2021 NFL Mock Draft: Teams trading up for a franchise QB
By Brad Weiss
The Green Bay Packers made it all the way to the NFC Championship Game this past season, this without many legitimate weapons at wide receiver outside of Davante Adams. With pick No. 29 this April, the Packers look to give star quarterback Aaron Rodgers a threat to match up with Adams, bringing in Kadarius Toney from the University of Florida.
The Buffalo Bills proved themselves to be legit this season, making it all the way to the AFC Championship Game before losing to Kansas City. Picking at No. 30 overall, the Bills bring in a talented defensive player in Azeez Ojulari, who can play both linebacker and come off the edge at the next level.
The Kansas City Chiefs were unable to repeat as Super Bowl champions, as they were beaten soundly on both sides of the ball by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes had to run for his life all game long, and this off-season, you can expect them to bolster their offensive line, starting here with Ohio State interior lineman Wyatt Davis towards the bottom of the first round.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are officially Super Bowl champions, as Tom Brady won his seventh ring and his first with this franchise. To close out the first round, the Bucs select wake Forest edge rusher, Carlos Basham Jr., bringing in more talent to a defensive group that was absolutely dominant against the Chiefs.
