So back to the draft they go to find themselves a CB that can actually stay with a WR. Cordrea Tankersley is definitely a guy worth considering as he as a solid CB that fits the Packers’ system. They love to bump and run over there and that’s what Tankersley does best.

At 6’1″, 200 pounds, he uses his length to get physical at the line of scrimmage and he has great movement skills. According to Pro Football Focus, in two-plus years, he’s allowed an NFL passer rating of 40 into his coverage. He could very well be the Packers’ shutdown CB immediately.
