Guard (G) First Round Draft Trends
This page tracks every guard selected in Round 1 of the NFL Draft from 2021 through 2025, with pick-by-pick scoring under both the Huddle Report and FantasyPros systems. Use the year toggles to isolate individual draft classes or compare G selection patterns across all five years.
Understanding how many guards go in Round 1 each year β and where in the round they cluster β is one of the most effective ways to improve mock draft accuracy. Position-specific trends help you decide whether to project a guard at a given slot or anticipate a position run that could push Gs into a different range than expected.
Build your 2026 mock draft with these historical G trends in mind, then check the accuracy leaderboard after draft night to see how your guard picks scored.
