Like every year, the highest level of American football, the NFLwill celebrate its Draft, an event that positions each of the 32 teams with the opportunity to reinforce the lines they consider most vulnerable in their roster, based on the youth talent that was demonstrated in the last season of the NCAAthat is to say, the collegiate category of the sport.
The order of selection is established according to each team's record in the previous season, i.e., to maintain a balance of teams, the league gives preference of select first who, in theory, would be the most desirable player to the team that posted the worst record in the finished campaign. On this occasion it is the Jacksonville Jaguarswhile the last one will be the champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence is expected to be the sensation of this generation, a player that is hard for Florida to pass up, making him the first overall selection.
On the other hand, one of the most attention-grabbing moves in the hours leading up to this draft was the trade of picks made by the San Francisco 49ers and the Miami Dolphins, situation that allows the Bay Area team to climb to be the third in selecting talent in this 2021. After 3 years with Jimmy Garoppolo in charge of the throws, in the legendary team realized that this is not the passer that will lead them to get a SuperBowl, so is expected to take a gamble on Alabama quarterback Mac Jones or, if available, talented Ohio State graduate Justin Fields.
The NFL Draft will take place this Thursday at 5:00 p.m. San Francisco time, 7:00 p.m. Central Mexico time, and can be seen on ESPN.
