NFL Draft 2021: Latest Odds, Expert Mocks and Predictions for Round 1

The NFL draft is finally approaching after a lead-in featuring an endless parade of anonymous scouts' reports, conflicting smokescreens and pre-draft press conferences that were largely much ado about nothing save for San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan saying he couldn't "guarantee that anybody in the world will be alive Sunday" when asked about signal-caller Jimmy Garappolo's future with the team.

Fans can finally settle into the action Thursday, however, as the NFL draft action commences from Cleveland.

There's isn't much intrigue with the first two picks, as a pair of quarterbacks in Clemson's Trevor Lawrence and BYU's Zach Wilson are expected to go first and second overall to the Jacksonville Jaguars and New York Jets, respectively.
