player. 123. . Offensive Tackle. Dallas Cowboys. Christian Darrisaw. 10

The Dallas Cowboys will likely use the franchise tag on Dak Prescott, as they are still not able to commit to him long-term despite all of his successes for the franchise. With Prescott under contract for 2021, they turn their attention to the offensive line, as they have to do a better job in protecting him moving forward.

Closing out the top-10 of the 2021 NFL Draft is Virginia Tech offensive tackle Christian Darrisaw, who should be one of the first three offensive tackles off the board this year. He is big, physical, and athletic, and would be an anchor for this Cowboys offensive line moving forward.

. Wide Receiver. New York Giants. Ja'Marr Chase. 11. player. 31

The New York Giants hold the No. 11 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, and like most teams picking this early, they have their issues on both sides of the ball. During the 2020 NFL season, the defense actually played very well, but the offense is lacking playmakers, and they certainly get one here.

Wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase could very well be the first wide receiver off the board this year, as he has everything you look for in a true WR1 at the NFL level. If he is available at No. 11, the Giants need to run the card up to the podium, as he would be an excellent addition to a group of weapons for a developing Daniel Jones.

Cornerback. San Francisco 49ers. Caleb Farley. 12. player. 42.

The San Francisco 49ers have a big decision to make this offseason as well, as it is still unclear whether or not Jimmy Garoppolo is going to be their starting quarterback moving forward. The likelihood is that he will be back under center for the 49ers in 2021, and on the other side of the ball, there are major holes for this team to fill.

One hole is in the secondary, where Richard Sherman is on his way out, and the cornerback position needs to be upgraded. Enter Caleb Farley, an outstanding cornerback prospect who would be the No. 1 player at his position group is Patrick Surtain II was not in this draft class.
