2021 NFL Draft: Round 1, 23rd Overall

Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. EDGE. Michigan. Kwity Paye. 23. 35. player

Kwity Paye will be stepping into a full-time role for Michigan for the first time this season and should be able to take his 2021 NFL Draft stock to the next level. Paye is a big and strong edge defender who shows the ability to set the edge and win with power in bull rush situations. While Paye undoubtedly looks like more of a power player on the edge, do not sleep on his speed and quickness.

Paye is quick off of the ball and shows surprising upfield burst for such a big player. He can win with speed around the edge at times and is particularly explosive when closing on the quarterback. Paye is a bit of a project player, but his combination of power and quickness needs to be taken seriously. The Titans need to add some quality depth on the edge and Paye feels like a perfect fit for the team.

2021 NFL Draft: Round 1, 24th Overall

Scouting Report. OL. 24. Pick Analysis. Alabama. Alex Leatherwood. player. 16

The Buffalo Bills have done a nice job of improving their offensive line in recent years and the success of the group has been a major reason for their overall success. That being said, Daryl Williams and Jon Feliciano will both hit free agency this offseason and the Bills could easily move on from Quinton Spain if they wish. This team could easily be looking to address their offensive line situation in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Alex Leatherwood has had success at both right guard and left tackle at Alabama. He is a tough and physical player who shines as a run blocker and shows impressive movement skills in pass protection. Whether the Bills would groom Leatherwood as a tackle or a guard, it is easy to see how he would be a valuable asset for them up front.
