[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 761453, member: 7261"] While every team hopes to find "difference makers" in each draft, the Packers have been somewhat snake bit at finding those in the last several drafts. For this reason and just the whole notion of relying too much on rookies, if the Packers hope to have success in 2018, I think those difference makers will need to be found in Free Agency and the guys they find in the draft should be viewed as 2-4 year investments in what this team needs to be successful beyond this coming year. For instance, at TE, sign one of the top 5 FA TE's, but use a 3rd rounder on a solid rookie. Bring the rookie along, but let the Vet carry the load for the next year or two. I think having a new DC as well as Philbin coming back on offense will give the Packers a whole new fresh outlook on what this team "needs" to be successful on defense and offense for that matter. Seems like with Capers, it was a case of trying to plug a big hole (CB, DL, ILB) with rookies that may just not have been a good fit or too green, to really help the Packers immediately. [/QUOTE]
