Packers Round 5 (174th overall): Kary Vincent Jr, CB, LSU

The Packers’ cornerback depth is severely lacking and even if they sign someone in free agency and draft someone early (as they do in this mock), they could circle back to the position once more. Kary Vincent Jr. is a bit undersized and is probably best for the slot. However, he could also play some safety which would provide Barry with some versatility within his secondary.

Packers Round 5 (178th overall): Marlon Williams, WR, UCF

Green Bay also doubles down with another wide receiver considering the unknowns of the position after next season. Marlon Williams racked up 71 receptions for 1037 yards and 10 touchdowns last year and is an incredibly physical receiver at 6-foot and 222 pounds. He’s not the fastest wide receiver and will struggle to create separation, however, he should be able to box out smaller corners, especially in the slot, and use his body and strong hands to haul in passes.
