No. 29 – Green Bay Packers – Eric Stokes (CB)
The Packers elect not to help Aaron Rodgers’ receiving corps with this pick. Instead, they choose the Georgia product in Stokes, who is tall and twitchy with long arms. A cerebral defender, Stokes will aim to improve Green Bay’s secondary in 2021 and beyond.
With the 29th overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft, #Packers select: Eric Stokes, cornerback, Georgia. Fills maybe the biggest team need with a freak athlete who ran a 4.25 40 at pro day. Terrific size at 6-1, 194 pounds. Good add to a secondary that was torched in NFC title game.

No. 30 – Buffalo Bills – Gregory Rousseau (EDGE)
An extremely talented edge rusher who broke out with 15.5 sacks as a true sophomore in 2019, Rousseau opted out of the 2020 college season. Unfortunately, a poor Pro Day performance tanked his draft stock, but he remains arguably the most explosive and athletic edge rusher in the class. Rousseau has the upside to become one of the league’s premier pass rushers within his first few seasons and should become an IDP asset by year two.
The #Bills add to their defensive front, selecting #Miami DL Greg Rousseau at No. 30. He fell after a rough Pro Day, but still ends up in the first round.
