2021 NFL Draft Positional Rankings

“Do you smell it? That smell. A kind of smelly smell. The smelly smell that smells….smelly”. If you don’t know where that quote is from than you have much more important things to be doing than reading this article. For the rest of you, welcome! You see that “smell” Mr. Krabbs was talking about, was the smell of draft season. Ok maybe he was referring to anchovies but you get the point. Technically, draft season never really stops. As soon as one NFL draft reaches it’s conclusion next years mocks are already plastered all over the internet. But right now we are in the thick of it. The meat and potatoes of draft season if you will. By now (if you’re a draft nerd like me) you’ve consumed dozens of mock drafts and already have your sleeper pick for your favorite team picked out. I’ve spent the last couple months scouting hundreds of players in preparation for the upcoming draft. I will have plenty of draft content coming so if you’re an offseason champion this is the place to be. To start things of I’ll be giving you guys my positional rankings for the 2021 draft. Don’t hold your breathe waiting for a big board, I think they’re pointless. Today we tackle the QBs and RBs. 

*Quick note: I will only be including players whom I have at least a 4th round grade on*
