[QUOTE="Spanky, post: 999244, member: 12367"] I was listening to The Athletic's NFL Podcast tonight while walking the dog. They noted the 2023 Packers will have eight 1st round picks on defense. Which is a lot. Kenny Clark, Jaire Alexander, Rashan Gary, Darnell Savage, Eric Stokes, Quay Walker, Devonte Wyatt, and Lukas Van Ness. Let's compare to how many 1st round picks started for some of the best/most famous defenses in history: 1962 Packers - 1 1972 Dolphins No Name Defense - 1 1976 Steelers Steel Curtain - 2 1977 Cowboys Doomsday Defense - 4 1985 Bears Monsters of the Midway - 4 1986 Giants - 3 2000 Ravens - 5 Let's hope the 2023 Packers defense can live up to their draft status. If they don't, do you blame the front office or the coaching staff? It should be interesting. Edit - And I will note these are all relatively recent picks. None are retreads from 10+ years ago who are on their last legs. This is a ton of high level draft capital invested in a defense. [/QUOTE]
