The 2021 NFL Draft is set to begin and you can track each pick here. This year's draft offers one of the most anticipated first rounds in years. If you like offense, this is the draft to watch as the top three players taken are projected to be quarterbacks for the first time since 1999 and this NFL draft will attempt to break the record for consecutive offensive players taken to start a draft (six, set in 1999).
The 2021 NFL Draft has the potential of having three wide receivers taken in the top 10 for the first time since 2017 and just the second time since 2005. There are plenty of storylines and records set to be made in this year's NFL Draft, and we got you covered here at CBS Sports.

Some fun facts about this year's draft
This year's draft has some history to be made. Here are some notes leading into the draft:
-- If Trevor Lawrence goes to the Jaguars with the first overall pick, he'd be the first player in Clemson history to be drafted No. 1 and the first to be drafted in the top-3.
-- If three quarterbacks are drafted in the top six, this will be the third time in the common-draft era (since 1967) that's happened:
- 2020: Joe Burrow (1st), Tua Tagovailoa (5th), Justin Herbert (6th)
- 1999: Tim Couch (1st), Donovan McNabb (2nd), Akili Smith (3rd)
- 1971: Jim Plunkett (1st), Archie Manning (2nd), Dan Pastorini (3rd)
-- If Mac Jones, DeVonta Smith and Jaylen Waddle all get drafted in the first round, Alabama would be the first school ever to have a quarterback and two wide receivers drafted in the first round of the same draft in multiple drafts.
-- If six quarterbacks are taken in the first round, it would be the first time that's happened since 1983 (when Hall of Famers Jim Kelly, John Elway, and Dan Marino were drafted). Five quarterbacks were taken in the first round in 1999 and 2018 -- and is expected in 2021.
