Mancano due giorni all’inizio del draft 2021 della NFL e molto presto i dubbi e le ipotesi, relativi alle scelte delle 32 franchigie della lega, saranno svelati. Nel frattempo, c’è ancora l’occasione per confermare o ribaltare le iniziali sensazioni e valutazioni in merito ai prospetti della classe di quest’anno. Ecco la top 150 della classe del 2021 proposta dall’NFL scout Daniel Jeremiah.
La top 150 del 2021: chi c’è nella top ten?
Al primo posto resta stabilmente Trevor Lawrence, l’ex quarterback dei Clemson Tigers dato da tutti come la prima scelta di quest’anno. Dietro di lui, c’è il tight end Kyle Pitts, protagonista di una combine che ha stregato gli scout presenti nel centro di allenamento dei Gators. Il giocatore proveniente dalla University of Florida ha dimostrato di possedere le qualità di un wide receiver e di essere migliorato molto anche come blocker. Il terzo gradino del podio è occupato da Ja’Marr Chase, anche lui protagonista di un’eccezionale combine. Nonostante non abbia disputato il campionato 2020, l’ex LSU è ancora considerato il miglior wide receiver della classe.
In quarta posizione si trova Zach Wilson, valutato ancora come secondo miglior quarterback presente quest’anno. Alle sue spalle, ci sono i due wide receivers di Alabama Jaylen Waddle e DeVonta Smith, rispettivamente al quinto e al sesto posto. Sale in settima posizione l’ex quarterback dei North Dakota State Bison, Trey Lance, che spodesta Justin Fields come terzo miglior giocatore in quel ruolo. Il quarterback proveniente dall’Ohio State passa invece in ottava posizione. Chiudono la top ten l’ex cornerback dei Crimson Tide, Patrick Surtain II, al nono posto, e Rashawn Slater, offensive tackle proveniente dalla Northwestern.
