Why does it seem as though the Green Bay Packers draft defensive backs nearly every year, often in very high rounds, and yet at the end of every season the position still seems to be a weak spot?
In the past ten years the Packers have drafted a total of sixteen defensive backs, defined here as corners and safeties. Nine of them, that’s more than half, were taken in the first or second round. You would think, with that kind of draft capital invested in the position, the Packers would be set for years in the secondary.
But here we are heading into another spring draft season and once again there is a glaring weakness on the back end.
