In an attempt to improve an already strong defensive secondary, the Green Bay Packers went out and used their first-round selection on Georgia cornerback Eric Stokes, with the desired outcome for him to team up alongside Jaire Alexander. But their fifth-round selection, Shemar Jean-Charles, may end up having just as important of an impact on…
The idea that the long-sustained success that the Green Bay Packers have experienced is over with all of the ongoing stressors is a short-sighted outlook that cannot happen from the team’s fan base.

The main issue was the lack of aggressive play-calling from…
Drafting both Eric Stokes and Shemar Jean-Charles was all a part of Green Bay GM Brian Gutekunst’s plan to upgrade their already-strong secondary that is in desperate need of cornerback depth. Needing to find that next solid option alongside Jaire Alexander, both options could easily slide into long-term, high-impact roles very soon. Both Kevin King…
