The draft was held in Cleveland, Ohio from April 29 to May 1, 2021.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.clevelandbrowns.com/news/dates-are-set-for-2021-nfl-draft-in-cleveland|title=Dates are set for 2021 NFL Draft in Cleveland|website=Cleveland Browns|date=April 28, 2020|access-date=April 28, 2020}}</ref>
Five quarterbacks were selected in the first round—Trevor Lawrence, Zach Wilson, Trey Lance, Justin Fields and Mac Jones—the second highest amount (along with the 1999 and 2018 drafts) after the six selected in 1983 and 2024. The draft also marked the third time the first three picks were quarterbacks, following the 1971 and 1999 drafts. A total of eight quarterbacks<!-- DO NOT list them --> were selected in the first three rounds, the most in NFL draft history, although only two quarterbacks were taken in the remaining rounds. By 2024, Lawrence was the only first-round quarterback to remain with his original team.
In addition to the high number of quarterbacks, six Alabama players were taken in the first round, which is tied with the six Miami players picked in 2004 for the most from an individual school. Conversely, no Big 12 Conference players were drafted in the first round for the first time since the conference began play in 1996 and no Michigan State players were selected for the first time since 1941.
Scouts considered the later rounds of the draft to lack desirable prospects due to the COVID-19 pandemic shortening the 2020 college football season. The NCAA granted an extra year of eligibility and an opt-out option for athletes because of the shortened season, resulting in many prospects returning to school instead of declaring for the draft.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.si.com/nfl/packers/news/welcome-to-an-nfl-draft-thats-short-on-prospects|title=Welcome to an NFL Draft That's Short on Prospects|website=FanNation|date=April 29, 2021}}</ref>

==Resolution JC-2A picks== Resolution JC-2A, which was enacted by the NFL in November 2020, rewards teams for developing minority candidates for head coach and/or general manager positions.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Bell|first=Jarrett|title=NFL approves plan to reward teams with draft picks for developing minority coaches, GMs|url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2020/11/10/nfl-minority-coach-general-manager-hiring-proposal-approved/6234064002/|work=USA Today|access-date=January 16, 2021}}</ref> The resolution rewards teams whose minority candidates are hired away for one of those positions by awarding draft picks. These draft picks are at the end of the third round, after standard compensatory picks; if multiple teams qualify, they are awarded in draft order from the first round. These picks are in addition to, and have no impact on, the standard 32 compensatory picks.<ref>{{Cite web|title=2020 Resolution JC-2A|url=https://overthecap.com/2020-resolution-jc-2a/|access-date=January 16, 2021|work=Over the Cap}}</ref> Four picks have been awarded for the draft pursuant to the resolution. {{notelist}}
