2021 NFL Draft: One perfect prospect for all 32 teams
By Randy Gurzi
Not every team can land the perfect prospect, but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t try. Here is one perfect fit for all 32 teams in the 2021 NFL Draft.
The goal of the NFL Draft is pretty simple — land the best possible player who can help your team.
Of course, there’s much more that goes into it than that, but that’s really what teams are trying to do. They’re trying to balance landing a player who is a great value for where they are picking and filling needs on their roster.
With all that being said, we look ahead to the 2021 NFL Draft and select one perfect prospect for all 32 teams.
Arizona Cardinals: Azeez Ojulari, EDGE, Georgia
The Arizona Cardinals made a splash this offseason when they signed J.J. Watt in free agency. Watt, a former three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year, rounds out their front seven which is pretty impressive now.
Along with Watt, they have Chandler Jones, Isaiah Simmons, Zach Allen, and Markus Golden in that front seven. While they are very talented, three of those players are over the age of 30 — including both outside linebackers Golden and Jones.
For that reason, Arizona would be wise to add a young pass-rusher to groom in their 3-4 defense and Azeez Ojulari from Georgia would be a perfect prospect for them. He would not only be able to play as a rookie in a rotation with Jones and Golden but would also be their future top pass rusher.
Ojulari has the experience of playing with his hand in the dirt as well as in a two-point stance and in Arizona, that would come in very handy due to their style of defense.
