The Unpacking Future Packers Countdown is a countdown of 100 prospects who the Green Bay Packers could select in the 2026 NFL draft.

The Green Bay Packers need an infusion of talent at cornerback. Brian Gutekunst hasn’t used a Top 100 pick on the position since he drafted Eric Stokes with the 29th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. Since the Stoke selection, Green Bay’s general manager has only used three picks on the position, with all three of those selections coming in the seventh round.

Given the state of Green Bay’s cornerback room, it would be shocking if Gutekunst doesn’t address the position in the upcoming draft. 

A potential target in the third or fourth round is Devin Moore. The Florida cornerback checks in at No. 45 in the Unpacking Future Packers Countdown.

A four-star recruit from Florida, Moore played in five games during his first season on campus before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury. In 2023, Moore played in seven games and recorded one interception and three pass deflections. That season he missed five games as he dealt with back issues and a concussion.

In 2024, Moore recorded two interceptions and two pass deflections before he suffered a season-ending shoulder injury. 

This past season, Moore stayed clear of the injury bug and responded with two tackles for loss, one sack, two interceptions and four pass deflections. 

At 6-3 with nearly 32-inch arms, Moore is well put together and uses every inch of that impressive frame to tighten passing windows. He uses his reach to challenge wide receivers at the line of scrimmage and reroute them. The Florida cornerback has the vertical speed to stay attached on a vertical plane, with the recovery speed to make up for any missteps. The former four-star recruit is smooth in his pedal and has impressive change-of-direction skills for a taller cornerback. He does a good job of tracking the ball and attacking it in the air.

“Moore’s greatest strengths are his size, length, and speed,” Nick Marcinko, a reporter for Gator Country, said. “He can physically press receivers at the line of scrimmage while also having the speed to cover ground in the secondary. Moore excels in coverage, using his awareness and ball skills to create big plays.”

Moore won’t back down against the run and uses his length to work off blocks. This past season he recorded 13 run stops and was tagged with just four missed tackles. He consistently gets his man to the ground to limit YAC. 

“Moore is an aggressive defender,” Marcinko said. “He has posted strong tackling numbers throughout his career, including a 10.0% missed tackle rate his senior year.”

Fit with the Packers

Green Bay’s ‘remodel’ of the cornerback room started in free agency with the addition of Benjamin St. Juste. The tall and lanky cornerback gives the Packers some much-needed size. 

The former Minnesota Golden Gopher will likely challenge for a starting role and will provide an impact on special teams. 

Even with that addition, the Packers still need plenty of help. Keisean Nixon and Carrington Valentine are both entering contract years. As it stands right now, it doesn’t look good for either one of them getting another contract in Green Bay.

Adding Moore to the mix would give the Packers a long cornerback who could challenge for a starting role as a rookie or he could sit for a year and look to take on a starting role when Nixon and Valentine walk in free agency.

“He would be a steal at any point after the first two rounds,” Marcinko said. “He is faster than his 4.50 40-yard dash suggests. He possesses ideal size for an NFL cornerback, and excels in coverage. Moore has all the traits you look for at the next level. Health is the only question mark.”

Moore may or may not be on Green Bay’s board due to durability concerns. If the Packers feel comfortable with his medicals, he could prove to be a steal in the third round. With his frame and athleticism, he’s worth the gamble
