. Tight End. Green Bay Packers. Pat Freiermuth. 25. player. 49

The Green Bay Packers definitely look like the team to beat in the NFC so far this season, and their offense is rolling despite the fact they do not have a ton of weapons in the passing game. That has not stopped Aaron Rodgers from dominating early on, and they should be one of the last teams standing in the NFC this season.

Rodgers is always at his best when he has a solid pass-catching tight end, and the Packers can get him one in the first round with Penn State star Pat Freiermuth. This guy is a pass-catching machine, and would be a perfect addition to a Packers offense that is not going to be slowing down any time soon.

123. . Offensive Tackle. Dallas Cowboys. Dillon Radunz. 26. player

The Dallas Cowboys pulled off a miraculous victory on Sunday, as a perfectly-timed, and absolutely botched onside kick, helped them to a 40-39 victory over the Atlanta Falcons. With the win, the Cowboys moved to 1-1, an will have a tall task ahead of them this weekend against the 2-0 Seattle Seahawks.

Entering the 2021 NFL Draft, the Cowboys should look to add one of these premier offensive tackles, and Dillon Radunz could be available this late in round one. Tyron Smith will be entering his eleventh season in the league, and there is not much depth behind him, so Radunz could come in and start on the right side until he can take over on the left.

48. . Edge. Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Quincy Roche. 27. player

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers won their first game of the Tom Brady era this past weekend, beating the Carolina Panthers in an NFC South showdown. Brady looked much better in Game No. 2 with the Bucs, and if he can protect the ball, he has enough talent around him to make the playoffs in his first season in Tampa Bay.

That would mean the Bucs would be picking in the bottom half of the first round, and they should look to improve their edge rusher spot with the selection. Quincy Roche should join teammate Gregory Rousseau as first round picks this April, and on the Bucs, he would have the chance to start right away.

player. 42. . Safety. San Francisco 49ers. Jevon Holland. 28

The San Francisco 49ers may have beaten the New York Jets this past weekend, but they lost a ton of talent in the process. The 49ers saw key players go down on both sides of the ball, and with that, they may have hurt their chances of getting back to the Super Bowl as the representative of the NFC.

With that said, this is still a very talented team, and they currently are still one of the favorites to get back to the big game. If they are picking this late in round one, they should look to bolster their secondary, and bringing in a talented safety like Jevon Holland helps them fill one of their biggest holes on defense immediately.
