Wilde: Packers Have a Cornerback Problem

Jason Wilde joins Homer to talk through Keyshawn Nixon’s role as the Packers’ number one cornerback and why criticism of Nixon misses the bigger issue. Wilde explains that Nixon has outperformed expectations, but Green Bay’s lack of a true top corner reflects years of missed draft picks, free-agent swings and limited investment at the position. He walks through the Packers’ cornerback history under Brian Gutekunst, including Eric Stokes, Josh Jackson, Nate Hobbs, Carrington Valentine and several late-round misses. Wilde also compares cornerback to the offensive line as one of Green Bay’s biggest question marks and says the Packers look more like a good-to-very-good team than a true Super Bowl team right now.
