Ranking Chicago Bears in NFC North Cornerback Rooms

1. Green Bay Packers: Jaire Alexander, Eric Stokes, Rasul Douglas, Keishon Nixon, Shermar Jean-Charles

The Chicago Bears are close to the Packers, and they could be on a similar field, but the Packers have more in the tank right now when it comes to firepower.

Jaire Alexander is the best cornerback in the division and one of the better corners in the NFL. Not many will argue and what makes him special is that he will go into the slot full-time if needed. Depending on the matchup the Packers can play things a lot of different ways, adding to the value of Alexander.

Rasul Douglas can play in the slot against the bigger and slower slots while Alexander handles the shorter, shifter players. Douglas also has more experience outside. He has bounced around but has always had starter upside, and last season may have finally found the right home. He took off last year for the best year of his career.

Beyond that is Eric Stokes, a first-round pick entering year two. He is more experienced with a bit more pedigree than Kyler Gordon so when you put Alexander over Johnson and Stokes over Gordon it is hard not to give the edge to Green Bay.

Thomas Graham and Kindle Vildor actually are better options than the four and five in Green Bay. Still, Stokes was excellent as a rookie, and even if he plateaued as Jaylon Johnson did in year two, the difference between Stokes and Alexander and Johnson and Gordon would be too much. The Bears have plenty of talent but are not quite as proven as Green Bay.
