2021 NFL Draft OG rankings: Wyatt Davis and Alijah Vera-Tucker top list
By John Blair
15. Nolan Laufenberg, Air Force
6-foot-4, 330 pounds
2021 NFL Draft grade: Seventh round
Nolan Laufenberg has been one of the most dominant players in the Mountain West conferences over the past two seasons. He was named to the MWC all-conference team for two straight seasons and was the only Group of Five player to be named to the Pro Football Focus Preseason All-American team this year. He is a strong run blocker who could be a good fit with a team that runs a zone-blocking scheme.
16. David Moore, Grambling State
6-foot-2, 350 pounds
2021 NFL Draft grade: Seventh round
Grambling State’s David Moore had an outstanding Senior Bowl, which put him on the radar for many draft fans. However, when you look at his college film it is hard to get the impression that he lives up to the hype he is currently receiving. He was not named to the first or second-team all-conference team 2019 and looked average on film. His absence of college production, short arms, and lack of ideal size are why he earns such a low draft grade.
17. Kion Smith, Fayetteville State
6-foot-5, 295 pounds
2021 NFL Draft grade: Seventh round
A Division II offensive lineman to watch in the 2021 NFL Draft is Fayetteville State’s Kion Smith. Smith played left tackle for the Broncos and was named to the All-CIAA team. He also had a strong Tropical Bowl, which could lead to him getting drafted. Some of the positives with him include he was dominant at the small school level, he is a good athlete, and he has 34-inch arms. He is someone a team could take late and develop him on their practice squad.
