Saints Draft Kawaan Baker
With the 255th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the New Orleans Saints have selected South Alabama wide receiver Kawaan Baker. A slot receiver with some nice speed, Baker had 51 receptions for 659 yards and eight touchdowns last year. He could be used as a gadget player and see some work in the backfield, […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoRams Take Wide Receiver Ben Skowronek
With the 249th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Rams have selected Notre Dame wide receiver Ben Skowronek. L.A. isn't a great landing spot at this point for a wide receiver hoping to make an impact in the league, but Skowronek has some nice size and could contribute on special teams, even […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoDolphins Take Running Back Gerrid Doaks
With the 244th pick of the 2021 NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins have selected Cincinnati running back Gerrid Doaks. Miami was a team that many thought would go running back earlier, but it appears they're good with rolling into 2021 with Myles Gaskin as the starter. Doaks was a surprising choice as he didn't come […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoPatriots Grab Receiver Tre Nixon
With the 242nd pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots have selected UCF wide receiver Tre Nixon. Seventh rounders don't see a lot of snaps in the NFL, but the Patriots have an unusually weak receiving group, so maybe Nixon could crack the rotation? He's not the most explosive player in this […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoRams Take Running Back Jake Funk
With the 233rd pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Rams have selected Maryland running back Jake Funk. Funk had multiple ACL injuries in college, but then had a solid senior season, with 60 carries for 516 yards in four games. If healthy, Funk could find some playing time, but the best projection […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoColts Draft Mike Strachan
With the first pick of the seventh round of the 2021 NFL Draft, the Indianapolis Colts have drafted Charleston wide receiver Mike Strachan. He had 27 touchdowns in his two seasons as a starter with the team, but it's always hard to know how a Division II player will adjust to the NFL. He's got […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoChicago Bears Draft Dazz Newsome
With the 221st pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears have selected North Carolina wide receiver Dazz Newsome. A 1,000 yard receiver in 2019, Newsome has 16 receiving touchdowns over the past two seasons. He's undersized, but has appeal as a slot project at the next level. Chicago could use some help at […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoBroncos Add Auburn Receiver Seth Williams
With the 219th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos have selected Auburn wide receiver Seth Williams. Williams is coming off of a 47-catch, 760-yard 2020 season that saw him catch four touchdowns. He's led the team in receiving two years in a row. He's not the most consistent receiver in the world, […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoColts Take Sam Ehlinger
With the 218th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Indianapolis Colts have selected Texas quarterback Sam Ehlinger. He'll compete with Jacob Eason for the backup job and could benefit even more if the Carson Wentz era doesn't go like the Colts want it to. Last year, Ehlinger completed 60.3 percent of his passes for […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoBears Draft Running Back Khalil Herbert
With the 217th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears have selected Virginia Tech running back Khalil Herbert. Herbert is an appealing prospect who had 1,182 rushing yards last season. He hasn't done a lot of receiving during his time in college but he's a quick back who hits the hole and makes […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoBrowns Draft Demetric Felton
With the 211th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns have drafted UCLA wide receiver Demetric Felton. The Pac 12 leader in all-purpose yards last year, Felton is a versatile option who can play anywhere on the field. He's got some nice acceleration that could allow him to make plays out of the […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoJaguars Take Jalen Camp
With the 209th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars have selected Georgia Tech wide receiver Jalen Camp. Camp never had more than 29 catches in a season at Georgia Tech and struggles as a route runner, but there's some appeal here because of his combination of size and speed. He could be […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoTitans Take LSU Receiver Racey McMath
With the 205th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Tennessee Titans have selected LSU wide receiver Racey McMath. McMath is the second Day 3 receiver for Tennessee following the drafting of Dez Fitzpatrick earlier in the day. McMath doesn't have much of a track record at LSU, but he was mired behind a lot […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoPanthers Take Shi Smith
With the 204th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Carolina Panthers have selected South Carolina wide receiver Shi Smith. Smith's a bit of a steal at this point, as he's a tough receiver who adds a physical element to the Panthers. He's coming off a 2020 campaign that saw him catch 57 passes for […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoBills 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 […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoBengals 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 […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoChargers 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, […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoGiants 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 […]
Justin Carter 4 years ago49ers 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 […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoFalcons 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 […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoKansas 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 […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoCowboys 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 […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoVikings 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 […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoChiefs 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 […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoVikings 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, […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoEagles 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 […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoBengals 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 […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoTexans 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, […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoJaguars 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 […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoRams 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 […]
