2021 NFL draft: Our final top 100 list, featuring seven new prospects

Pro days, late-arriving medical information and cross checks on prospects have borne some changes to our list of the top 100 overall prospects for the 2021 NFL draft.

We’ve rolled out 99 prospect profiles — with one to go — but have a few additions to the list. Sadly, these seven additions to the list won’t be treated to full scouting breakdowns, as the shot clock isn’t in our favor. But we wanted to introduce you to a few who were able to crack our final top 100 (with the updated list at the bottom).

Of course that means a few players are falling out, too. We’ll start with them and then introduce the new names.

Moving out of the top 100

Florida QB Kyle Trask (previously 65)

This one is tough because we like Trask (perhaps more than others) for what he is, and there’s a chance he gets into Round 3. But Trask’s wooden posture in the pocket and lack of great arm talent has him off a lot of teams’ radars.

We think they’re missing out on what could be a high-end backup/low-end starter, but there’s more buzz on players such as Kellen Mond right now.

Michigan State CB Shakur Brown (previously 76)

Brown is a confident, scrappy corner who caught our eye with his playing style. But unfortunately, some NFL evaluators are worried about his size, lack of experience and his sub-par pro-day testing results. He still could crack the top 100 picks, but we’re moving him just outside our list.

Louisville WR Tutu Atwell (previously 81)

It’s hard not to root for the mighty-mite Atwell, who was a big-play machine for the Cardinals the past two seasons. Some team is just going to ignore the fact that Atwell weighed 149 pounds last month at the combine medical recheck, and they might be rewarded for it. After all, he’s been electric in college.

But only one player — one! — weighing less than 155 pounds has scored a touchdown in the regular season since 1999: Washington’s Brandon Banks in 2010.

UCLA RB-WR Demetric Felton (previously 89)

A strong Senior Bowl vaulted him into our top 100. But some curiously bad testing results now have him out. We suspect he ends up at slot receiver, but his lack of speed could limit his appeal some. There’s a player in here, but he’s a likely Day 3 pick now.

Ohio State LB Pete Werner (previously 92)

Another borderline top-100 guy to begin with, there’s actually a lot to like about Werner … but perhaps not a ton to love. He likely will end up having a longer career than several players drafted ahead of him, able to play on all three downs and on special teams, but Werner’s stock has cooled just a bit.

Ohio State DB Shaun Wade (previously 99)

Wade, on the other hand, tested pretty darned well at his pro day. And we’re by no means quitting Wade — had he come out last year, he might have been a top-40 selection. We just don’t see that happening now. NFL people don’t seem to know what to make of his projection, even if we still have a soft spot for him.

Oregon State RB Jermar Jefferson (previously t-100)

When we asked around on Jefferson, it turned out we liked him more than the league did. Granted, Jefferson figures to be an interesting Day 3 pick who could outperform his draft spot. But his smallish size and inconsistent production on third downs gives him somewhat limited appeal.

Moving into the top 100

Stanford CB Paulson Adebo (now No. 98)

Adebo has ample length, ran well at his pro day (4.44 40) and has proven ball skills (34 passes defended, eight picks in 23 games). We snoozed on him too much after his opt-out season, putting him around No. 108 overall initially, assuming he wouldn’t work out as well as he did at his pro day. He’s a sneaky Day 2 pick who might surprise.

Ohio State C Josh Myers (now No. 96)

Myers wasn’t our favorite evaluation this past season, looking a bit stiff and so-so in pass protection. But there’s a healthy amount of respect for his game in league circles, and it appears that he’s on his way back from turf toe surgery and in line to be ready for some offseason activity. A solid center in a class with some decent options there.

Texas A&M QB Kellen Mond (now No. 93)

Granted, not every team is enamored with Mond, who truly didn’t display a ton of growth from his 2018 season to now. But with decent size, really nice athleticism and a strong arm — plus 44 college starts — you can do a lot worse in a QB prospect.

Perhaps a change of scenery could bode well. We think he’s going in Round 2 now. Mond bears resemblance, style-wise, to Colin Kaepernick.

Florida OT Stone Forsythe (now No. 92)

We wrote about the 6-8, 307-pound Forsythe a few times last season, as he caught our eye multiple times. But we were not sure what his league value was until we checked with some people this spring. Now it appears Forsythe could be a later Day 2 pick. That size and athletic skill are an intriguing combo.

Louisiana Tech DT Milton Williams (now No. 87)

Williams will be among the smaller DTs in the league. But he also will be among the most explosive and athletic. An undersized 3-technique, Williams put on a show at his pro day with some absurd numbers in the 40-yard dash (4.67 seconds), vertical jump (38 1/2 inches), broad jump (121 inches), 3-cone drill (6.96 seconds), short shuttle (4.33 seconds) and bench press (34 reps). He’s a tweener, but someone will take a chance on that athleticism on Day 2.

Tennessee WR Josh Palmer (now No. 83)

Palmer had his best games against the best competition, beating Alabama’s Patrick Surtain II and Georgia’s Tyson Campbell for touchdowns last season, and was held back by the Vols’ frustrating QB play. A classic look-at-the-tape-not-the-stats player. Maybe he sneaks into Round 3.

BYU OT Brady Christensen (now No. 78)

Our most regrettable initial omission, Christensen ended up No. 103 on our original board. Well, he’s moving up. The more evaluators watched Zach Wilson, the more they realized how good his protection was. Christensen was a big part of that.

On the downside, he turns 25 the first month of the NFL season and has shorter arms. But on the plus side, he’s agile, durable and reliable. We think he cracks the top 100 picks and will get a shot to be a left tackle.
