Now, nobody knew Josh Jackson would still be around in the second round but I can't help but look at the first two days and imagine how nice it would have been to get Derwin James/Tremaine Edwards in round one and then Josh Jackson in round 2.  Now, getting two potentially great corners is nothing to sneeze at but Green Bay is a unique situation due to bad prior drafts that has made this many corners a serious need; most other teams drafting two corners in rounds 1 and 2 (after spending their first rounder last year on a corner) would deserve below a B but Green Bay really needed those guys. Burks seems like a guy that might develop into the coverage linebacker the Packers have been looking for. The three wide receivers all have potential to be good, though it'll take some time for that to show up and . Madison might help at right guard in the future.With the serious needs that Green Bay had at corner, taking ANOTHER two corners first in the draft doesn't hurt as much as it would most teams. The Packers ignored edge rushers, so either they think Matthews will be rejuvenated and Perry will stay healthy or they're putting the burden on Pettine to manufacture a pass rush. Either way, not getting a young edge rusher is a hole in this draft.</blockquote>
