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.
“I gave him a late second round grade.”

Malik Muhammad to be picked “late second round grade” (picks 33–64)
“I gave him a late second round grade. Late second round, fifty two isn't super late in the second round. I I don't think it would be crazy at 52 if he's dense enough for the Packers”
