The Green Bay Packers have a pressing need at cornerback and it's a safe bet that Brian Gutekunst uses multiple picks on the position during the 2026 NFL Draft. Here are seven names for Packers fans to keep tabs on today.
Will Lee III, Texas A&M
After opting out of the Senior Bowl, this will be a big week for the Texas A&M cornerback. Lee checks the boxes with his length and athleticism. He's a feisty and physical cornerback who does a good job of utilizing his frame to challenge wide receivers at the catch point. The Kansas State transfer has agile feet and the fluidity to stay attached. During his two seasons at College Station, Lee broke up 18 passes. He's a player the Packers could target with one of their Day 2 picks.
Davison Igbinosun, Ohio State
At 6-2 with long arms, Igbinosun has the frame that teams are looking for at cornerback. With his length and athleticism, he has the tools to be a lockdown boundary cornerback. He's a physical cornerback who uses his length to disrupt receivers at the catch point. Like Lee, the Ohio State cornerback could be a potential target on Day 2 for the Packers.
Charles Demmings, Stephen F. Austin
Demmings certainly looks the part. He’s a physical and athletic cornerback. Demmings finished this past season with four interceptions and nine pass deflections. A former track athlete, Demmings has the long speed to stay attached to receivers on vertical routes. Demmings could be one of the top testers and will likely be high on Green Bay's board when Day 3 of the draft opens up on April 25th.
Thaddeus Dixon, UNC
Dixon started his collegiate career at the JUCO level before landing with Washington. Dixon transferred to North Carolina for the 2025 season and was limited to seven games due to an injury he suffered against Clemson. Dixon finished the season with six pass deflections. The former track athlete plays with controlled feet and stays coordinated in his pedal. He’s a physical cornerback who won’t shy away from sticking his nose up in run support. He's a fourth-round player for me right now, but it would not shock me to see the Packers target him with the 84th overall pick.
Julian Neal, Arkansas
At 6-1, 202 pounds, Neal has the size NFL teams are looking for in boundary cornerbacks. He's quick-footed and has good short-area quickness. He smoothly opens his gait to stay attached on vertical routes. The Arkansas cornerback is a willing participant in run support and was dinged for just three missed tackles all season. I'm excited to watch him go through the on-field drills. The Arkansas product is another one of the cornerbacks who the Packers could target on Day 2 of the draft.
Devin Moore, Florida
Moore has an ideal frame with the length to tighten passing windows. The Florida cornerback has the vertical speed to stay attached on vertical routes and the recovery speed to make up for any missteps. He may or may not be on Green Bay's board due to durability concerns, but if the Packers feel comfortable with his medicals, he could prove to be a steal in the third round. With his frame and athleticism, he's worth the gamble, given the potential reward.
Domani Jackson, Alabama
A former five-star recruit and track athlete, Jackson could put on a show when he runs the 40-yard dash. Jackson lost his starting job in the middle of the season, before getting back in the starting lineup for the final three games. He's a player who always left me wanting more, but when you get to the fifth or sixth round, his athleticism could be worth the gamble.
