6th round: Darren Hall, San Diego St

Darren Hall is another player who is considered an elite athlete with an RAS score of 8.05. He’s a bit on the smaller side at 5-foot-11, but has a high football I.Q. and has done nothing but improve every single season. He might take some time to develop but could turn into a dime corner down the road.

5th round: Israel Mukuamu, South Carolina

Mukuamu is a MASSIVE corner and would give Green Bay a different type of player in their secondary. At 6-foot-4 with a pterodactyl-sized wingspan, he would be an interesting prospect in the fifth round. He was spread all over the field in his final season at South Carolina, taking 45 snaps at safety, 28 in the box, 42 in the slot and 123 on the outside. That versatility would be welcomed with the Packers. He needs a lot of improvement in his agility, as you might expect with someone his size.

4th round: Robert Rochell, Central Arkansas

Rochell is one of the best athletes at his position in this year’s class–an early theme here with Packers’ targets at cornerback. He has elite speed and great athletic abilities across the board. However, he’s a project that will require the coaching staff to work extremely closely with him on his technique. If he can master the fundamentals the sky is the limit.
