Round 1, Pick 24 (Projected Trade) Josh Jackson CB Iowa

This could go one of two ways: they use 14 to get a pass rusher and trade back up for a defensive back, or they do it the other way around.

When the Packers made a similar move to get Clay Thompson, they have to give up well above when the traditional trade chart says they should have. But they got a Pro Bowl edge rusher. In this scenario, the Packers deal their second, third, and fourth-round picks to get here. They may have to give up more, but again, they have the picks to make this work.

Getting the top pick in the fourth and fifth round in the Randall-Kizer trade as part of a pick swap could prove eminently valuable in trades.

In this case, the Packers trade back into the first for Josh Jackson, one of the only corners in the top of the draft who fit their athletic profile for cornerbacks.

Signing Tramon Williams and apparent interest in re-signing Davon House would be a short-term boost for the secondary, but Jackson would offer a long-term solution.
