Cardinals Draft Rondale Moore
With the 49th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Arizona Cardinals have selected Purdue wide receiver Rondale Moore. Moore's an explosive receiver who can make big plays with the ball in his hands. He's played just seven games over the past two years, but as a freshman in 2018, Moore had 1,471 scrimmage yards... Read More
Jaguars Draft Tackle Walker Little
With the 45th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars have selected Stanford tackle Walker Little. A highly-touted prospect out of high school, injury and opt out have essentially sidelined him for the past two seasons. He'll have to readjust to playing football, but if Little is healthy, he projects to be a... Read More
Miami Dolphins Draft Liam Eichenberg
With the 42nd pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins have selected Notre Dame offensive tackle Liam Eichenberg. Tackle is a definite position of need for the Dolphins, who passed on taking one of the elite ones in the first round but who grab a guy who was a solid protector for the... Read More
Eagles Select Center Landon Dickerson
With the 37th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles have drafted Alabama center Landon Dickerson. The Eagles had the second-worst adjusted sack rate in the NFL last season, so adding to the line should help keep quarterback Jalen Hurts safe, allowing him to form a connection with first-round wide receiver DeVonta Smith....

Denver Broncos Use 35th Pick On Javonte Williams
With the 35th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos have taken North Carolina running back Javonte Williams. Regarded by some as the best running back in this draft, Williams had 1,140 rushing yards and 19 touchdowns last season for the Tar Heels, plus added 305 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns. Williams... Read More
Jags Take Tyson Campbell At 33
The Jacksonville Jaguars have used the 33rd pick in the 2021 NFL Draft on Georgia defensive back Tyson Campbell. It seems like an odd pick for a Jaguars team that didn't seem to have the biggest need at corner. Campbell had just one interception in college and will need to figure out some things in... Read More
Chargers Take Rashawn Slater
With the 13th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Chargers have drafted Northwestern offensive tackle Rashawn Slater. Widely regarded as the second-best offensive tackle in this year's draft after Penei Sewell, not too many expected Slater to fall to the 13th pick. Slater didn't allow a sack last season and allowed just... Read More
Chicago Bears Trade Up For Justin Fields
With the No. 11 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears have traded up with the New York Giants and selected Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields.

Denver Uses Ninth Pick On Patrick Surtain II
With the No. 9 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos have selected Alabama defensive back Patrick Surtain II. It's a surprising move as many thought the Broncos would go quarterback, but maybe there's some truth to the trade rumors for Aaron Rodgers that emerged on Thursday. The Broncos add one of the... Read More
Detroit Lions Draft Penei Sewell
With the No. 7 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Detroit Lions have drafted Oregon offensive tackle Penei Sewell. The best lineman in this draft, Sewell didn't allow a sack in 2019 before opting out last season. Sewell is just a monstrous blocker who will instantly help protect new Lions quarterback Jared Goff, plus... Read More
Bengals Draft Ja’Marr Chase
With the No. 5 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Cincinnati Bengals have selected LSU wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase, a college teammate of quarterback Joe Burrow. It was a bit surprising to see the Bengals not take an offensive lineman to help them protect their second-year quarterback, especially after a knee injury ended his... Read More
49ers Use Third Pick On Trey Lance
With the No. 3 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the San Francisco 49ers have selected North Dakota State quarterback Trey Lance. A quarterback was going in this spot as soon as the Niners made this trade, but there was debate for weeks about if it would be Lance or Alabama's Mac Jones. Lance... Read More
Jaguars Draft Trevor Lawrence First Overall
With the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars have selected Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence. The worst kept secret in the NFL, we've known for over a year that whichever team landed the first pick would be taking Lawrence. Last year, he completed 69.2 percent of his passes with 24...

Free agent running back Wayne Gallman visited the San Francisco 49ers on Monday. Last year, Gallman had 147 carries for the Giants, with 682 rushing yards and six touchdowns.
