Round 6, Pick 185: Ka’dar Hollman, CB, Toledo

Grade: C

Ka’dar Hollman adds depth to an already-young cornerback room. You can’t hate this pick, simply because at this point in the draft nearly every prospect is a dart throw. But at the same time, it seems like a reach. The Packers had a pre-draft visit with Hollman, so it makes sense they’d select him. Green Bay is well-known for drafting players late who they had previous contact with.

Hollman is an athletic cover corner who started 35 games over the last three years, tallying 29 pass breakups (13 in 2018) and two interceptions in that time frame. He shot up draft boards after his impressive pro day performance, where he ran a 4.36-second 40-yard dash, jumped 39.5 inches in the vertical leap and finished the 3-cone drill in 6.81 seconds.

The Packers depth chart at cornerback currently includes Jaire Alexander, Kevin King, Tramon Williams, Josh Jackson and Tony Brown. Hollman will need to battle with Brown, Natrell Jamerson and Will Redmond for the fifth and sixth cornerback spots. Expect the Packers to roster Hollman simply because of his athleticism and upside as aspecial teams ace.

Considering the players still on the board at the time Hollman was selected — namely receiver Kelvin Harmon — it just seems the Packers could’ve done better here.
