Want to know what I think of every pick made in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL Draft? You can follow along throughout the day Saturday as I grade all the Round 6 picks below. Be sure to refresh this page throughout the night to get the latest grades. You can keep track of all the picks for the entire draft and my grades in our draft tracker.
Grades: Round 1 • Round 2 • Round 3 • Round 4 • Round 5 • Round 6 • Round 7
185. Chargers, Nick Niemann, LB, Iowa
Grade: B
Tested like one of the best athletes at LB in this class. Didn’t quite see that type of short-area quickness and speed on film. Diagnoses in a flash and plays very under control. Minimal ball production but does have the smoothness to develop in that regard.
186. Jets, Hamsah Nasirildeen, FSU, S
Grade: B
Fits the mold of the modern-day SS/LB hybrid. Just wish I saw more urgency and play-making ability on film. Plays the run well, especially when he can tap into his range. Developmental type in coverage at this stage.
187. Falcons, Frank Darby, WR, Arizona State
Grade: B+
Athleticism galore on film. Dynamic running routes and has serious juice down the field. The only question — why wasn’t he more productive in college.
188. Patriots, Joshuah Bledsoe, S, Missouri
Grade: C+
Short-area quickness type at the safety spot who can cover short routes, but doesn’t have the acceleration and hip smoothness to stick down the field with WRs or TEs.
189. Eagles, Marlon Tuipulotu, DT, USC
Grade: C-
Thick, power-based defensive lineman with heavy feet. Can win battles in a phone booth because of his musculature, but provides little as a rusher up the field.
190. Bengals, Trey Hill, C, Georgia
Grade: C+
Squatty, run-blocking specialist at center. His power is derived from his low center of gravity but needs to get a sturdier anchor in pass pro. I like his quickness off the ball. Will execute combos well. Lacking length to control longer blockers.
191. Eagles, Tarron Jackson, EDGE, Coastal Carolina
Grade: B-
Uniquely shaped EDGE who can kick inside if need be. Bricks for hands and the bull rush is shocking at times. Average athletic traits. Very productive against lesser competition in 2020. Nice depth for Philly’s front.
192. Cowboys, Quinton Bohanna, DL, Kentucky
Grade: C
Another wide-body NT who has some athleticism to get up the field. Pocket pusher only. Not a sustained speed or pass-rush move type.
193. Panthers, Deonte Brown, OL, Alabama
Grade: B+
Gargantuan human being who plays low and is impossible to bull rush. Controlled movements to the second level in the run game and is a solid athlete for how large he is. No recovery skills if beaten in pass pro but very strong hands to control rushers.
