the league’s best one in Travis Kelce, but Gray will have a chance to play in two tight end sets if he can improve as a blocker. He’s an athletic pass

Vikings Take Receiver Ihmir Smith-Marsette

With the 157th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings have drafted Iowa wide receiver Ihmir Smith-Marsette. Smith-Marsette caught 25 passes for 345 yards last season. His best college season was in 2019, when he caught 44 passes for 722 yards and five touchdowns. Iowa isn’t a program known for producing wide receivers, but Smith-Marsette’s speed makes him someone who can stretch NFL

Eagles Draft Kenneth Gainwell

With the 150th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles have selected Memphis running back Kenneth Gainwell. Gainwell joins a backfield that’s headed by Miles Sanders but that has room for someone else to get some additional looks as Sanders’ primary backup. Gainwell is one of the most interesting prospects in this class and has some appeal as a playmaker who can get

Bengals Take Kicker Evan McPherson

With the 149th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Cincinnati Bengals have selected Florida kicker Evan McPherson. The top kicker in this class, McPherson converted 85 percent of his field goals and 99.3 percent of his extra points over his three years in Gainesville. Considering Bengals kicker Randy Bullock had his second-worst season in terms of field goal percentage last season, this seems like

Texans Draft Brevin Jordan

With the 147th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Houston Texans have selected Miami tight end Brevin Jordan. Arguably one of the three best tight end prospects in this draft class, the Texans got a potential steal here in the fifth round. Jordan had 38 catches for 576 yards and seven touchdowns last season, leading the Hurricanes in touchdowns. He’s not the best blocker

Jaguars Select Luke Farrell

With the 145th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars have selected Ohio State tight end Luke Farrell. Farrell wasn’t among the top tight end prospects in this draft class, making the selection a little puzzling. He had just five catches this past season for the Buckeyes and four touchdowns over his four seasons in Columbus. Farrell can block at the NFL level,

Rams Draft Jacob Harris

With the 141st pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Rams have drafted UCF wide receiver/tight end Jacob Harris. Regardless of what position Harris sticks at in the NFL, the Rams are a tough spot for him to find minutes, as they already took Louisville receiver Tutu Atwell in the second, plus have Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp at receiver and Tyler Higbee

Saints Take Quarterback Ian Book

With the 133rd pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Saints have finally addressed their quarterback position, grabbing Notre Dame passer Ian Book. With all-time great quarterback Drew Brees retiring, there are lots of questions about what the post-Brees era looks like. The expectation is Jameis Winston starts in 2021, but there’s no guarantee that he’s a long-term option for the franchise. Could Book be

Ravens Draft Tylan Wallace

With the 131st pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Baltimore Ravens have selected Oklahoma State wide receiver Tylan Wallace. Wallace is the second receiver the team has taken in this year’s draft after they grabbed Rashod Bateman in the first. With Marquise Brown also on the roster and this team focusing a lot on the running game and on throwing to tight ends, it’s

Buccaneers Grab Jaelon Darden At 129

With the 129th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have selected North Texas wide receiver Jaelon Darden. One of the most intriguing players in this draft, Darden was a monster for the Mean Green, catching 74 passes last year for 1,190 yards and 19 touchdowns, setting a school record for receiving TDs. He’s an undersized receiver, but he’s also incredibly fast

Colts Select Tight End Kylen Granson

With the 127th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Indianapolis Colts have selected SMU tight end Kylen Granson. A surprising pick this early, Granson led SMU in receiving touchdowns last season and was a productive receiver in college, though he played at the Group of Five level. He’s a little undersized for an NFL tight end and is likely to struggle as a blocker,

With the 203rd pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Buffalo Bills have selected Houston wide receiver Marquez Stevenson.
