Top 5 'Packers type' cornerbacks in 2025 NFL draft: Hairston closest to a first-round fit

With all the attention being given to edge rushers, defensive line and wide receiver positions, it seems to be going under the radar that cornerback is still arguably one of the Green Bay Packers’ biggest needs in the 2025 NFL draft.

With Jaire Alexander’s days in Green Bay seemingly numbered, and Keisean Nixon not a guarantee to be on the roster in 2026, Nate Hobbs and Carrington Valentine might be the only long-term building blocks on the current depth chart.

For all the questions general manager Brian Gutekunst had to answer about why he did not draft a corner until Round 7 last year, when they had Alexander, it seems strange that so many are accepting the notion that the Packers could wait to address corner this time around.
