Best Of The Best" Packers Suddenly Expected To Add Two Elite Cornerbacks ( Report)

The Green Bay Packers know that there are a few moves that need to be made to take that next step.  Back-to-back playoff appearances in the Jordan Love era is a remarkable start, regardless.  This off-season could see a few more major changes.

Their secondary may be one of the first areas to change.

Pro Football Network explained the two cornerbacks that Green Bay needs to target this off-season:

23) Green Bay Packers

Shavon Revel Jr., CB, East Carolina

Revel could be the steal of the class. Like Quinyon Mitchell a season ago, Revel was poised to go through the college all-star circuit and display his skills against the best of the best. A good showing in Mobile or Frisco could have cemented top-10 pick status for the 6-foot-2 cornerback, but a season-ending injury killed those dreams.

Still, nobody in the class can effortlessly hinge and carry vertically the way Revel can, and the playmaking cornerback has a Trevon Diggs-like knack for playing out of phase to bait quarterbacks into silly mistakes

87) Green Bay Packers

Zy Alexander, CB, LSU

Sometimes there is a perfect player-team fit in the mid rounds that you can’t take your eyes off of, and Alexander to the Packers to create and Alexander-squared cornerback duo feels perfect even without the name symmetry.
