2021 NFL Draft - 1st Round Grades

 

First round grades with some commentary because I was watching with friend and was travelling all day today.

1)     Jacksonville Jaguars – Trevor Lawrence, QB, Clemson – Grade: A+

The right pick, the pick we expected. Let’s move on.

2)     New York Jets – Zach Wilson, QB, BYU – Grade: C-

I have Wilson as my 5th QB in this draft. I don’t see it as a laugher, but I think this should have been Lance or Fields.

3)     San Francisco 49ers from Miami – Trey Lance, QB, North Dakota State – Grade: B+

Lance was my QB3 after Fields and Lawrence but he’s a really interesting QB and going to a great offensive situation with Kyle Shanahan.

4)     Atlanta Falcons – Kyle Pitts, TE, Florida – Grade: A-

Maybe the most athletically gifted player in the draft and an outlier at his position both in the draft and once he’s in the league. He’s an adequate blocker but will make this Falcons defense incredibly difficult to defend.

5)     Cincinnati Bengals – Je’Marr Chase, WR, LSU – Grade: A+

Best receiver in the draft, not sure he’s generational like many think but he’s still a great player. Now, they just have to keep Burrow upright.

6)     Miami Dolphins from Philadelphia – Jaylen Waddle, WR, Alabama – Grade: A

7)     Detroit Lions – Penei Sewell, OT, Oregon – Grade: B+

8)     Carolina Panthers – Jaycee Horn, CB, South Carolina – Grade: A-
