Capped off by an entertaining game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Football Team, we now have the first eighteen picks of the 2021 NFL Draft order finalized. The Jacksonville Jaguars and New York Jets had their picks finalized last week following the Jaguars’ loss to the Chicago Bears. Now, as the regular season is officially complete, we’ve got a clearer picture of where most teams will be drafting in the 2021 NFL Draft.
Picking third in the 2021 NFL Draft will be the Miami Dolphins. They have this pick as part of a trade with the Houston Texans for offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil. Rounding out the top five will be the Atlanta Falcons and Cincinnati Bengals. Jacksonville, New York, and Atlanta will all be picking in the top five with new head coaches after Doug Marrone and Adam Gase learned their fate this week. The Atlanta Falcons fired head coach Dan Quinn in October.
Following a loss to the Washington Football Team in the regular season finale, the Philadelphia Eagles will pick sixth. The Detroit Lions will pick next, followed by the Carolina Panthers, Denver Broncos, and finally the Dallas Cowboys round out the top ten.
The New York Giants will officially pick 11th in the 2021 NFL Draft. They’ll be followed by the San Francisco 49ers, who weren’t able to backup their appearance from last season in the Super Bowl. The Los Angeles Chargers, Minnesota Vikings, and New England Patriots will pick 13th, 14th, and 15th. Finally, the Arizona Cardinals, Las Vegas Raiders, and Miami Dolphins round out the first eighteen picks.
