2021 NFL Draft: Recap and analysis of every pick for all 32 teams

1 (19): Jamin Davis, LB, Kentucky

One of the more freakishly athletic linebacker prospects you’ll ever see, Jamin Davis has huge upside playing for Ron Rivera behind arguably the best defensive line in the NFL. He will be free to make plays and use his athletic talent and range.

2 (51): Samuel Cosmi, OT, Texas

The Washington Football Team cleared up a major need at left tackle with this pick and they are rumored to possibly also be going after veteran Charles Leno Jr. That move might allow Cosmi to move inside and give this team an impressive starting five on the offensive line to protect Ryan Fitzpatrick.

3 (74): Benjamin St. Juste, CB, Minnesota

NFL teams got the chance at a lot of cornerback prospects with tremendous length and St. Juste is a fascinating upside play on day two. He had 13 passes broken up in his last 18 games for the Gophers.

3 (82): Dyami Brown, WR, North Carolina

Washington continues to assemble one of the most fun groups of offensive skill players in the league. They already have a star in Terry McLaurin, they added his former college teammate Curtis Samuel in free agency, and Antonio Gibson was one of the more productive rookies in the NFL in 2020.

Dyami Brown offers explosive ability out of the slot and had 20 touchdown receptions in his last 106 catches.

4 (124): John Bates, TE, Boise State

Logan Thomas has developed into one of the better receiving tight ends in the NFL and John Bates gives Washington a strong in-line blocker to complement him.

5 (163): Darrick Forrest, DB, Cincinnati

This draft class featured a lot of safety prospects with big-time athletic ability worthy of development, and Forrest is no different. His size and traits give him intriguing matchup potential at the next level.

6 (225): Camaron Cheeseman, LS, Michigan

If you need a long snapper bad, you need a long snapper bad I guess. Cheeseman has one of the best names in the draft and obviously long snappers play key roles on special teams both snapping and in coverage.

7 (240): William Bradley-King, EDGE, Baylor

Physical pass rusher who has a good shot to factor into an NFL rotation, even if it’s not in Washington. He was a good pick this late in the process.

7 (246): Shaka Toney, EDGE, Penn State

How was this guy still on the board? If even just as a sub-package rusher, Toney is going to have a future in the NFL with his quickness off the ball.

7 (258): Dax Milne, WR, BYU

I love this pickup as well, even though Washington stole an opportunity for Milne to join the Jets at the next level with his former college QB Zach Wilson. Milne was one of the best players in the country last year at coming down with contested catches and he has the look of a stud X receiver if he can keep that up.
