CORNERBACK
Cornerback doesn’t appear to be an immediate need for the Packers, but they may draft a defensive back with Tramon Williams entering the final year of his contract and the possibility of moving Micah Hyde to safety this season.
Kyle Fuller (No. 3) and Darqueze Dennard (No. 2) may slide to the Packers in the first round and be too good to pass up. The Packers may also consider a bigger corner like Utah’s Keith McGill (No. 8) or Lindenwood’s Pierre Desir (No. 9) with the intent of moving him to safety.
