The Packers are suffering at the CB position as they gave up big bombs left and right last year. Sam Shields, the Packers best CB, is no longer with the team after he had concussion issues last year. So the Packers do something about the CB position, picking Cordrea Tankersley.

Tankersley is a physical, bump-and-run CB, just like they love them up there in Green Bay. He’s a potential shutdown guy that takes away the opposing team’s best WR, following him around the field. Tankersley would make a big difference on that Packers defense immediately.
