Hello there, sports fans! I am coming to you live from my friend Kathleen Downes’s house, bringing you all the latest sports news from the first round of the 2021 NFL draft. Let’s kick things off!
Coming into last night’s first round of the NFL draft, we pretty much knew that Trevor Lawrence, quarterback out of Clemson and Zach Wilson were numbers 1 and 2, but after that it was pretty much anyone’s guess where the draft would take us. But we got our answer. The 49ers drafted Trey Lance from North Dakota State. Kyle Pitts got drafted 4th to Atlanta following a college career at University of Florida. One of the biggest surprises to this sports reporter coming out of the first round of the NFL draft was Justin Fields dropping out of the Top 5 to become the #11 pick for the Chicago Bears.
With the 5th overall pick, the Cincinnati Bengals selected Ja'marr Chase, wide receiver, out of LSU, reuniting him with his college teammate Joe Burrow. With the #6 pick in the NFL draft, the Miami Dolphins selected Jaylen Waddle, one of the fastest wide receivers in the draft, reuniting him with his college quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. The Giants moved back from #11 in the first round in a deal with the Chicago Bears to pick up Kadarius Toney. The Philadelphia Eagles drafted DeVonta Smith, one of the top receivers in this year’s NFL draft, who was one of the New York Giants top targets.
We will just have to wait and see what the New York Giants and the New York Jets do in round 2-7. It should be an interesting rest of the draft and interesting rest of the season. Can’t wait for football. This has been Mr. Buckley bringing you the latest from around the NFL.
Let’s go Giants!
