Some players have shown that being a rookie doesn’t mean anything. Such players like Patric Mahomes, Justine Jefferson, and Chase Young proved that rookie players can make a difference first year. Patrick Mahomes one of the most well known players as of right now due to his impressive success as an athlete and being able to bring his team to a Superbowl within his first few years as a player. Other players have also been known for having such a great impact on teams from their rookie seasons, such as Chicago Bears player, Gale Sayers, who arguably has the best rookie season in the NFL. Gale put up stats such as 2,272 all purpose yards, and scored the NFL record of 22 touchdowns. It is important to teams that they draft players like Gale Sayers and Patrick Mahomes to improve their 2021 season.

Drafts work in a way that the best and most important player is chosen in the first few rounds all the way down until no one is left. Sometimes players who are chosen in the last few rounds become the best players to play. One great example of this happening is Superbowl Champion Tom Brady. Tom Brady was the 199th pick of the 2000 NFL draft. Tom Brady over time proved his worth and proved everyone wrong for not choosing him sooner. Other players such as George Kittle and Tyreek Hill were chosen in the 5th round and Julian Edelman Superbowl LIII MVP was chosen in the 7th round. It is important for teams to keep an eye out for the players chosen in the later rounds as they can become an impactful player like Tom Brady.

Drafts determine the future of a team and how well they will play. It is important that the draft is coordinated and played out to the team’s personal benefit. That’s why it’s important for the team to try and draft the most important and brightest players out of this year’s draft.
