NFL Nation reporters assess every second-round pick.

Why they did it: When you fielded the 31st-ranked pass defense last season, what choice do you have but to pick a cornerback? And this isn’t just any cornerback. It’s a 6-foot-3, 200-pounder who ran a 4.43 40-yard dash at the combine. He becomes the Packers’ biggest cornerback, one inch taller than LaDarius Gunter. The Packers allowed 26 passing touchdowns to wide receivers last season, most in the NFL, and they had only seven interceptions on passes to receivers last season, tied for the second fewest in the NFL.
