About this episode
In a surprising turn of events, the Green Bay Packers have lost more players than theyve gained in the recent NFL free agency. Their only notable additions include defensive lineman Javon Hargrave, cornerback Benjamin St-Juste, and wide receiver Skyy Moore. Theyve also traded for linebacker Zaire Franklin, giving up defensive lineman Colby Wooden.
The team has let go of several key players, including Rashan Gary, Elgton Jenkins, Romeo Doubs, and Quay Walker. With few big names left on the market, the Packers are looking to fill gaps through the 2026 NFL Draft.
Experts like John Kosko from Pro Football Focus warn that the Packers worst draft mistake would be ignoring cornerbacks early. The team lacks top talent to handle the NFCs best receivers, and skipping that could weaken their defense against strong offenses and hurt their Super Bowl chances.
While Keisean Nixon and Carrington Valentine hold down the perimeter, the teams depth at cornerback is a real concern. Without a first-round pick, the Packers start at number fifty-two in the second round. However, the draft class runs deep at cornerback, so they could potentially snag a starter on day two and build from there.
