2021 NFL Mock Draft: Eagles bring in competition for Jalen Hurts
By Brad Weiss
29. player. 49. . Wide Receiver. Green Bay Packers. Terrace Marshall Jr.
The Green Bay Packers need to make sure they make Aaron Rodgers happy this offseason, and they start by selecting a wide receiver with their first-round pick this April. In this selection, Terrace Marshall Jr. gives him a solid No. 2 option at wideout alongside Davante Adams and should keep him happy for another season in Green Bay.
16. . Edge. Buffalo Bills. Jayson Oweh. 30. player
The Buffalo Bills proved to the world that they are the real deal this past season, and now they have to continue to stockpile talent on the defensive side of the ball. Head coach Sean McDermott is a defensive genius, and in Jayson Oweh, he would be getting an explosive playmaker who can make some serious noise coming off the edge.
Alex Leatherwood. 31. player. 124. . Offensive Tackle. Kansas City Chiefs
The Kansas City Chiefs hope to have their full complement of offensive linemen back this upcoming season, but salary cap issues could force their hand to get rid of a few veterans. If they do, Alex Leatherwood from Alabama is the play here at pick No. 31 overall, as he has the versatility to play every spot outside of center.

Edge. Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Carlos Basham Jr.. 32. player. 48.
With the final pick in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft, the Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers add an edge rusher to the mix in Carlos Basham Jr. Financially, this team likely cannot afford to bring back all of their stars on defense next season, and in Basham Jr., they get an NFL-ready edge rusher who can come in and start right away.
