And for those rare times the Packers are in zone coverage, Awuzie has the instincts to break on one. The Packers should sprint to the podium to get Chidobe if he’s available at No. 29 overall. The Packers’ secondary got scorched with big plays all year so they need help there.
Aaron Rodgers was amazing last year, turning a non-playoff year into a playoff year with his play. But his lack of help from the defense, particularly the secondary, made it impossible for him to take the Packers further. If they can straighten the secondary up, they can get to the Super Bowl.

Chidobe Awuzie
CB, Colorado
With the No. 29 overall pick in the draft, the Green Bay Packers select former Colorado CB Chidobe Awuzie. Awuzie is well taught as former All-Pro CB Nnamdi Asomugha is a family friend. You can see it as he uses his 6’0″, 202-pound frame to disrupt the timing of opposing WRs.
He’s also fluid and controlled with easy change of direction, allowing him to mirror from press. Awuzie’s feet and hips allow him to shift in all directions and stay with shifty slot receivers. He answered all questions about his makeup speed by running a 4.43 in the 40 as well.
