While the NFL moves forward with an unaltered schedule, college football has been thrown into disarray.
As the Kansas City Chiefs prepare to host the Houston Texans on Thursday night, the first full weekend of college football will take place without two Power 5 conferences _ the Big Ten and Pac-12 _ as well as the Mountain West and Mid-American. Most of the FCS has also decided to shut down, and the teams that are active are playing fewer games, often without fans in attendance.
It will be an unprecedented scouting season for the NFL's top decision-makers, who might not get to see some of the game's top prospects compete in 2020.
With that in mind, here are The Baltimore Sun's initial first-round projections for the 2021 NFL draft.
Note: The order is determined by ESPN's Football Power Index win projections.
