Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 770529">So it would seem, being second only to Fackrell in special teams snaps.  However, he did manage a 14% defensive snap count last season with C-D playing all 16 games.  Right now he is the backup FS.Now, if the Packers do not envision being the highest bidder for C-D at the conclusion of the season, it would make sense to draft a FS who shows enough scheme flexibility to play slot corner and back up at FS/SS for a year.  A Hyde role with a guy who'd do better than Hyde in man slot coverage.A cursory review of the prospects suggests Fitzpatrick or some lesser light with similar characteristics further down the board.Nickel corner tends get short shrift even though it's a "starting position" getting 80% snaps while also being an acute need in this defense.  It doesn't do much good to spend picks or cap on the front 6 - 7 if a guy like Kizer on a team like Cleveland can nearly beat you throwing short timing passes out of the pistol all day or watching guys like Senu own you out of the slot.</blockquote>
