Davis is the second offensive lineman the Vikings have selected in this draft, joining first-round pick Christian Darrisaw, a left tackle out of Virginia Tech who made an I m extremely excited, Davis said.

The New York Jets have selected wide receiver Elijah Moore with the 34th overall selection in the 2021 NFL Draft.
Elijah Moore is a 21 year old, 5’ 9”, 185 pound wide receiver out of Mississippi. He projects as a slot receiver in the NFL. Moore is a dynamic athlete with outstanding agility and quickness. He is a bit raw as a route runner but he is an electric target who is a threat to score whenever he touches the ball. An ultra-competitive receiver who reminds some of Antonio Brown, Moore is not very big, but he’s stronger than he looks and he’s fearless going over the middle of the field. Moore has great lateral quickness to separate and the long speed to be effective in deep routes. He has sure hands and excellent ball skills with an innate feel to find the open spots against zone defenses.
