Building a Champion - Cornerbacks

Cornerbacks - if you do not have quality cornerbacks, you are in for a longgggggggg day!

So, how do the Packers corners hold up??

Jaire Alexander - 5'10" - 196 - Year 3

DeShaun Amos - 6'0" - 190 - Year 1

Kebion Ento - 6'1" - 187 - Year 1

Ka'Dar Hollman - 6'0 - 196 - Year 2

Josh Jackson - 6'0" - 196 - Year 3

Kevin King - 6'3" - 200 - Year 4

Chandon Sullivan - 5'11 - 189 - Year 3

Free Agent

Tramon Williams - 5'11 - 191 - Year 14

I would rate the Packer Corners at a C+, and moving in the correct direction!  Alexander and King are young and maturing!  Alexander is becoming the shut down corner.  He usually covers the best receiver.  At 6'3, King has become the corner that will cover the BIG tall receiver.  He is improving, but at times, injury prone.  With Tramon a free agent & unsigned at this time, our elder statesman may not be back!  Note, his 14 years of experince is greater than the sum of all the starting defensive backs! So, starters at defense - Safeties - Savage & Amos.  Corners - Alexander & King.  Now, about the backups?  But they need to make a jump this year - they are still NOT in the NFL top 20 list!

Josh Jackson, Ka'Dar Hollman, Chandon Sullivan all played a lot of football in 2019.  Adequate backups, but could do better!  Big disappointment so far, Josh Jackson - was drafted high!

So, another position that could be drafted, but I would wait till the 4-5th round!
