2021 NFL Draft best sixth-round pick: Stone Forsythe, Seattle Seahawks (208th overall)

Stone Forsythe seemed to be getting some hype late in the 2021 NFL Draft process but still fell far down the board. Considered by some to be a likely Day 2 pick, Forsythe did not end up coming off of the board until the sixth round, landing with the Seattle Seahawks at No. 208 overall.

Forsythe is a long and athletic offensive tackle prospect who shows exciting upside in pass protection. He is a true left tackle prospect who could quickly grow into a starting offensive tackle at the next level, which would be huge for Seattle who is always looking for offensive line help.

Forsythe has some functional strength concerns and needs to improve overall as a run blocker, but he is undoubtedly a talented player who could fill an important need for this team. Seattle found tremendous value with the selection of Forsythe in the sixth.

2021 NFL Draft best seventh-round pick: James Wiggins, Arizona Cardinals (243rd overall)

James Wiggins falling this far in the 2021 NFL Draft was a major mistake for 31 NFL teams. The Arizona Cardinals being able to snag an athlete of his caliber at No. 243 overall is absolute robbery.

Wiggins is a quick and explosive athlete at the safety position who plays downhill well and shows great range on the back-end. He flashes impressive ball skills in coverage and consistently covers a ton of ground no matter where he lines up.

Make no mistake about it, Wiggins is an exciting player who has upside on the defensive side of the ball. But at worst, he should be able to come in and make an immediate impact for Arizona on special teams.
