[QUOTE="morango, post: 866848, member: 12939"] Relevant questions for those of you who watch more tape and understand things better: 1) Is part of the packers problem in run defense because the Smith Bros are not great run defenders, not good at setting the edge? (as I understand it, when the two OLBs are functioning as DEs alongside 2 down lineman, they need to be run defenders as well as pass rushers - tough job). 2) Is the main problem on the DL really just a lack of quality talent other than Kenny Clark? Lowry, Lancaster, Adams, Keke... some okay rotational depth, but no one even close to dominant, and no one good enough to spell Clark when needed. 3) Scheme? Is part of this on Pettine? IMO this need on DL is nearly as important as ILB. I like Dantes idea with A-Shawn Robinson - he hadnt been on the FA radar for me. In the draft, I like the possible mid-round value picks of Davon Hamilton (OSU), Jordan Elliot (Missouri), and Leki Fotu (Utah). The first two are more of 3-techs and Fotu is strictly a nose tackle.
