One of my biggest pet peeves is when people say there's nothing to be learned from the NFL preseason.

Sure, we don't need to overreact to preseason games that are overwhelmingly unimportant — but to flat out ignore what we see from players and teams right before the regular season begins would be a mistake.

That's why I've updated my 2021 draft tiers to reflect recent news, preseason performances and more.

Reminder that you can read my detailed strategy for each position here — just be sure to combine those strategies with the latest rankings below for a full picture of how I'm drafting quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers and tight ends.
