124. Scouting Report. Center. Oklahoma. player. Pick Analysis. Creed Humphrey. 31

The Super Bowl, while not completely telling, showed us that no matter how talented the quarterback, the offensive line has to be able to hold up in pass protection. The Kansas City Chiefs need to address the offensive line in the 2021 NFL Draft, as the majority of their offensive line will be free agents within the next year.

Creed Humphrey is the pick for the Chiefs here in round one. He played center for the Sooners but should have no issue moving to guard if necessary. Humphrey is tough, has great balance, and is tough to move off his spot. He will be an asset in pass protection as a rookie.

Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Penn State. Jayson Oweh. 32. Edge. player. 48

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers should have fun sitting at the number 32 pick, especially with the roster they have constructed. There’s a good chance that both Lavonte David and Chris Godwin will be back in 2021, leaving edge rusher Shaq Barrett as the casualty from limited cap space.

You can never have too many pass rushers, and in a deeper class, finding a top guy early in the 2021 NFL Draft makes sense. Jayson Oweh fits the bill of a twitchy pass rusher who can get snaps early in his career. His first step and quickness to corner the edge will make the Buccaneers potent once again on defense in 2021.
