The 2021 NFL Draft class might not be the deepest in recent memory due to a lot of players taking the extra year of eligibility they received because of Covid. However, on this 2021 NFL Draft board, we still have 262 players which is just one more player than the amount of draft picks in the 2021 NFL Draft. We also have a relatively talented draft class as the top seven players in this class all have Hall of Fame potential.

On this draft board, you will see all draftable players ranked regardless of position along with what 2021 NFL Draft round grade they received. Please note the round they are assigned is where I would take them in the 2021 NFL Draft. This was not based on how many picks that round had, but where I would take them in the 2021 NFL Draft which is the same method most NFL teams use.

Overall, the breakdown for draft grades in the 2021 NFL Draft is as followed:

2021 NFL Draft first-round grade: 31 players
2021 NFL Draft second-round grade: 35 players
2021 NFL Draft third-round grades: 28 players|
2021 NFL Draft fourth-round grades: 37 players
2021 NFL Draft fifth-round grades: 38 players
2021 NFL Draft sixth-round grade:  52 players
2021 NFL Draft seventh-round: 41 players

A position breakdown for each position will also be posted on NFL Mocks over the next two weeks leading up to the 2021 NFL Draft.
