2021 NFL Mock Draft: Kyle Pitts lands in the top-5 of the first round
By Brad Weiss
29. player. 49. . Tight End. Green Bay Packers. Pat Freiermuth
The Green Bay Packers will look to make it back to the NFC title game again next season, as they are starting to run out of time with franchise quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers won the league MVP this past season but was clearly frustrated with the loss, and by selecting Pat Freiermuth, a pass-catching tight end from Penn State, they give him an elite option at tight end in the passing game.
Joseph Ossai. 30. player. 16. . Linebacker. Buffalo Bills
The Buffalo Bills proved to be the real deal this past season, making it all the way to the AFC Championship Game before losing to the Kansas City Chiefs. Heading into next season, they are going to be a team to beat in the AFC, and by selecting Joseph Ossai with pick No. 30 overall, they improve one of the few weak spots on their roster.
31. player. 124. . Offensive Tackle. Kansas City Chiefs. Liam Eichenberg
The Kansas City Chiefs were not able to repeat as Super Bowl champions this past year, as Patrick Mahomes had to run for his life the entire game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They lack depth at offensive tackle, and by selecting Liam Eichenberg with pick No. 31, they have a guy who can come in and start right away on the right or left side.

Edge. Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Azeez Ojulari. 32. player. 48.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers won it all this past season, and will now go into next year with a lot of financial decisions to make. They may not be able to bring back pass-rushing talent like Shaq Barrett or Ndamukong Suh, so with pick No. 32 overall, they land Azeez Ojulari, one of the best edge rushers in this draft class.
