Adoree' Jackson

CB, USC

The Green Bay Packers made a historic finish to the 2016 regular season, winning their final six games after starting the season out at 4-6. The final win of the six-game streak was the most important, as they defeated the Detroit Lions in Week 17 to win the NFC North title. The Packers then went on to win two games in the playoffs, including an incredible road victory over No. 1 seed Dallas in the Divisional Round.

In the NFC Championship Game, the Packers biggest weakness came to light, and that is the area they need to draft in April. The Packers were burnt on what seemed to be every play by Matt Ryan of the Atlanta Falcons, blowing a chance to make it to Super Bowl LI. The Packers have a ton of talent on both sides of the ball, but bringing in cornerback help has to be a priority heading into next season.

Adoree’ Jackson of USC is one of the more electric players in this draft, and he is going to be a fun player to watch on Sunday. Not only can he shut down one side of the field, but he has the athletic ability to catch back up the ball if he makes a mistake. Jackson also is the all-time leading return man in USC history, so the Packers will be getting quite a versatile player if they decide to take him with pick No. 29 this April.
