2021 NFL Draft: Way too early top 32 Big Board features QBs, WRs galore
The 2021 NFL Draft doesn’t look like it’ll have a top tier edge rusher like the last two classes, at least for now. Gregory Rousseau looks like the best hope. Rousseau has a lot of potential, but has done his best work rushing from the interior. He will need to be more consistent this fall.
The Pittsburgh Panthers will have a few defenders to watch for in the upcoming season, but Jalen Twyman is the best of them. He has very good hand usage and is a very good pass rusher from the interior. A big step in 2020 will vault him into first-round conversation.
Marvin Wilson decided to return for his senior season, and that may prove smart. Wilson can stack and shed in the run game and has a powerful lower half to push the pocket. He could end up being the first defensive lineman taken in the 2021 NFL Draft.
The 2021 running back class has some talent to potentially rival the 2020 class, and it starts at the top with Travis Etienne. Etienne has the burst and long speed to be a game changer at running back. He needs to iron out some woes in the passing game and with ball security, but the traits are there.
Patrick Surtain II continues the pipeline of Alabama corners, and he already has gotten plenty of attention. Surtain has the size, length, and physicality to make the jump to the NFL after another season.
