GREEN BAY, Wis. With Jaire Alexander, Rasul Douglas and Eric Stokes, the Green Bay Packers dont need a starting cornerback. But they do need to improve their depth.The Packers dont draft short guys at any position, and that certainly includes cornerback. Call it the ghosts of Ron Wolf and Mike Sherman, who swung and mi sed on undersized Terrell Buckley in 1992 and Ahmad Carroll in 2004. In the 17 drafts conducted by Ted Thompson and Brian Gutekunst, 16 cornerbacks were selected. Jaire Alexander was a real outlier at 5-foot-10 1/4 a half-inch shorter than any other corner and at least an inch shorter than 10 corners but still over that 5-foot-10 Mendoza Line, as Gutekunst put it before the 2021 draft. Blazing speed hasnt been a nece sity. While 11 were faster than historic Combine average of 4.50 seconds, Shemar Jean-Charles (4.52 in 2021), Demetri Goodson (4.52 in 2014), Micah Hyde (4.56 in Akiem Hicks Jersey 2013), Josh Jackson (4.56 in 2018) and Quinten Rollins (4.57 in 2015) were slower. The 20-yard shuttle seems to be a big deal at most positions but not at corner. The historic Combine average is 4.17. Six were faster and 10 were slower. Casey Hayward (3.90 in 2012), Kevin King (3.89 in 2017 Nick Kwiatkoski Jersey ) and Alexander (3.98 in 2018) got under 4.00 seconds; 2021 first-round pick Eric Stokes (4.36), former Gonzaga basketball player Goodson (4.34 in 2014) and Jean-Charles (4.33) were at the other end of the spectrum.How about the three-cone drill? From 2011 through 2020, nine of the 10 corners selected beat the historic Combine average of 6.94 seconds by at least 0.08 seconds. That seemed noteworthy. King (6.56), Davon House (6.65 in 2011), Alexander (6.71), Hayward (6.76) and Hyde (6.78) crushed the average. Stokes produced a 6.96 in 2021, so right about the average, but Jean-Charles clocked in at 7.15.The vertical jumps have ranged from 31 inches to 41 inches. Randalls 8 5/8-inch hands are about a half-inch smaller than the average. Arm length has ranged from 30 1/4 inches to Stokes 32 3/4 inches. Putting all the athletic numbers into the kettle, here are their in chronological order: Michael Hawkins (2005), 7.35; Will Blackmon (2006), 9.72; Pat Lee (2008), 8.05; Brandon Underwood (2009), 7.81; Davon House (2011), 7. Jonathan Bullard Jersey 37; Casey Hayward (2012), 7.14; Micah Hyde (2013), 4.73; Demetri Goodson (2014), 5.28; Damarious Randall (2015), 8.82; Quinten Rollins (2016), 4.71; Kevin King (2017), 9.94; Jaire Alexander (2018), 9.54; Josh Jackson (2018), 9.27; Kadar Hollman (2019), 9.22; Eric Stokes (2021), 9.37; Shemar-Jean Charles (2021), 4.27.Over the last five drafts, the Packers selected six corners. Five had a RAS of at least 9.20 and Jean-Charles scored below-average. The bizarro pick of the bunch was Rollins, who was slower than the average in the 40 (4.57), shuttle (4.28) and three-cone drill (7.10) while having only average height (5-11 1/8) and explosivene s (36.5 vertical). Not coincidentally, his career lasted just three seasons. So, who could be out?Going with 5-foot-10 (no rounding allowed) as the cutoff, you can bet your bottom dollar that Houstons Marcus Jones (5-foot-8), a Day 2 prospect because of his coverage skill and brilliance as a returner, isnt on the board. The only other short cornerbacks who are likely to be drafted are South Carolina States Cobie Durant (5-9 5/8 William Perry Jersey ) and East Carolinas JaQuan McMillian (5-9 3/4). Potentially out due to arm length are Washington's Trent McDuffie (29 3/4), Auburns Roger McCreary (28 7/8), Jones (28 7/8) Gale Sayers Jersey and his Houston sidekick, Damarion Williams (29 5/8), and McMillian (29). McDuffie is a first-round prospect, and McCreary could join Jones in the second round.Scroll to ContinueClemsons Coby Bryant (7.31 in the three-cone), Fayetteville States Joshua Williams (4.47 in the shuttle) and Pitts Damarri Mathis (8 1/4 hands) are other Day 2 options who might be off the board.Only Georgias Derion Kendrick (4.78) would be out based on 40 time.Baylors Kalon Barnes is the fastest man in the draft with his 4.23 in the 40, but he produced terrible times in the shuttle (4.58) and three-cone drill (7.44).Alabamas Jalyn Armour-Davis ran a 4.39 in the 40 but is on the fringe with the shuttle (4.37) and three-cone (7.26).LSUs Cordale Flott (8 inches) has incredibly small hands.Related Stories
