The 2021 NFL Draft is here with the hopes and dreams of teams and players alike set to materialise in Cleveland.

While the Super Bowl may be realistic for a select few, this event allows even the most inept teams to believe they are beginning their journey towards glory down the road.

There appears to be a sensational class of quarterbacks this year, headlined by Trevor Lawrence, who is destined to go to the Jacksonville Jaguars, who possess the No 1 overall pick.
