7 years agoIan Rapoport has reported that the Green Bay Packers have traded cornerback Damarious Randall for Cleveland Browns quarterback DeShone Kizer. Kizer was a second-round draft pick of the Browns in 2017 who started 15 games last year. His play was very disappointing, throwing 22 interceptions with only 11 touchdowns. An athletic, physical and competitive player, Randall was arguably Green Bay’s best cornerback last year. However, he was very inconsistent and there was evidence that he clashed with the coaching staff. The trade comes after disappointing play from Green Bay quarterback Brett Hundley, who started in the absence of injured quarterback Aaron Rodgers last year. Green Bay will treat the 22-year-old Kizer as a backup in the short term, but may view him as an eventual successor to Rodgers. Kizer is as physically gifted as any quarterback in the NFL, but he left college too early and remains incredibly raw. While he is fast and agile, he is very inaccurate when throwing on the run. A lot of pressure is being put on the recently maligned McCarthy quarterback school to develop Kizer. Furthermore, this is a sign that Green Bay has likely given up on Hundley and will look to trade him soon. It is also a sign that Green Bay is looking to sign a big-name free-agent cornerback. Kizer should not be owned, even in dynasty formats, and there is no reason to consider Hundley in any fantasy scenario.--Tyger McGuiggan
