2021 NFL Mock Draft: Green Bay Packers bolster their secondary

With the 29th pick in the 2021 NFL draft, the Green Bay Packers finally get Aaron Rodgers some help. *Borat voice* “Not.” After all, this is Green Bay we’re talking about, and the Packers hate first-round receivers like Eagles fans hate Howie Roseman like the Eagles hate first-round linebackers. Don’t believe me? The Packers last drafted a wide receiver in the first round back in 2002. Before that, it was 1988. Not quite as bad as the 42-year drought representing the last time the Eagles took a linebacker in the 1st, but the point remains that this franchise has historically shied away from first-round receivers.
