GREEN BAY, Wis. – In a three-round mock draft put together by ESPN.com’s Mel Kiper Jr. and Field Yates, the Green Bay Packers selected Iowa defensive back Cooper DeJean in the first round.
In making that pick, Kiper said: “Some teams see him as a safety, but I think he can be a No. 1 corner.”
Corner was DeJean’s position at Iowa. He had three pick-sixes among five interceptions in 2022 and added a couple more interceptions in 2023.
The draft hammered most of Green Bay’s big needs.
Offensive tackle? Kiper picked Houston’s Patrick Paul, a three-year starting left tackle who “might be a first-rounder in most other drafts,” at No.
