2021 NFL Draft: First-Round mock draft using Madden 20 sim for draft order
Alabama. 31. player. 26. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. WR. DeVonta Smith
The Baltimore Ravens are our Super Bowl runners up in this mock draft and are able to find a potential massive steal here at No. 31. DeVonta Smith could easily end up being one of the top wide receivers in the 2021 NFL Draft class. He is a quick and smooth receiver who is a tremendous route runner and shows strong run after catch ability.
The only issue here is his body type. He is listed at 6-foot-1, 175 pounds and seems even thinner than that. Smith has an extremely slight frame and it is fair to wonder whether he will hold up in the NFL.
That being said, Smith is an extremely talented player who could grow into a true number one receiver for this team. Getting Lamar Jackson a dynamic weapon like Smith would be a nightmare for the rest of the AFC.
QB. Scouting Report. Iowa State. Brock Purdy. 32. player. 15. Pick Analysis
The New Orleans Saints are undoubtedly one of the most talented teams in the entire NFL and legitimate Super Bowl contenders. It should be no surprise that they win it all in this Madden simulation and now, they look to add more impact talent to their roster.
If the Saints actually go out and win the Super Bowl next season, quarterback Drew Brees could easily just retire on top. Maybe they have more confidence in Jameis Winston than most of us, but quarterback should undoubtedly be on the radar here.

Brock Purdy is not the most exciting quarterback prospect in the 2021 NFL Draft class, but he is a smart and accurate passer who shines in the short-to-intermediate range. Purdy is also a tough and mobile quarterback who shows an impressive ability to improvise in important situations. Whether he would start right away or not, Purdy would be a worthy addition for the Saints here at No. 32.
