49. . Cornerback. Ohio State. Denzel Ward. 14. player

The Green Bay Packers have invested heavily in their secondary in recent NFL Drafts, but this is a position that could still use a lot of help.

Last year’s selection, cornerback Kevin King, isn’t quite where he needs to be. And there aren’t exactly a lot of likable options outside of King either.

The Packers hope for the next coming of current New Orleans Saints corner Marshon Lattimore, who broke out his rookie season after his collegiate efforts at Ohio State. This led to the emergence of fellow Buckeye, Denzel Ward, in 2017. He has the skill set to follow a similar trajectory as Lattimore this year.
