Picks No. 31 and 32
. Cornerback. Kansas City Chiefs. Kyler Gordon. 31. player. 124
The Kansas City Chiefs are once again one of the best teams in the AFC, and they will go into the playoffs as the possible No. 1 seed overall, getting the only bye in the conference. Based on how they have looked on defense, they are going to be tough to beat, and you have to believe that this offense is going to get cooking soon.
Picking at No. 31 overall, the Chiefs should look to target the secondary, and one cornerback that could eek his way into the first round is Kyler Gordon from Washington. This is a kid who can cover deep, has tremendous speed, and if there is a chance for him to go up and get it, he has very good hands for a defensive back.
32. player. 49. . Wide Receiver. Green Bay Packers. Drake London
The final draft pick in the first round, if the 2021 NFL season ended today, would belong to the Green Bay Packers, which is surprising considering the way their season started. Aaron Rodgers is playing at an MVP level, the defense is stout, and if there is any NFC team that should be the favorite to get to the Super Bowl, it is them.
To close out the first round, the Packers do something for Rodgers that they have never done, and that is take a wide receiver on Day 1. That receiver is Drake London from USC, a big, fast wideout who can beat a team deep at any time, and a perfect complement to Davante Adams if the Packers can get him to come back in free agency.
