Dream free agent 2: William Jackson

The last defensive player on this list is the top-rated cornerback available in free agency. William Jackson will likely break the bank if Green Bay goes this route, but it would give them one of the best cornerback duos in the entire NFL.

Jackson, a former first-round pick in 2016, missed his rookie year with a torn pectoral muscle before busting onto the scene in his second season. Although he hasn’t quite reached the levels from 2017, he’s still played pretty well on the outside. Jackson would surely see a high workload due to offenses wanting to avoid Alexander on the outside, and he might struggle at times, but he’s more than capable of handling the job.
