The leagues final four close out the first round of the 2021 NFL draft

The Packers have failed to give Aaron Rodgers a true number two wideout, even though they apparently tried to this offseason. Bringing back Aaron Jones is a step in the right direction, now adding Rondale Moore is an even better step. Moore can do everything that the West Coast offense asks of a number two wideout, just look at Deebo Samuel in San Francisco.
Pick Analysis. Tulsa. player. 16. Scouting Report. LB. ZavenCollins. 30
Even while the team brought back Matt Milano, Collins is a sensational defensive player. In 2019, Collins had 100+ tackles and barely any forced turnovers. In 2020 Collins proved to be the complete defensive player. The Bills can place Collins all over the field, and with a much improved AFC East, the Bills will need a faster and better defense.
Pick Analysis. OT. TevenJackson. 31. player. Scouting Report. Oklahoma State. 124
Adding two big-time guards in free agency is a great step in the right direction of protecting Patrick Mahomes. However, the team will need to add an offensive tackle after cutting their two starters. Adding Jenkins will allow the team to complete the plan of protecting their star quarterback.
player. Pick Analysis. RB. TravisEtienne. Scouting Report. Clemson. 32. 48
I couldn’t figure out what the Bucs loaded roster needed after bringing all their free agents back, except for Leonard Fournette. I think Bruce Arians would be fine letting Ronald Jones handle a full workload, but bringing in Etienne will give them a good secondary option that opens up the offense even more. It’s a stretch, especially after drafting Ke’Shawn Vaughn last year, but Etienne was also the top player on the board.
