2021 NFL Draft Consensus Board: Top 130 Prospects

I’ve compiled 24 draft big boards of some of the biggest names in the NFL Draft community to make the 2021 NFL Draft Consensus Board.

For several years now, I have made a consensus big board for the NFL Draft. I started this just for fun for our family and friends has now turned into an annual draft tradition. The 2021 NFL Draft Consensus Board includes several big names in the draft industry such as Dane Brugler of The Athletic, Todd McShay and Mel Kiper from EPSN, Lance Zierlein, and Daniel Jeremiah of NFL Network, and NFL legend Gil Brandt.

The consensus board also includes the Draft Big Boards of several websites such as The Athletic, Bleacher Report, The Ringer, The Draft Network, Pro Football Network, DraftTek, Walter Football, and Tank-a-Thon. Last but not least, there are several draft big boards from intelligent individuals such as Chris Trapasso, Dalton Miller, Thor Nystrom, Jordan Reid, Marcus and Dustin Mosher, Tommy Jaggi, and myself.

The 2021 NFL Draft Consensus Board is constructed fairly simply. Everyone’s player rankings has equal weight and added together from the 24 draft boards to get an average ranking for each prospect and then the final rankings are based on their average number. If a certain prospect is excluded from a certain board then 50 added to the player ranking size is used. (Example: if player X is off writer’s A board that has 150 prospects, the player X would have a rank of 150+50=200).

Rank	Prospect	Position	High	Low	Range

Most polarizing prospects based on the highest and lowest rankings:

LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah – High of 8 Low of 51
QB Mac Jones – High of 9 Low of 150
Edge Jayson Oweh – High of 19 Low of 250
Edge Gregory Rousseau – High of18 Low of 250
S Richie Grant – High of 14 Low of 125
WR Anthony Schwartz – High of 53 Low of 206

Players Pittsburgh Steelers could target on the first two rounds:

1st Round
22 OT Teven Jenkins
24 LB Zaven Collins
27 RB Najee Harris

2nd Round
36 RB Javonte Williams
37 C Landon Dickerson
38 C Creed Humphrey
42 CB Asante Samuel
50 CB Eric Stokes
53 TE Pat Freiermuth
64 C Quinn Meinerz

Nearly all of Pittsburgh media believes that Najee Harris will be the selection for Pittsburgh if he’s available with the 24th overall pick in the NFL Draft, based on the most recent mock drafts. His consensus ranking falls just behind value at 27 overall. Some other options the team could consider in the first round that would poise good value include Oklahoma State offensive tackle Teven Jenkins and Tulsa linebacker Zaven Collins.

On day two, there are a number of directions the Steelers could go, but I have them going with a center in the second round. Wisconsin-Whitewater’s Quinn Meinerz would make a lot of sense.

It will be interesting to see which direction the Steelers ultimately go on draft day. Hopefully, they heed the advice of these consensus rankings and take a highly valued player at an important position in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft.
