2021 NFL Draft: Worst pick made by all 32 teams
Worst picks by each team in the 2021 NFL Draft: NFC West
Arizona Cardinals: S James Wiggins, Cincinnati – Round 7, Pick 243
Wiggins was a seventh-round pick, so this was more of a “Low risk, high reward” situation. That’s not to say Wiggins isn’t talented but the Cardinals already have their safety rotation somewhat set, so taking him here didn’t seem to make sense.
Los Angeles Rams: WR Tutu Atwell, Louisville – Round 2, Pick 57
The Rams took Atwell when Terrace Marshall Jr. and Dyami Brown were still on the board, among others. Atwell is a fine receiver, but there was better talent available that would have been better value at the time. Not to mention, another pass-catchers wasn’t high on the list of needs for the Rams coming into the draft.
San Francisco 49ers: CB Deommodore Lenoir, Oregon – Round 5, Pick 172
The 49ers were one of those teams who had a good draft from top to bottom. The selection of Lenoir comes down to the fact that they also took Ambry Thomas, who will be more of a secondary contributor this season than Lenoir.

Seattle Seahawks: WR D’Wayne Eskridge, Western Michigan – Round 2, Pick 56
The Seahawks must hate Russell Wilson because they refuse to get him adequate protection. Sure, the Seahawks needed receiver help. D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett are great but there isn’t too much reliability aside from those two. That said, Creed Humphrey was right there for the taking. The Seahawks have needed offensive line help for what feels like the last five years, and once again, they put it on the back burner.
