If Quay had been drafted in the third round, nobody would expect him to be anything more than what he's shown during his entire career: a bad starting linebacker.I think the Packers come in second in the North but I don't think they have the elite players to pass the Lions, yet. I mean, look at the personnel on the team and tell me which players you think the other team alters their offense/defense schemes to account for. On defense, I think Xavier McKinney and Edgerinn Cooper are the only guys on defense that other offenses need to account for actively. The Packers offense is full of good players but I don't think there's anyone that defensive coordinators have to alter defensive schemes to account for. Until Gute can actually draft some truly elite players I just don't think the team has the players to overcome the best teams in the league. Hopefully this changes with Golden breaking out like Jefferson did or Kraft earning more targets and showing the league that he's the new Kittle but as of now I think the Packers offense has one of the best 5-7 play callers in the league and numerous good players; which makes for an elite offense that doesn't have anyone to force elite defenses to adjust.</blockquote>
