Trying to predict who the Green Bay Packers might draft has never been harder than it is this season.
The Packers don’t have a fist round pick courtesy of the Micah Parsons trade. And the way things stand today, Green Bay’s first selection won’t come until the second round at No. 52 overall.

Green Bay is in dire need of cornerback help, though. The depth of this year’s class is also impressive, as at least 12 corners are expected to go in the first three rounds.
So don’t be surprised if Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst uses his second round pick on a corner.
Here are five cornerbacks the Packers could select at No. 52.

4.48 40-time
The skinny: Igbinosun began his career at Mississippi, then started the last three seasons at Ohio State.
Igbinosun has the size the Packers crave. His arms also measured 32 7/8 inches, the longest among the top corners.

“I would say some of my best traits is my physical ability at the line of scrimmage,” Iginosun said. “I have long arms, play press man, disrupt the timing and I would say I tackle very well. I put my face in defenders, I’m not afraid of the run.”
Igbinosun finished his collegiate career with 192 tackles, four interceptions, 25 passes defensed and zero forced fumbles.
Igbinosun typically played boundary corner at Ohio State, meaning he wasn’t the Buckeyes’ top corner. That’s far from a crime, though, considering OSU typically has some of the top corners in the country.
“I think my skills will translate, day one, to the NFL.” He said. “Just because you can’t teach what I have. Like, I’m ultra-competitive. I feel like, day one of going to the NFL, I aspire to go against the best and compete against the best.” The greatest red flag is that Igbinosun was penalized 16 times in 2024, more than any corner in the country. Most were for pass interference or holding. He showed significant improvement in that area in 2025, but that issue still concerns scouts.“In 2024, I realized that a lot of the reps, I wasn’t in a bad position,” Igbinosun said. “I was actually in a good position. I wasn’t getting ran by. They weren’t running past me. I just needed more poise. Just getting my head around and playing football.”

The skinny: Gutekunst loves Georgia players the way Homer Simpson loved Duff beer. And there’s a lot to love with Everette.
Everette has the size teams covet. He’s fast and has long arms (31 7/8). And he was highly productive, starting 41 games over the last three seasons and finishing with five interceptions, 16 passes defensed, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and 96 tackles.
Everette has played in countless big games, will line up outside and could be an immediate starter.
The knocks on Everette are he struggles transitioning in and out of breaks, concedes too many underneath completions and his man coverage technique needs work.

“He’s got great size, great toughness,” Georgia coach Kirby Smart said of Everette. “He’s shown up over and over. He’s tough. He’s physical. He’s got great ball skills. He played boundary corner for us and he was our guy that could go put hands on people and play physical.”

4.65 40-time
The skinny: Terrell was seen as a potential late first round draft pick before he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.69 and 4.64 seconds during a private workout on March 30. Afterwards, he told scouts he had a hamstring issue that affected his times.
“It’s hard to ask him to cover one-on-one on the outside with that time,” an AFC scout told ESPN. “It’s an issue. I wish it wasn’t but it is. I think some teams will consider him more inside as a result.”

Despite Terrell’s brutal 40 time, there’s a lot to like.
Terrell, whose older brother A.J. was a 2020 first round draft pick by Atlanta, had a passer rating allowed of 73.9 while at Clemson, according to Pro Football Focus. And according to PFF, Terrell allowed just 836 passing yards in 1,113 coverage snaps.
In the last two seasons, Terrell forced a whopping eight fumbles, had two interceptions, 21 passes defensed, four sacks and three fumble recoveries. Terrell, a third-year junior, is also just 21.
The combination of Terrell being undersized and his slow 40-time, though, could mean he slides down draft boards.

The skinny: Spent two years at a junior college, one season at Kansas State and two as a full-time starter at Texas A&M. Many scouts insist he plays faster than he timed.
He led all corners at the NFL Combine in vertical jump (42 inches) and broad jump (11-feet). His arms are also 32 ¾ inches.
During Lee’s three years of Division 1 football, he had four interceptions, 24 passes defensed, two forced fumbles, one sack and 111 tackles.
Lee has had several coverage lapses, though, and many scouts question his football instincts.

4.36 40-time
The skinny: Scott ran a blistering 40 at his pro day that will send him up draft boards. After spending six years in college, though — two at a JUCO, three at Auburn and the 2025 campaign at Miami — Scott will turn 25 before the season begins.

“I was a very underrecruited guy,” Scott said. “I didn’t think I was ever going to be able to go to college. I was just playing football because I loved it. And I felt like that caused me to slip in the classroom.”
Most scouts view Scott as a slot corner, who’s quick and feisty, but too small to play outside. During Scott’s four years of Division 1 football, he had 128 tackles, two interceptions, 13 passes defensed, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.
Scott also led the SEC in punt return average in 2023 at 14.8 and finished his career with an average of 10.3 yards on 43 returns.
