Going into Night One of the draft, the biggest question for UW fans was whether one of the talented defensive linemen would sneak into the back of the first round. DE Joe Tryon and DT Levi Onwuzurike were both rated as early second round picks by most draft experts, but with a premium on defensive linemen, it seemed possible that a team would want to grab one of them at the end of the first.
There was an uncharacteristic tension for the last few picks of the round. The Saints took Payton Turner from Houston at #28 to start a miniature run on defensive ends/edge rushers. Miami’s Greg Rousseau came off the board at #30 to Buffalo, and Jayson Oweh went from Penn State to Baltimore with the next pick.

Every now and again everyone has something really cool happen and that is exactly what happened to Paul Cummings from Honeye, New York (kind of by Rochester).
You may not know who Paul Cummings is, but you may already know his work. He is the owner of the Charred Flag Factory. He makes these beautiful wood projects out wood. He chars the wood and you will see almost always an American flag in the background and then, in the foreground, you will see whatever the theme of the piece is: it could be a sports team, a certain band, anything really. They are really cool to give as a gift.

Gregory Rousseau tumbled down the draft board on the first night of the 2021 NFL Draft and landed right in the laps of the Buffalo Bills.
Rousseau, once Daniel Jeremiah’s top edge rusher, was productive in his redshirt freshman season (15.5 sacks, 19.5 tackles for loss) with the Miami Hurricanes, but opting out in 2020 and an underwhelming pro day led to his stock plummeting leading up to the draft.

We ve been waiting months for it, and it s finally over and done. Now it s time for GRADES! How did your team do according to my sophisticated grading system? Find out below.
Jags- Trevor Lawrence: A++
Kind of impossible to screw this one up. He s instantly a top 15 QB in the NFL and will help the Jags win right away.
Jets- Zach Wilson: A
I m not quite as in love with Wilson as the Jets, but I do think he has the potential to be special. Maybe just maybe the Jets got their first real QB since Broadway Joe.
