Giving Away Money: The race to be the first overall pick of the 2021 NFL Draft has begun

John David Mercer-USA TODAY Sports

The NFL 2020 undrafted free agents just finished signing their deals today, so that means naturally we can start taking bets on next year’s draft class.

Sunshine is the overwhelming favorite to be selected No. 1, but I wouldn’t rule out Justin Fields if he polishes his passing game up a bit. The game is changing, and while many GMs are still hung up on statuesque White Guy, the varying success of Murray, Haskins and Jackson — and this year’s picks of Tua and Burrow and Love in the first round — shows that the new class of NFL QBs adds a lot more mobility and RPO elements to the stodgy ole’ pro game.
