The good news, Gute has filled all the starting positions with Vets.  So now he has to find rookies with a lot of future potential and can play that depth piece.  DL, EDGE and CB are the thinnest of the Packers depth.  One might throw in OL too, but I think Gute is going to be throwing a lot of draft resources, once again, at the defense.</blockquote>
