Cornerbacks (6): Jaire Alexander, Kevin King, Eric Stokes, Shemar Jean-Charles, Chandon Sullivan, and Kabian Ento

Cornerback will be amazing to watch as the preseason moves on. Rookie first-round pick Eric Stokes barely played against Houston, potentially tipping the Packers’ hand that he already earned his spot on the depth chart? Shemar Jean-Charles has also been in the conversation for their “star” position at times. Kabian Ento continues to impress and gets the final spot over Ka’Dar Hollman.

Safeties (5): Darnell Savage, Adrian Amos, Will Redmond, Vernon Scott, and Henry Black

I went with five safeties to balance out only keeping six cornerbacks. Vernon Scott and Henry Black both impressed on Saturday and took a strong step forward to earning a spot on the roster. It also helped their primary competition–Will Redmond–missed the game due to injury. Still, those three will continue to battle it out for their spots on the depth chart and the possibility Green Bay only keeps four safeties.
