Favorite NFC Draft Picks

 Here are my favorite draft picks of the NFC teams.

Minnesota Vikings

Christian Darrisaw, OT, Virginia Tech

It’s gotta be the new left tackle. Christian Darrisaw. The pick was made even better when the Vikings were able to grab him after trading down nine spots. The trade brought Darrisaw, Kellon Mond, and Wyatt Davis to Minnesota. Offensive line has been a problem in Minnesota for too damn long. Darrisaw and Davis should be part of a young, promising, and talented starting five. It was refreshing to see the Vikings make strong draft moves in an effort to finally bury this offensive line problem.

Green Bay Packers

Amari Rodgers, WR, Clemson

The Packers finally draft a receiver for their quarterback.

Chicago Bears

Justin Fields, QB, Ohio State

The Bears move from #20 to #11 to select Justin Fields was the strongest draft day move of the 2021 NFL Draft.

Detroit Lions

Penei Sewell, OT, Oregon

I never thought that there was a realistic chance of Penei Sewell landing in Minnesota but the dream was there. 

New York Giants

Kadarius Toney, WR, Florida

Kadarius Toney is a highlight waiting to happen. If the Giants had draft day hopes of landing one of the “Big 3” receivers, Toney is fine consolation. The trade back with the Bears also brought them a #1 next year.

Washington Football Team

Benjamin St-Juste, CB, Minnesota

Jamin Davis is a favorite but I can’t pick only first round guys. I was hoping that Benjamin St-Juste might stay in Minnesota.

Philadelphia Eagles

Landon Dickerson, IOL, Alabama

It’s impossible not to be a fan of Landon Dickerson.

Dallas Cowboys

Micah Parsons, LB, Penn State

Micah Parsons is a beast. 

New Orleans Saints

Paulson Adebo, CB, Stanford

It feels weird to favor a Stanford football player but I like Paulson Adebo.

Carolina Panthers

Brady Christensen, OT, BYU

If the Vikings hadn’t found their left tackle in the first round, Brady Christensen was a Day 2 favorite for the job.

Atlanta Falcons

Kyle Pitts, TE, Florida

Kyle Pitts is going to be fun. 

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Jaelon Darden, WR, North Texas

Tom Brady needed another weapon. 

San Francisco 49ers

Trey Lance, QB, North Dakota State

Mac who? I still can’t believe people believed that the 49ers traded to #3 for Mac Jones.

Arizona Cardinals

Rondale Moore, WR, Purdue

The Cardinals offense is going to be fun.

Los Angeles Rams

Tutu Atwell, WR, Louisville

It’s gotta be Tutu. I’m a fan of the little guy in the NFL.

Seattle Seahawks

D’Wayne Eskridge, WR, Western Michigan

There were so many smallish, exciting receivers in this draft. D’Wayne Eskridge was one of my favorites.
