3. Trevon Diggs, CB, Alabama

Trevon Diggs is the younger brother to former Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs, giving him a good pedigree of NFL work. Trevon Diggs is currently projected to go in the mid-20s of the first round, but he could fall to Green Bay at 30.

He has a good combination of size and strength, standing 6-foot-1 and showing good speed. Like his brother, he has good hands which allows him to play as a ballhawk on defense. He’s also good at the line of scrimmage.

Diggs would give the Packers another young corner with a high ceiling who could replace King or surpass him in the coming years. He’s opposite Alexander in a lot of ways, also giving them diversity at corner. He might not be worth trading up for, but he’d be good value if he falls to number 30.
