With Jaire Alexander traded to the Baltimore Ravens, the Green Bay Packers' cornerback situation is undergoing a significant change. General Manager Brian Gutekunst has expressed optimism about the team's new trio of cornerbacks: Keisean Nixon, Carrington Valentine, and Nate Hobbs, citing their experience and versatility. Each player has collectively started over 90 games in the NFL. An evaluation using PFF grades reveals that Nixon, while the lowest-ranked of the three at 64.1, is still above average. Meanwhile, Valentine and Hobbs have shown potential for improvement, with the latter boasting a previous season grade of 80.1. The Packers' strategy appears to center around solid core talent rather than depth, with the team not having a glaring liability in coverage.

Despite losing Alexander, the Packers' overall PFF coverage grade ranked them fourth in the NFL last year, indicating a potentially strong defensive backfield led by a competent coaching staff. Competition for backup roles is heating up with Kalen King, Kamal Hadden, and Micah Robinson vying for snaps, and Gutekunst is keen on fostering a culture of improvement among the cornerbacks. If Hobbs can return to form and Nixon continues to develop, there's reason to believe the Packers' secondary could be better than expected in 2025.
