Cory's Corner: Trade Highlights Packers' Misses

Damarious Randall was traded for DeShone Kizer in a move that will likely end Brett Hundley’s tenure in Green Bay. The Packers also moved up in the fourth and fifth rounds by swapping picks with the Browns.

This ends an inconsistent career for Randall, but it also sheds light on a larger Packers’ problem: first round misses. These are the Packers’ last seven first round picks: 2011 Derek Sherrod, 2012 Nick Perry, 2013 Datone Jones, 2014 Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, 2015 Randall, 2016 Kenny Clark and 2017 Kevin King.

When an NFL team drafts a first rounder, it needs that player to make an impact.
