We are just days away from the NFL Draft as everyone is getting excited for some sports-related events to take place. With the Draft being virtual this year, due to the pandemic, it will not stop the names of College Football’s best being called by the commissioner.
It is our mission at Top Dawg Blogging to be cover where some of the Dawgs might end up hearing their name called. Where is the “swift” one known as D’Andre Swift going to start his career? Atlanta Falcons While the signing of Todd Gurley, this offseason damper the idea of seeing Swift stay in the red and black. There is still talk that we could see a Gurley and Swift tandem backfield in the Peach State next season. The Falcons hold the 16th overall pick in the Draft and could use that pick on Swift if they want him. While they likely the pick defense, there is still hope that Swift could stay in the state of Georgia for the next part of his career. The Falcons also hold the 47th pick in the second round, which if Swift is somehow still available, they could also use to pick Swift. Kansas City Chiefs The defending Super Bowl champs are being projected by many to take Swift with their first-round pick. In those mocks, it also means that Swift would be the only running back coming off the board in the first round. Swift would go to the Chiefs with the 32nd pick of the Draft, which is the last pick of the first round, which would be a steal for the Chiefs at 32 as he would add some production to the already stacked KC offense that won them a Super Bowl. Swift is an excellent runner who can beat defenders to the edge, and once he makes it to the open field, he is very dangerous and is a home run capable back every time he gets the ball. Swift would translate well into the Chiefs offense as he is a very good pass-catcher out of the backfield, which would provide Andy Reid with a lot of options when trying to get the ball to Swift. Miami Dolphins Miami is a team with a lot of draft capital for this year, as they have a plethora of picks to make this April. The Dolphins have three picks in the first round alone. While Miami is expected to draft the quarterback of the future early on, they could also bring their running back of the future in the first round. The earliest Swift could go to the Dolphins realistically is at 18, but if they feel that it is too early to pull the trigger on Swift, they could do it a few picks later at 26. The Dolphins traded away Kenyan Drake to the Arizona Cardinals and need a running back. Swift has currently ranked the top running back in this draft class and would be the perfect running back for any quarterback that they decide to take in this Draft. These teams are considered likely to take Swift except the Falcons, as it would be a massive surprise if they end up grabbing Swift. Another team to watch is the Tampa Buccaneers, as they are rumored to be interested in taking a running back this Draft. With the 14th pick, it is unlikely they’ll skip out on a franchise tackle for a running back.
