Jordan Battle Scouting Report
Per NFL Draft Buzz, Battle has the following strengths and weaknesses:
Strengths
- Physical safety that has the perfect size for the strong size position – brilliant in the box with linebacker like skills
- Smooth hips and fluid in coverage
- Scares the heck out of smaller receivers over the middle – regularly blows them up with big hits
- Does a very good job of reading the eyes of the quarterback and reacting with good field awareness and ball skills
- Savvy using his hands to get to the ball without drawing flags. Willing tackler and high-effort leader
Weaknesses
- Doesn’t always wrap up his tackles and needs to be less sloppy and improve his technique
- Has played with poor timing when timing jumps and can miss interceptions as a result
- More instinctive than explosive

- San Diego Union-Tribune – No. 26 overall: Bengals
- SB Nation – No. 31 overall: Chiefs
Would Jordan Battle Fit on the Packers?
I really like Battle as a fit for the Packers. His tackling ability needs improvement but honestly what Packers player doesn’t need some tackling work this offseason? The fact that he was a four-year player at Alabama tells me he is a solid prospect that can stay on the field against NFL competition.

This would be a great second or third-round pick for GM Brian Gutekunst. I don’t think his talent warrants a first-round selection but Battle has real pro potential. If Gutekunst decides to continue to add talent to the defense, Battle could be a great option.
