Two weeks out from the NFL draft means it’s time to unveil the big board. Here are the top 103 players I evaluated for the 2021 NFL Draft.
- Trevor Lawrence, QB, Clemson. Consensus No. 1 overall pick for good reason. He’s got All-Pro potential, perhaps early in his career. He’s not perfect but few QBs have ever entered the NFL with more positive traits. His floor is being Andrew Luck 2.0.
- Justin Fields, QB, Ohio State. Fields has all the trappings of a great franchise QB, from arm talent to athleticism to proven leadership and playing bigger in big games. High-end prospect who transcends the college helmet that scares far too many from trusting him.
- Jaylen Waddle, WR, Alabama. Dynamic speed with rare agility in the open field. Fundamentally alters the defense with his speed and playmaking ability a la Tyreek Hill, but he’s a more polished receiver coming out. He’s not big and could stand to play stronger, but Waddle is a premium receiver who can align all over a formation and dictate coverages and mismatches.
- Kyle Pitts, TE, Florida. Special receiving talent that happens to primarily play TE. Compares more to DK Metcalf or Mike Evans than other tight ends, however. Big, smooth, physical and capable of lining up in-line, flexed or even as the Z receiver. Can make his QB a lot better, no matter the QB.
