The cornerback position starts three players at a time and currently has 35-year-old Tramon Williams, second-year pro Kevin King, and a host of unproven players. Safety, meanwhile, boasts 2017 Pro Bowl safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, second-year pro Josh Jones, and some high-quality depth in Kentrell Brice and Marwin Evans.
Cornerback is clearly the more pressing need. But two of the top two defensive backs in the draft are primarily viewed as safeties. That will lead to an interesting discussion in the Packers’ war room if the team has the good fortune of Minkah Fitzpatrick and/or Derwin James being available at #14.
