Friday Cheese Curds: The Packers’ 2021 rookie class can step in immediately

With the NFL Draft almost a week in the rear view mirror, it’s time to take a closer look at what exactly the Green Bay Packers have in their prospects and what they can contribute in 2021 and beyond.

In short, the Packers are really hedging their bets particularly on their early round selections.

Eric Stokes is likely expected to come in and compete immediately for the second starting cornerback slot next to Jaire Alexander. Green Bay did bring back Kevin King and Chandon Sullivan but taking a cornerback in the first round sends a clear message that the two veterans are not viewed as the long term answer.
