The 2021 NFL Draft is just around the corner. Before long, 257 different players will officially be welcomed to the NFL as part of this year’s rookie class. Some will be big names — perhaps quarterbacks — taken within the first few minutes of action. Some will be future underdog stories — late-round gambles that turned out to be diamonds in the rough. But all will represent hopeful days ahead, for both their own careers and their new teams, on draft day.
What’s the exact order of those 257 picks? We’re glad you asked. Below, you’ll find a complete rundown of every single pick, round by round, slated for the 2021 draft, including compensatory selections and picks previously swapped via trade.
Note: The Patriots, Raiders and Saints all forfeited single draft picks as a result of NFL discipline. New England surrendered a third-round pick for its alleged illegal filming of an opponent’s 2019 game, while the Raiders and Saints surrendered sixth-round picks as a result of COVID-19 protocol violations in 2020.
