For the Green Bay Packers, there may not be a position group that has generated more discussion than the cornerbacks.
The release of Jaire Alexander, paired with losing former first-round pick Eric Stokes in free agency, left the cornerback group perilously thin. Keisean Nixon and Carrington Valentine were holdovers from last season but had never been asked to play a full season on the boundary.
Surely, the Packers would target a cornerback early in the NFL Draft, right?
Wrong.
As it turns out, they took three offensive players with their first three picks, passing on defensive backs such as Trey Amos from Ole Miss, Maxwell Hairston from Kentucky and Will Johnson from Michigan in the first two rounds.
