Green Bay Packers draft news today, February 17, 2026: NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah breaks down a loaded 2026 cornerback class, scouting reports on Chris Johnson and Colton Hood, and latest Packers news today. Packer Nation, the draft experts have spoken, and the news is music to Brian Gutekunst's ears! As of Tuesday, February 17, 2026, Daniel Jeremiah has officially labeled the 2026 cornerback class as one of the deepest in recent memory. For a Green Bay team looking to bolster its secondary under new DC Jonathan Gannon, this is the perfect year to be hunting for a "Boundary Eraser." With Jordan Love officially 100% healthy and Micah Parsons crushing his rehab, adding a lockdown rookie corner could be the final piece of the championship puzzle. We dive into DJ's latest rankings and identify which prospects have the "dog mentality" and length to thrive in the NFC North. In this breakdown, we analyze the specific cornerbacks Daniel Jeremiah is high on for the Packers' draft range. We look at Chris Johnson's exceptional ball skills—the San Diego State standout has officially declared and is a favorite for teams seeking a high-IQ playmaker. We also explore Colton Hood and how his elite mirroring skills from his time at Tennessee have him skyrocketing up boards after a dominant Senior Bowl. Plus, we discuss the strategy: with such a loaded class, should Gutey wait until Round 3 to find a gem, or is this the year to trade up and secure a true shutdown star like Mansoor Delane? We look at the film, the combine buzz, and the best fits for the Green and Gold. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
