This is an impressive group of quarterbacks, but it should be noted that Kyle Trask and Jayden Daniels may both slip out of the first round. Let’s take a look at how the 2021 class stacks up with the 2022 class. Spencer Rattler, who was highly touted as a recruit exploded onto the scene with Jalen Hurts in the NFL and has joined the conversation as a first round, and potential number one overall pick. Sam Howell, Kedon Slovis, and Jayden Daniels all looked like future Day 1 selections after their freshman seasons, but each of them still has some work to do to make that projection a reality. The 2022 class, on the other hand, has four names vying to be first round picks. The 2021 NFL Draft quarterback class is a strong, top-heavy class that features no less than five prospects expected to be taken some time in the first round.
John Metchie (WR – Alabama), CJ Johnson (East Carolina), Treylon Burks (WR – Arkansas), Wandale Robinson (WR – Kentucky), Joe Ngata (WR – Clemson), Jadon Hasselwood (WR – Oklahoma), David Bell (WR – Purdue), Drake London (WR – USC), and Bru McCoy (USC). While only four receivers from the 2022 class made it to the top-20, here are some other names to learn. It is important to note that this theoretical draft board could change after the 2021 college season, both due to new entrants and the play of the players already on the list. To illustrate the strength of the 2021 wide receiver class, creating a hypothetical top 20 that includes 2020, and 2021 classes can help us visualize.
Ja’Marr Chase is the player everyone has pegged as a player who could become the best receiver in football, but Jaylen Waddle, Rashod Bateman, Devonta Smith, and even Rondale Moore could all work their way into the top-10 in time. 2021 is a special class with no consensus outside of the top four prospects. What was supposed to be a historic wide receiver class suffered from a number of Day 1 and Day 2 talents, including eventual Heisman winner Devonta Smith, deciding to go back to school for one more season. Much like the running back class from the 2020 NFL Draft. Other names to know include Kyren Williams (Notre Dame), Kevin Harris (South Carolina), Keontay Ingram (USC), Cam’Ron Harris (Miami), Tyler Goodson (Iowa), and Mohamed Ibrahim (Minnesota). All of the 2022 running backs listed have lead back potential with workhorse upside but will need a little luck to avoid landing on a team with a superior talent. The 2022 class has talent, but the prospects of players like Breece Hall, Isaiah Spiller, Zamir White, Trey Sanders, and more will be determined by landing spots and depth charts. Every single running back on this list has RB1 or elite level RB2 upside, but only Harris and Etienne figure to be assured of starting jobs regardless of where they are drafted. Depth chart will be key, as whether or not he is forced into a committee or allowed to compete for a workhorse job will determine his upside. Williams is extremely talented, and if he is drafted to start and avoids blue-chip competition in the future, he can be an RB1 for the majority of his first two contracts. If there is one player that could end up as the most valuable on this list that is not currently in the top five, it is Javonte Williams.
Here are the top-10 running backs from the 2021 NFL Draft. Najee Harris and Travis Etienne are widely considered in a tier of their own in this draft class, and they may indeed be the only running backs with a first round grade, but there are others who may well turn out to be just as, if not more successful, when all is said and done. The 2020 class’s loss was the 2021 class’s gain as all four of those running backs declared for the 2021 NFL Draft (despite COVID granting them an extra season of eligibility). The 2020 running back class was set to be historic in terms of raw talent, but the surprise decisions of four running backs ranked in the top-10 (with at least two in the top five) to return for the 2020 college season sapped the class of talent. With that in mind, we will rank the quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, and quarterbacks from the 20 NFL Draft classes.Ĭheck out our latest consensus dynasty rankings here Running Backs This is critical because, without this evaluation, you could blindly make trades involving future picks that could come back to haunt you for years to come. One of the most important things any dynasty manager can do during the NFL offseason is to evaluate the upcoming rookie class and compare it to future classes.
