2021 NFL Draft live tracker: Analysis for every first-round pick
The 2021 NFL Draft is officially here and fans are getting their small fix of football before a long summer that will lead up to the season.
It feels like Tampa Bay just won the Super Bowl and Tom Brady proved all the doubters wrong, but that happened nearly three months ago. Pro Days are in the books and prospects have seen their stocks rise and shockingly fall and now it’s time for NFL teams to build on the future.
Jacksonville gets the No. 1 overall pick on Thursday night and Urban Meyer is going to take Trevor Lawrence to build around.
The Jets have the No. 2 pick, 49ers are picking third, the Falcons are at No. 4 overall, and the Bengals round out the top five.
All eyes are going to be on the Jaguars with that first pick, but there’s little suspense with Lawrence being locked into that spot since his sophomore season. The real storylines won’t start until the third or fourth picks as the quarterbacks start coming off the board and we get to see what happens with Fields.
The draft starts at 8 p.m. ET on Thursday night on NFL Network, ESPN, and ABC.
For everyone who hasn’t been able to keep an eye on the first round, we’ve got you covered with a live tracker.
