[QUOTE="CaliforniaCheez, post: 150399, member: 167"] I disagree with the assessment of the Packers. It sounds like some sportswriter complaining he has nothing to write about. There was only one free agent I thought they Packers should have offered a contract. Sometimes the best action is no action and there were no big contract free agents that will hurt the team in the future. The draft is not free agency and should not be for immediate needs. However the level of talent in the first and second rounds permits it there. Last year the drafting of 2 tackles addressed long term need. Long term the Packers need CB's as Woodson and Harris are aging. This was not a good draft class for CB's. When you build through the draft you can wait a year or 2 for the right guy. Barbre hopefully addresses long term need on left side of line when Clifton is replaced by Colledge. Barbre's speed may make him an excellent pulling guard. The Packers addressed TE with a guy who scored 40 on the Wondelic and can long snap. Rob Davis is no spring chicken. FB was addressed while RB was partially. I'm fairly satisfied with this draft. You don't always draft starters. A team can fill the roster with better quality depth that may become starters. 5th and 7th rounders do become Pro Bowl players in time. For example, while the Packers may be happy with the starters at DE there is a need for depth that is progressing toward starting. As we look into the future, we can see CB, DE, RB, C, and QB needs being the likely part of next year's draft. [/QUOTE]
