The sudden exodus at cornerback is giving 2014 sixth-round pick Demetri Goodson a shot at a starting role for the Green Bay Packers.

Goodson needs to show he can make the team based on something other than the draft pick that was invested in him. Then he can worry about being the starter.

There should be no surprise that he wants a starting job - what NFL player doesn't?

I don't think he is ready to fill those shoes - he looked really raw last year in preseason, but didn't strike me as a scrub by any means either. We shall see what he has to offer in a few months.

I wouldn't doubt that this kid can make the team.
Whether or not he can start remains to be seen.
I hope he does well, proving he was a worthy pick.

Demetri Goodson as a starter on one of the most important positions on our D? That's laughable. EVERYONE who follows this team closely knows he didn't deserve his spot over Jumal Rolle and was only retained due to draft status.

This strikes more fear in me than the talk a few years back that Jarrett Bush was "earning" the starting job due to his senior experience. What a freaking disaster that was.

If Demetri Goodson is the starter, I'll bet that experiment lasts less than 2 games unless we face two terrible passing attacks out of the gate.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

That doesn't mean I won't give my thoughts once that thought has been entertained.

When a player is drafted, I hope he comes in with Goodsons attitude.

There was a very small chance he we a going to see the field last year, with the players in fro t of him.

Now with all the departures, he sees his opportunity and wants to take advantage.

No guarantee he will, but there is NO guarantee any draft pick is going to succeed.
