Thursday will mark the beginning of the 2024 NFL Draft. You do not have to be Russell Crowe’s character from A Beautiful Mind (I don’t know his name, I’ve never seen it) to be able to calculate that the 2021 NFL Draft took place three years ago.
This is pertinent information right now as the Class of 2021 are all eligible to have their fifth-year options exercised by the team that holds their contractual rights. Some picks like Micah Parsons are obvious decisions, but others aren’t even with the teams that originally selected them which adds a layer of complication.
