With the end of Draft de 2021, some fans were not completely satisfied with the additions to their team and feel that some positions could still be improved. For this, there are three options – reinforce with athletes still available at the Free Agency, make some exchange (hello, Green Bay Packers!) or wait a year for the next Draft with new talent coming from the college circuit.
The Draft is an excellent strategy to build your team, as the contracts are not as heavy as a consolidated star, with you being able to have a player who produces more than he is receiving for four or five years. NFL teams have already started the groundwork, scouring the top talent that will be available.

Offensive Guard: The interior of the offensive line has gained more importance in recent times, especially with teams realizing that most quarterbacks are more bothered by the pressure coming from that sector. For the next Draft, we will have talented players for the position. Check out!
Kenyon Green – Texas A&M: Opening avenues for Isaiah Spiller, Green has caught the attention of everyone who follows College Football. In 2021, the player must migrate to the end of the offensive line and attempt to be drafted as tackle, but it was as a guard that he entered the scouts’ radar. NFL.
Cade Mays – Tennessee: Passing through Georgia and now Tennessee, Mays is a guard of gigantic proportions. A brute mass in the running game, the player dealt well with the challenges that SEC defenders imposed on him in 2020. Another good campaign this season and he can dream of a choice in the top-50.
Zion Johnson – Boston College: He’s been a left tackle in Boston since 2020, but his future tends to be as a guard at the next level. Johnson excels in good hand placement and mirroring the defenders to keep the quarterback’s shirt clean. In 2019, he made seven starts as a left guard in the Eagles scheme.
Favourite play from LG Zion Johnson – Boston College
Johnson is crazy strong and loves bullying defenders. He has great length. Watch out for Johnson in 2020. pic.twitter.com/Zs9qcLyPSX— BballZone1 (@BBALL_Z1) June 2, 2020
Ikem Ekwonu – North Carolina State: The Nigerian guard was considered the most feared offensive lineman at the ACC Conference. At 1.93m, Ekwonu is a rock weighing over 145 kilos, with good mobility and agility for someone of this size. He has often destroyed rivals he has encountered in two seasons as a starter at NC State.
Marquis Hayes – Oklahoma: 24 games of experience as a starter in the Sooners. Hayes is gigantic, almost six feet tall. The guard is still evolving in passing protection and running play, but has shown enormous potential last season in both areas.
Honorable mention: Paul Grattan (UCLA), Cain Madden (Marshall), Josh Sills (Oklahoma State), Emil Ekyior Jr. (Alabama)
