[QUOTE="CaliforniaCheez, post: 40568, member: 167"] Low turnovers forced via fumbles and interceptions put it in the bottom 25% Lack of sacks and QB pressures by the D-line a big factor. The D needs help. The D-line is where the previous GM failed with Jamal Reynolds, Joe Johnson, Hunt, Peterson, Washington, Tru-Luck, got Vonnie Holiday mad enough to leave, etc. Will Kampmann sign a TED contract? He signed a Viking one that was matched. DE prospects are a strength of the draft where the Packers 1st pick is located. Grady is too old to be wanted by TED. KGB has proven too small with a tendency to go inside taking himself out of the play or the offense using his speed against him with a screen pass. The D-line must improve. Now the secondary has improved scheme-wise from a dismal 04. Collins will improve and Underwood might as well. I do not believe the Packers will be Super Bowl caliber with Carroll starting. This draft has few good CB's so the Packers are likely to suffer with him another year. The D-line is higher priority. LB's will likely lose Diggs and not have Poppinga for awhile. Barnett looks small and unable to shed OL blockers. LB's are relatively cheap and should be acquired at a reasonable price in free agency. Quite frankly the entire draft could go to defense. Let's look at the draft. DE- Kampmann if signed will lessen the need for more than one but a good #3 DE is needed who will eventually replace KGB. #1 pick?? possible. DT- Grady Jackson's roster spot must be replaced and it won't be bust Washington. #2 pick?? LB- Diggs and his 3+ million contract will be a cap casualty. Poppinga may be on PUP. This appears to be a good deep draft for LB's. Good value will be found in later rounds. Hawk if available will be tempting but look for fourth round(102 pick depending on compensatory pick(s)) Safety- A #4 will be added behind Roman, Collins and Underwood. This could be a free agent such Little or late round pick. CB- With other priorities it may not get addressed properly this year. Possible project like Hawkins drafted but I doubt it. If no trades, I think 1st round DE, 2nd round DT, 3rd round OG, 4th round LB, 5th round LB (maybe RB, OT, WR??), 7th round lucky grab bag pick. It would be nice if Bates and his staff are retained.
