The Green Bay Packers might be looking elsewhere for their draft picks, as Tyler Nubin from Minnesota and Kamren Kinchens from Miami might not be in the running after the pre-draft workouts.
Although the Packers recently signed Xavier McKinney, they still need to add more depth at safety. Nubin ranks as the No. 1 safety and No. 25 prospect overall, with Kinchens following as the No. 4 safety and No. 88 prospect overall. However, despite their high rankings, they might not be the right fit for the Packers.
Both players are potential top-50 picks, but the Packers might pass on them due to their lack of athleticism. Nubin's recent pro day performance resulted in a low Relative Athletic Score (RAS) of 2.91 out of 10. Kinchens also had a poor showing, with a RAS of 1.83 out of 10.
While athleticism is just one factor in the draft, the Packers prioritize it, especially for top prospects. The team has five top 100 picks, and while General Manager Brian Gutekunst might consider Nubin or Kinchens if they offer great value, their athletic performances might make them less likely choices.
In conclusion, Nubin and Kinchens, while talented, might not fit the Packers' draft criteria due to their athletic limitations.
