How comfortable is the team with the current CBs?

Going into the draft, the Packers absolutely need to look at the incoming class of cornerbacks. Last season, they suffered so many injuries in the secondary and it really showed the lack of depth at the position. However, the draft has a lot of depth at this position. Lombardi Ave’s own Dan Dahlke suggests fixing this need early on in the draft and I wholeheartedly agree with him.

Dahlke believes Florida’s Quincy Wilson would be a good fit:

"“He excels in press-man coverage and has very good ball skills. Even though opposing quarterbacks seldom threw his way, he still managed to record five interceptions and 11 pass breakups in his last two seasons at Florida.”"

Wilson and Kevin King are two CBs who could potentially be available. The Packers really shouldn’t be content with the secondary until they add at least 1-2 more solid CBs to the lineup. They do have quite a few young guys at the position already, so the hope will be that they can further develop their skills for the upcoming season.
