With the 29th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Green Bay Packers select:
Eric Stokes, CB, Georgia
Stokes' eye opening pro day propels him to the back end of the 1st.

Their track record picking Corners in the first round kind of stinks. I'm still trying to get the stench of Artie Burns out of my brain. That being said, I would still grab Farley if he slides as predicted. But I wouldn't be surprised at all if they grab Creed Humphrey- OC- Oklahoma. Pouncey retired, so Humphrey would be an instant starter. And there's something to be said about grabbing the best player at a position. But it looks like a pretty deep draft for offensive linemen, so we'll see.
And all THAT being said, I don't dislike Etienne. I'm not thrilled about his YPC dropping (from @8.0 previously) to 5.4 YPC, but he's got the hands and the jets to be a three-down weapon.

The Buffalo Bills walk, run, and sprint to the podium with the 30th pick of the 2021 draft:
Miami EDGE Gregory Rousseau
Perfect landing spot for a raw but talented prospect as the Bills pass rush was putrid last season and Rousseau has great burst to the QB.
If you have a losing record at Reds games, please stop going.
Seeing what happened in the Super Bowl when the starting OL was depleted, the Chiefs address that situation by selecting Alabama OG/OT, Alex Leatherwood.
Leatherwood is a prospect that’s had experience at both guard and offensive tackle. Containing a towering and filled-out frame in many areas, he has adequate strength as a run blocker as he’s able to attach and drive defenders out of desired areas. His aggressiveness is a key ingredient to success in the run game, as he can completely overpower targets that he’s able to square up and land his body cleanly on. As a pass protector, Leatherwood has a clean pass set that’s able to gain ground up the field in order to stymie rushers that simply attack him vertically.

Wow....we did not expect the first 31 picks to play out the way they have! Some people claim the 2021 Bucs have no holes, but they clearly have links in the chain that are weaker than others. So after making many desperate late phone calls to ensure there was no breaking news we missed out on that caused him to still be on the board....the Tampa Bay Buccaneers close out the 1st Round by selecting the 2020 Jim Thorpe Award winner, Trevon Moehrig (Safety - TCU).
Raise the Flags! Fire the Cannons!
After several years of inconsistent play from the Free Safety position from multiple players, Moehrig should be able to join the Bucs defensive backfield opposite of Antoine Winfield Jr. to solidify the back of the defense for the near future. Moehrig is a big athletic prototypical free safety with ball skills and the ability to impact the run defense. Also, the Bucs did return all of their starters from last year, but did lose several key special teams players in free agency...and Moehrig was one of the best special teams defensive players in the country while @ TCU.

Yeah, anything outside of an arrest for a violent crime or a medical red flag that has been kept a secret, he will be long gone. He will be a great mid to late 1st round pick because while he may not be a generational talent @ Safety, he checks all of the boxes to hold down the position for a decade for whoever selects him. I have seen some analysis knocking his athleticism, but I do not see it on film. He may not be an outlier uber athlete, but he is clearly a solid NFL level athlete in my opinion.
