Peter Bukowski · Apr 6, 2026
Bukowski gives Texas cornerback Malik Muhammad a late second-round grade, saying he wouldn't consider it crazy for the Packers to take him at No. 52, and projects him as a CB2/CB3-caliber quality starter in zone schemes. He also argues Julian Neal is a better player and floats Prysock/Neal as round-four Packers targets.
