It's that time of the year again where mock drafts are everywhere. That includes CBS Sports and Josh Edwards. In a mock of the 2019 NFL draft, he has the Green Bay Packers selecting cornerback CJ Henderson out of Florida.
Henderson has seen his stock rise significantly as the college football season went on. So much so, in fact, that the biggest worry for the Packers should be their draft position.
In that mock draft, the Packers have the 30th overall pick (no trades or anything). If they truly pick from number 30, there's a very strong chance that another team has already selected Henderson.
That being said, if Green Bay does indeed get Henderson, that could be a fun group.
Jaire Alexander spent 2019 proving to the world that he is an elite talent at cornerback. He's also only 22.
Kevin King had a strong year as well and is only 24. Having those two continue to grow on the roster means the Packers are in good shape at cornerback.
Now imagine adding Henderson into the mix. Suddenly they have three young cornerbacks with elite potential. And two that already have enough experience under their belts that you can count on them for the tough assignments.
The Packers would also be able to help Henderson transition into the NFL. Making life easier for him and helping mold the young cornerback.
The Packers are still in the postseason, so they have much bigger things to worry about than who they will be drafting this year.
That being said, it's easy to get excited about Henderson joining the already young and promising Green Bay secondary in a few months.
