Draftwire

This last week is always the longest. After months of rumors and hot takes, pro days and interviews, all-star games and trades, the 2021 NFL draft is just days away. As all 32 teams put the finishing touches on their draft boards, we’re doing the same. A couple of things you’ll notice here: Yes, there are fewer than 32 first-round grades. That’s typical, especially within the league. Just because there are 32 first-round picks every year doesn’t mean there are 32 prospects worthy of first-round selection.
