Over the next two weeks, Acme Packing Company takes a look at each position group on the Green Bay Packers and provides grades and insight on how they performed in the 2019 season. Today, we examine the cornerbacks.
The proximity to the name “cornerback” to “quarterback” fits nicely with Ron Wolf’s maxim of draft a quarterback as often as possible. They’re valuable, possibly the most valuable non-quarterback position on a roster, they’re hard to replace, and finding quality starters often proves just as difficult.
Brian Gutekunst, who comes from the Wolf school, follows this maxim, drafting two corners last year with his first two picks, hitting on a future star in Jaire Alexander while Josh Jackson’s future remains in doubt.
