Round 6: Ken Crawley, CB, Colorado (6-1, 180)

With the ascension of rookies Damarious Randall and Quentin Rollins, defensive back isn’t a major need on the Packers roster, even if Casey Hayward leaves in free agency.

However, the Packers might want to consider taking a corner in one of the later rounds to provide depth behind Sam Shields, Randall, and Rollins. Crawly could contribute immediately on special teams and compete with Demtri Goodson and Micah Hyde for playing time as a dime defensive back.

Crawley’s game remains raw, but he possesses the length, speed (4.51), and ball skills to compete at the next level. As a four-year starter for the Buffaloes, Crawley recorded 29 pass breakups, including 10 in his senior season alone.
