Packers Take Brian Branch-Style Defensive Back in New NFL Mock Draft

GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers entered the offseason with enormous questions surrounding their cornerbacks.

A new mock draft by CBS Sports’ Ryan Wilson provided an interesting conundrum. With Green Bay up at No. 23, Texas’ Jahdae Barron and East Carolina’s Shavon Revel were available.

Barron is a bit undersized and perhaps more of a slot than a pure corner, but the Texas star won the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation’s top defensive back and is a proven playmaker against big-school competition.

Revel is 6-foot-3 and a pure perimeter corner, which might be the bigger priority for the Packers.
