The Green Bay Packers may have it figured out on offense. A few tweaks here and there may be necessary, but the pieces are in place for the offense to put up points against any defense in the NFL. The defense, however, is likely going to see numerous changes.
The overhauled defensive coaching staff will be sure to add pieces that will fit the new scheme. New defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley made a great first impression during his introductory press conference. While there is a long way to go between a press conference and on-field production, Packers fans are excited for a fresh start.
That fresh start could include a blazing fast defender for the 2024 season.
The Green Bay Packers Have Ties To One Prospect That No One Else In The League Has
Freddie Boston of FanSided highlighted how CB Max Melton could land in Green Bay:
Bo Melton was one of the Green Bay Packers’ standout performers late in the season. He could be joined in Green Bay by his brother, Max, in the 2024 NFL Draft.
According to Sports Illustrated’s Bill Huber, Max spent New Year’s Eve celebrating a Packers victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Bo Melton had just scored his first NFL touchdown in the Week 17 win at Minnesota. Fast forward nine months, and they could be wearing green and gold together.
Green Bay needs to upgrade the cornerback room this offseason, and it’s a position GM Brian Gutekunst could focus on in the early rounds. The Packers must strengthen its depth on the outside and find a new starter in the slot.
Starting slot corner Keisean Nixon is a free agent, and he struggled for consistency in the middle of the defense.
On the outside, Jaire Alexander is an All-Pro but missed time with back and shoulder injuries this year. Former first-round pick Eric Stokes has barely played since suffering a significant injury midway through the 2022 season.
How The Packers Could Land Bo Melton’s Brother, Max Melton
Bleacher Report annotated Max Melton’s draft projection:
- GRADE: 6.7 (Potential Role Player/ Contributor — 4th Round)
OVERALL RANK: 109
- POSITION RANK: CB16
PRO COMPARISON: Troy Pride Jr.
While his draft stock has skyrocketed during the NFL combine, it is likely he won’t be selected prior to the third round. The Packers have five draft picks in the first three rounds, if they are intrigued by what Melton has to offer, they have plenty of firepower to go get him.
Playing with his brother in the NFL would be a dream come true, and it just so happens he plays a position that Green Bay is in need of this off-season.
