NFL Draft Order 2021: Rounds 2 and 3

The second round of the 2021 NFL Draft is set to take place in Cleveland, Ohio on Friday, April 30. Following several trades, what order are the teams picking tonight in Rounds 2 and 3 of the 2021 NFL Draft?

2021 NFL Draft Order: Round 2

All second-round selections in the 2021 NFL Draft.

33. Jacksonville Jaguars

34. New York Jets

35. Atlanta Falcons

36. Miami Dolphins (from Houston Texans)

The fourth pick in Round 2 of the 2021 NFL Draft was traded back in August 2019. The Texans acquired offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil, wide receiver Kenny Stills, a sixth-round pick (202nd overall) in the 2021 NFL Draft, and a fourth-round selection in 2020 (111th) from the Dolphins.

In return, the Texans sent the fourth pick in Round 2 of the 2021 NFL Draft, along with the No. 3 overall pick in 2021, a first-round selection in 2020 (26th), offensive tackle Julie’n Davenport, and defensive back Johnson Bademosi.

The Dolphins traded the 26th selection in 2020 to the Packers for the 30th and 136th picks in the 2020 NFL Draft. With the 30th overall selection, the Dolphins added cornerback Noah Igbinoghene. They also used the 136th pick as part of a package to move up and select guard Solomon Kindley with the 111th overall selection.

Interestingly, that 111th pick was the original selection the Dolphins sent to Houston in the Tunsil trade.

37. Philadelphia Eagles

38. Cincinnati Bengals

39. Carolina Panthers

40. Denver Broncos

41. Detroit Lions

42. New York Giants

43. San Francisco 49ers

44. Dallas Cowboys

45. Jacksonville Jaguars (from Minnesota Vikings)

In August 2020, the Vikings sent a 2021 second-round pick (45th overall) to the Jaguars along with a fifth-round selection in 2022. In return, Minnesota received EDGE Yannick Ngakoue from the Jaguars.

The fifth-round selection in 2022 could have upgraded to either a third or fourth-round pick dependent on Ngakoue’s performance in 2021. For instance, had Ngakoue been selected to the Pro Bowl, the selection would have been in the fourth round. Furthermore, had the Vikings won the Super Bowl, the selection would have been in the third round.

Neither of these occurred, and therefore, the selection in 2022 remains a fifth-round selection. In fact, the Vikings would go on to trade Ngakoue to the Ravens just two months later.

46. New England Patriots

47. Los Angeles Chargers

48. Las Vegas Raiders

49. Arizona Cardinals

50. Miami Dolphins

51. Washington Football Team

52. Chicago Bears

53. Tennessee Titans

54. Indianapolis Colts

55. Pittsburgh Steelers

56. Seattle Seahawks

57. Los Angeles Rams

58. Kansas City Chiefs (from Baltimore Ravens)

The 58th selection in the 2021 Draft was traded to the Chiefs along with OT Orlando Brown Jr. and a sixth-round selection in 2022. In return, the Ravens received the 31st, 94th, and 136th selections in the 2021 NFL Draft and a fifth-round selection in the 2022 NFL Draft.

59. Cleveland Browns

60. New Orleans Saints

61. Buffalo Bills

62. Green Bay Packers

63. Kansas City Chiefs

64. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

69. Cincinnati Bengals

70. Philadelphia Eagles

71. Denver Broncos

72. Detroit Lions

73. Carolina Panthers

74. Washington Football Team (from San Francisco 49ers)

On Day 3 of the 2020 NFL Draft, the 49ers traded a fifth-round pick (156th overall) and a 2021 third-round pick (74th overall) to the Washington Football Team. In return, Washington sent left tackle Trent Williams to the 49ers.

Following a successful 2020 season, Williams became the highest-paid offensive tackle in the NFL during the 2021 offseason. Meanwhile, Washington selected center Keith Ismael from San Diego State with the 156th pick in 2020.

75. Dallas Cowboys

76. New York Giants

The New England Patriots forfeited their third-round pick as punishment for illegally filming the field and sidelines of a 2019 game between the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals.

77. Los Angeles Chargers

78. Minnesota Vikings

79. Las Vegas Raiders (from Arizona Cardinals)

The Cardinals traded the No. 79 overall selection to the Las Vegas Raiders for center Rodney Hudson and the 247th pick.

80. Las Vegas Raiders

81. Miami Dolphins

82. Washington Football Team

83. Chicago Bears

84. Dallas Cowboys (from Indianapolis Colts through Philadelphia Eagles)

The Colts traded the 84th selection in the 2021 NFL Draft and a conditional second-round selection in the 2022 NFL Draft to the Eagles for QB Carson Wentz. The conditional second-round pick could become a first-round selection. That will occur if Wentz plays more than 75 percent of the Colts’ offensive snaps in 2021 or if he plays more than 70 percent and the Colts make the playoffs in 2021.

During the draft, the Eagles traded the 84th selection, along with the 12th overall selection in 2021 to the Cowboys. In return the Eagles received the 10th selection in the 2021 NFL Draft.

85. Tennessee Titans

86. Minnesota Vikings (from Seattle Seahawks through New York Jets)

In July 2020, the Seahawks traded their first (23rd overall) and third-round (86th overall) picks in the 2021 NFL Draft, a 2022 first-round selection, and safety Bradley McDougald to the Jets. In return, the Seahawks received safety Jamal Adams and a 2022 fourth-round selection.

87. Pittsburgh Steelers

88. Los Angeles Rams

89. Cleveland Browns

90. Minnesota Vikings (from Baltimore Ravens)

In October 2020, the Ravens sent their third-round pick (90th overall) in the 2021 NFL Draft and a conditional fifth-round selection in the 2022 NFL Draft to the Vikings for Ngakoue. The fifth-round selection would have become a fourth-round pick if Ngakoue had made the Pro Bowl last season. As he did not, the selection in 2022 remains a fifth-round pick.

91. Cleveland Browns (from New Orleans Saints)

During the 2020 NFL Draft, the Saints traded the No. 88 overall selection and their 2021 third-round pick (91st overall) to the Browns. In exchange, the Browns sent the 74th and 244th selections in the 2020 NFL Draft.

The Saints used the 74th pick in 2020 to select outside linebacker Zack Baun. New Orleans used the 244th pick in a trade package with the Vikings to move up to No. 105 overall. With the 105th selection, the Saints drafted tight end Adam Trautman. The Browns, meanwhile, selected defensive tackle Jordan Elliott with the 88th pick.

92. Green Bay Packers

93. Buffalo Bills

94. Baltimore Ravens (from Kansas City Chiefs)
