The NFL Draft is less than a month away, and most pro days are behind us. With the picture becoming clearer by the day, I’ve finally put together my positional rankings. This article provides my top ten players at each position along with their pro day numbers and some brief insights. Check out my top 100 big board for more in-depth analysis.
I used the college heights and weights for players when pro day measurements weren’t available.

Everyone feels comfortable with the top five quarterbacks in this class. I think there’s a significant drop-off after Fields, but more talented analysts still have Lance and Jones as top 15 picks. Outside of that elite class, there’s little hope for finding a starter. The Senior Bowl’s Jim Nagy tried pushing the idea of Mills or Mond going in the second-round, but I don’t believe they have that value.
The 2018 NFL Draft saw five quarterbacks go in the first-round. There was some hype immediately before the draft that Mason Rudolph might sneak into the bottom of the first. He didn’t go until the third-round. I think we’ll see a similar scenario play out in 2021.

This year’s running back class has three legitimate workhorses and then a bunch of rotational players. Carter and Gainwell are fantastic in space, but they can’t face stacked boxes. Sermon and Stevenson could emerge as bell cow backs in 2021, but they aren’t long-term solutions. It doesn’t help their draft stock that last year’s class had six starters.
I classified Demetric Felton as a wide receiver after his Senior Bowl performance, which is why he doesn’t crack the top ten here. If I viewed Felton as a running back, he would’ve claimed a spot in the seven to nine range.

It’s almost not worth signing wide receivers in free agency anymore, given how loaded these recent draft classes are. Six to seven different wide receiver prospects received serious first-round hype over the past few months. While I ultimately only have first-round marks on five receivers, it comes down to what teams are looking for in their pass catchers.
This wide receiver class is deeper than any other position in the 2021 NFL Draft. Some rankings have potential Day 2 or early Day 3 selections like Amon-Ra St. Brown, Nico Collins, D’Wayne Eskridge, Demetric Felton, and Tylan Wallace in the top ten. Impact players like Jaelon Darden, Dazz Newsome, Cornell Powell, and Sage Surratt might not hear their names called until the late-rounds.

The 2021 and 2020 tackle classes are two of the best in recent history. The top three tackles in this class separated themselves from the rest of the pack, but we could see seven tackles go in the first-round.
I cut the list off at ten, but 14 tackles have second-round potential. Jackson Carman almost topped Mayfield for the tenth spot, and I could see Spencer Brown, Brady Christensen, or James Hudson sneaking into the top 64 selections. Keep an eye on Florida’s Stone Forsythe as a potential late-round steal.

While the 2021 NFL Draft features quality starting-caliber selections in the mid-rounds, there’s a significant drop-off after the top four interior linemen. Meinerz is still unproven against high-level competition, while Brown, Cleveland, and Smith all have concerns regarding their ability to thrive in the run and pass games simultaneously.
Despite those concerns, this is a deep class for interior offensive linemen. Players like Sadarius Hutcherson, Drake Jackson, Tommy Kraemer, and David Moore could see significant snaps as rookies.

Tight end is always one of the draft’s weakest positions. Only one tight end went in the first two rounds last year before a deluge flew off the board in Round 3 and Round 4. Outside of Pitts, who’s in a class of his own, I see two potential second-round tight ends and three total legitimate pass catchers with at least third-round grades.
Tremble is only one spot behind Long on these rankings, but his game is entirely different. The Notre Dame product might transition to fullback in the NFL. He’s by far the best blocking tight end in this draft.
Poljan is the other really interesting prospect. He started as a quarterback at Central Michigan before switching to tight end and transferring to Virginia. Logan Thomas on the Washington Football Team successfully underwent a similar transition in the NFL.

The interior defensive line class is dangerous. It features a bunch of players with high upsides but huge question marks and notable inconsistencies on tape. Barmore has the highest ceiling as a pass rusher while Onwuzurike shines against the run. Nixon has several explosive plays on tape, but there’s no consistency to his play.
While the 2021 draft doesn’t offer many stable traditional defensive tackles, McNeill, Shelvin, and Togiai could inject new life into the nose tackle market.
Despite this group’s shortcomings, there’s good depth along the interior defensive line. Khyiris Tonga, Tedarrell Slaton, and Jaylen Twyman didn’t even crack the top ten.

This year’s edge class is deep and exciting. Hamilcar Rashed Jr., Janarius Robinson, Cameron Sample, Jordan Smith, and Payton Turner didn’t even crack the top ten. There’s a good combination of 3-4 outside linebackers and 4-3 defensive ends too.
Phillips is by far the best pass rusher in this class, but his history of concussions could hurt on draft day. He might even fall out of the first-round. Ojulari and Paye are first-round locks at this point, with Oweh and Rousseau banging on the door. Basham is a highly underrated member of this class.

Parsons stands alone as the best linebacker in this class, but off-field issues and character concerns could result in a draft day tumble. Four linebackers went in the first-round in 2020, and I think we could see the same result this year. While it’s hard to find the perfect fit for Owusu-Koramoah in mock drafts, he’s too much of a chess piece to fall past 32.
I’m a huge fan of Collins and his versatility, but it doesn’t feel like NFL teams are as excited. Bolton is the classic MIKE thumper. Cox is a coverage specialist, but Davis is perhaps the biggest unknown entering the draft. He was a one-year wonder at Kentucky but had one of the best pro day performances this year. There’s a chance he climbs into the first-round.

Farley is still my top cornerback, even with the back surgeries. He’s physically different. I haven’t seen a defensive back with his combination of ball skills, fluidity, height, length, and speed in years. Based purely on skill, Farley is worth a top ten pick. Surtain and Horn are also trending toward top ten territory after impressive pro days.
This cornerback class has a chance to be special. Paulson Adebo, Aaron Robinson, Benjamin St-Juste, and Trill Williams are all worth mid-round picks, while Shakur Brown and Tay Gowan are high-upside late-round selections that could sneak into the top 150 picks.

There’s a drop-off after the first three safeties in this class, but they were all impact players in college. Ford might fall into the seventh-round after a horrendous pro day. I considered replacing him with Joshuah Bledsoe, Richard LeCounte III, or Caden Sterns. Even with Ford suffering a significant setback, this is a fun group that I hope gets plenty of opportunities in the NFL.
Grant, Holland, Moehrig should all claim starting jobs immediately. We might have to wait a few years before Cisco and the other members of the Day 2 group see significant starts, but plans change quickly. Julian Blackmon, Jordan Fuller, and Kamren Curl all earned at least 11 starts as rookies last year despite mid to late-round draft pedigree.
