29. Green Bay Packers
CB. Ohio State. Gareon Conley . 29. player. 49. The Green Bay Packers know they have a problem. Their secondary was really picked apart during their final two playoff games in Dallas and Atlanta. Particularly against the Falcons the corners were exposed. Receivers were beating them in coverage constantly. It’s been a recurring problem most of the season. A problem covered up by the benefit of having a franchise quarterback like Aaron Rodgers. Truthfully this unit hasn’t been the same since Tramon Williams and Charles Woodson left. <p>Never mind the situation with Sam Shields. This defense badly needs a cover corner who can survive in man coverage. This is vital to the Dom Capers defense. Gareon Conley is familiar with this style of play from his time at Ohio State. He’s a big, tough and athletic defender who plays physical but without drawing too many flags. He understands how to stick with a wide receiver down the field and can make plays on the football when given the chance.</p>
