Marvin Wilson is a top 10 lock in the 2021 NFL Draft (Photo by Don Juan Moore/Getty Images) Marvin Wilson could end up being drafted higher than Derrick Brown by the time the 2021 NFL Draft rolls around. Here is his scouting report. With this year's draft now behind us, it's time to shift our focus to the talent that will be available in the 2021 NFL Draft class. While we still have a whole other season of game tape still to come from these prospects, it's always fun to get a head start on highlighting who to keep an eye out for when we do finally kick things off in 2020.

The four teams in the NFC East certainly made their mark on the 2020 NFL Draft. The Washington Redskins were able to add the player who many consider to be the top overall prospect in the entire class and the Dallas Cowboys received high marks all around for their seven-round haul. The Philadelphia Eagles had one of the most controversial picks in the 2020 NFL Draft and the New York Giants sat back and found impress...

New York Jets (Photo by Timothy T Ludwig/Getty Images) Highlighting five of the nine undrafted free agents that the New York Jets signed and what, if any, impact they'll have on the 2020 NFL season. The New York Jets did a decent job of grabbing talented players in the 2020 NFL Draft who could make an impact early in their careers. They still have some holes to fill, but luckily for the Jets, the deep talent pool of this class allowed them to pick up some intriguing undrafted free agents. It may have been a surprise to some that New York only picked up one wide receiver for Sam Darnold in t...

Top contenders to hold No. 1 selection in the 2021 NFL Draft

Dwayne Haskins, Washington Redskins (Photo by Patrick McDermott/Getty Images) Which team will hold the first overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft? Obviously, we have a full season of football before we will know too much about the 2021 NFL Draft. Early scouting processes are important, but all of these prospects still have their most important college season ahead of them. On top of that, until the 2020 NFL season is played, we do not have any clue what the 2021 NFL Draft order will look like.

NFL Draft 2020: Best pick made by each AFC South team

NFL Draft, Indianapolis Colts (Photo by Tom Pennington/Getty Images) Choosing the single best selection made by each of the four AFC South teams in the 2020 NFL Draft. The AFC South certainly had some interesting selections in the 2020 NFL Draft. The Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts did not have a first-round pick, but they were still able to find talented players who can help them immediately compete for an AFC South crown. The Jacksonville Jaguars on the other hand, held two first-round picks in the 2020 NFL Draft. The Jaguars are extremely unlikely to be competitive in the AFC South...

Washington Redskins building strong WR group finding value in NFL Draft

For the last three years, the Washington Redskins have consistently found value at the wide receiver position in the NFL Draft. Put all of those picks together and they are starting to build an impressive group of pass-catchers. The Washington Redskins selected wide receiver Antonio Gandy-Golden in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft. This selection largely went unnoticed throughout all of the excitement of draft weekend, but Gandy-Golden is an impressive outside receiver who has impressive upside at the next level. He is a tremendous contested-catch receiver who attacks the ball in the ...

Arizona Cardinals: Kyler Murray is set up for a massive sophomore season

The Arizona Cardinals have set second-year quarterback Kyler Murray up for a massive 2020 season. The Arizona Cardinals found themselves in a tough situation last offseason. They could have traded away the first overall pick and moved forward with Josh Rosen as their franchise quarterback. Taking Nick Bosa at No. 1 overall may not have been a bad move either. However, as soon as they hired Kliff Kingsbury to be their head coach, taking Kyler Murray was always the best option. Murray is tailor-made for Kingsbury's offense and is the perfect player to lead the Arizona Cardinals into the futur...

2021 NFL Draft: Who will be next year's LSU and dominate draft boards?

LSU dominated the 2020 NFL Draft with 14 players selected. Looking ahead to the 2021 NFL Draft, will any team come close to that level of success? During the 2020 NFL Draft, it seemed as though a player from LSU went at least once every five picks, bringing the total at the end of Day 3 to 14 Tigers selected and even more signing following the draft. Looking ahead to the 2021 NFL Draft, there are a few teams who could reach double-digits. LSU's success in the draft stemmed from two things that went hand-in-hand.

Antonio Gibson will be an exciting offensive playmaker for Washington Redskins

The selection of Antonio Gibson could pay off in a major way for the Washington Redskins. The Washington Redskins made the easy choice of taking Chase Young with the second overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. Young is a dynamic edge rusher who was near consensus as the top overall prospect in the class. As great as the Young selection was, I want to dig into the second player that the Redskins brought into the mix, running back Antonio Gibson. Gibson is listed as a running back but played much more as a slot receiver through his two years at Memphis. This kind of versatility makes him such ...
