Cornerback, offensive tackle, or defensive tackle would all make sense for the Green Bay Packers in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft.

There’s no reason for the Packers to panic at offensive tackle despite their struggles against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ pass rush in the NFC Championship Game. After all, the offensive line ranked No. 1 in pass block win rate and run block win rate in 2020, according to ESPN.

That said, the Packers have moved from Rick Wagner, who provided excellent backup at the tackle position in 2020.
