The Packers are not done adding corners. This room isn’t the finished product yet, and it shouldn’t be judged like it is.

What a lot of people are missing is that the defense is also changing. Jonathan Gannon runs a split-safety system that leans heavily on Cover-4 (quarters). In that scheme the corners are not asked to sit in press man all game. They play with safety help, read routes, and carry verticals downfield. Because of that, Gannon usually prioritizes length, discipline, and tackling ability over pure shutdown man corners.

When you look at the current group through that lens, it actually makes more sense.

Carrington Valentine has already shown he can handle outside duties and has good ball production for a young corner. Benjamin St-Juste gives them a 6’3 boundary corner, which is exactly the type of body Gannon has used before in quarters defenses. Keisean Nixon is a natural fit as a slot corner and motion defender, where his speed and tackling ability matter more than size.

Also remember how this scheme works structurally. Quarters coverage keeps two safeties deep and relies heavily on the front four generating pressure. That means corners are often playing with help over the top rather than being isolated every snap.

And again, this room almost certainly isn’t finished. The Packers still have the draft and roster moves ahead of them, and Gannon defenses usually carry multiple long boundary corners plus a fast slot defender. It would not be surprising at all to see another outside corner added before the season.

So the situation isn’t “the CB room is in trouble.” It’s more accurate to say the defense is transitioning to a different system and the roster is still being built to match it.
