The Green Bay Packers are considering a significant upgrade to their cornerback roster by potentially using a first-round draft pick to select Shavon Revel Jr. from East Carolina at pick No. 23. This selection comes after the team lost Eric Stokes, Corey Ballentine, and Robert Rochell in free agency, while they are also exploring trade options for Jaire Alexander. Although Nate Hobbs has joined the team, the Packers still need to bolster their defense ahead of the 2025 season.

Revel, who is recovering from an ACL injury, is noted for his impressive size and speed, making him a valuable asset on the field. His standout performance in 2023, where he recorded 12 pass breakups and an interception, solidified his reputation as a player with the potential to make an immediate impact. However, his injury could affect his draft positioning, as some experts have expressed hesitance regarding his first-round viability.
