An upcoming NFL draft deep at a number of defensive positions, including cornerback, should put the Green Bay Packers’ front office in position to shore up an anemic unit in dire need of difference-makers to support an Aaron Rodgers-led offense that’s ready to win now.

The recently-concluded Senior Bowl week featured several young athletes that could instantly impact an NFL roster, much like previous participants Keanu Neal and Kevin Byard did for their respective teams this past season.

The annual Mobile showcase, though, can be a double-edged sword in that it could highlight a player’s flaws along with his attributes.

This year’s edition both confirmed and revealed individual weaknesses that may have already torpedoed the draft stock of some prospects in the eyes of league talent evaluators.

The following pages include a few names that didn’t exactly shine during their week-long job interviews under the watchful eye of coaches, scouts and countless draftniks alike.
