In just a few days Roger Goddell will walk across a stage and stand behind a podium. The words that will come out of his mouth will be the culmination of years of hard work and the realization of dreams for the hundreds of players that are selected in the 2021 NFL Draft.

The Florida Gators have more than a dozen NFL prospects in this year's draft with Kyle Pitts expected to be a top 10 pick, Kyle Trask expected to be the first Gator quarterback drafted since Tim Tebow.

The NFL Draft process can be hectic with information, misinformation, smoke screens, and more mock drafts than you can count Gators Territory wanted to compile it all into one place to break down the Florida Gators' 2021 NFL Draft class. We used NFL.com's draft projections to create our list, there are more draft-eligible players that could get drafted but are not projected to be at this point.

Projected: Top 10 pick

After one of the most productive seasons in Florida football history, Kyle Pitts is viewed alongside Clemson's Trevor Lawrence as one of the surest picks in the entire draft. Pitts' breakout campaign in 2020 — 43 catches and 12 touchdowns — earned him the John Mackey Award and millions of dollars.

Pitts could go as high as No. 4 to the Atlanta Falcons, while most expect he won't make it past the Miami Dolphins at No. 6

Projected: Late first round

A year ago at this time, Kadarius Toney wasn't being thought of as a serious NFL Draft prospect. Then Toney went from a seldom-used gadget player to leading the Gators with 70 receptions for 984 yards and 10 touchdowns, showing his transformation into a true receiving threat. Toney is an atypical slot receiver in the NFL but a lot of teams view him in the same mold as the Kansas City Chief's receiver Tyrek Hill. Toney's pro day only fueled those perceptions and could land him in the first round on Thursday.

Projected: 2nd-3rd round

Trask may have the best story in the draft this year and he just completed one of the best seasons a quarterback has ever had at the University of Florida. There are two types of teams in the NFL, those with a franchise quarterback and teams looking for a franchise quarterback. Trask is generally viewed as the 6th quarterback that will come off the board in this draft. We like his fit New England, New Orleans or Pittsburgh.

Projected: 3rd round

You can't teach 6-8 and 307 pounds with the athleticism that Forsythe exhibits in pass protection. That, coupled with an impressive pro day performance has turned Forsythe's draft stock in a positive direction. He started 25 games for Florida at left tackle, where he projects to play, eventually, at the next level. Forsythe fits in well with a pass-first team.

Projected: 4th round

Wilson arrived at Florida and immediately earned a starting role before his sophomore season was ended in the second week against Kentucky due to an ACL injury. Wilson returned to his senior season with underwhelming results but showed his potential and athleticism with an astounding pro day.

Projected: 5th-6th round

Davis is a hard-hitting safety that had some trouble staying on the field at times while at Florida. He has the size, speed, and attitude you need to excel at the position but had to pull out of his pro day with a hamstring injury, but luckily nothing long term.

Projected: 6th-7th round

With the NFL going more and more pass-happy, Slaton is a value pick later in the draft. A big, athletic defensive tackle who can get after the passer, take on double teams, and create for others, Slaton will make some team happy when he's picked on the third day of the draft.

Projected: 5th-7th round

Grimes had his most productive season in his final year in Gainesville catching 38 passes for 589 yards and nine touchdowns. Grimes showed his speed and started to really play like a receiver of his size, going up and using his height and length to his advantage.

Projected: 7th - Undrafted free agent

McPherson surprised Gator Nation when he declared early for the draft, as kickers aren't generally valued highly. McPherson leaves Florida with an 85-percent conversion rate on field goals.
