Packers help secondary by selecting Iowa’s Cooper DeJean in NFL.com mock draft

The Green Bay Packers bolstered their secondary depth in Eric Edholm’s first mock draft over at NFL.com, taking Iowa cornerback Cooper DeJean.

DeJean measures in at 6-1 and 207 pounds. In the last two seasons, he has played over 1,500 defensive snaps for the Hawkeyes, the bulk of which have come as a boundary cornerback.

In the most recent 2023 season, DeJean held pass catchers to just 20 completions on 46 targets (43.5%) and only 9.7 yards per catch. He also came away with four pass breakups and two interceptions.

The 2022 season for DeJean was impressive as well, holding opponents to a completion rate of 51.
