Will striking out in free agent cornerback market change Packers’ draft requirements?

Maybe we should start calling the front office Green and Goldilocks in the NFL draft. This one is too short. Another one is too slow. This one is just right.

The Green Bay Packers’ front office under Ted Thompson used rigid requirements for certain positions, rarely breaking from form particularly at the top of the draft. At the 2018 Combine, Brian Gutekunst insisted the draft process would remain mostly intact, an intimation the thresholds at the positions would stay.

But he didn’t say so for sure. Although Thompson himself never specifically confirmed the existence of such things, the data, particularly at several positions, speaks for itself.
