Summary

Thor Nystrom and Eric Froton join Matt Stroup to look at the needs for the NFC North teams in the 2021 NFL Draft. Will the Packers finally add a first-round wide receiver for Aaron Rodgers to throw to — and if so, who will it be? Meanwhile, the Bears are in a difficult spot — priced out of the quarterback market — as they start the Andy Dalton era. We discuss the potential options for the Vikings to shore up their offensive line (including the dream scenario of trading up to land Penei Sewell), and the pass catchers the Lions could potentially target at seventh overall (with Ja’Marr Chase, Kyle Pitts and Jaylen Waddle among their best-case options). Plus, a look at Eric’s list of the top five EDGE rushers in this class, headlined by Miami’s Jaelan Phillips, who retired — and un-retired — before his breakout 2020 season.
