The 2021 NFL Draft is less than a month away. While a lot of experts are focusing on how deep the draft is in terms of offensive line prospects, there are also several wide receivers who can make a big impact on various NFL teams.
Analysts and fans continually speculate leading up to the draft where a given player will end up, but until the name is called, a player's actual NFL team remains a mystery, for the most part.
