After addressing defense on day one of the draft with cornerback Jaire Alexander, Green Bay continued their quest to improve a beleaguered unit that ranked 26th in points allowed in 2017. Green Bay started by selecting Joshua Jackson, a cornerback out of Iowa that many had predicted would be the pick at 14.
After getting a steal with Jackson in the 2nd, Green Bay made an aggressive play to get back into the 3rd round to select linebacker Oren Burks. Burks and Jackson, along with Jaire Alexander, are all players that are set to specifically aid Green Bay’s pass defense.
