On paper, cornerback is far from a must-address position for the Green Bay Packers. However, general manager Brian Gutekunst could be tempted in the early rounds of the draft by what is a deep cornerback class that tested very well at the NFL Scouting Combine.
On Daniel Jeremiah’s latest big board, he had seven cornerbacks in his top 50, the most behind only the edge rusher position. Doug Farrar of Touchdown Wire also had seven cornerbacks in his top 50.
At the combine, this cornerback group as a whole had a very impressive showing. Out of 25 cornerbacks who posted a Relative Athletic Score (RAS), 17 scored above an 8.
