There's no way Wilkerson would be productive rushing from the edge consistently.The Packers can afford to extend Rodgers' contract without having to release their best edge rusher.Martinez and Ryan both are decent defending the run but the Packers need an upgrade at coverage linebacker. Hence Gutekunst traded up to select Burks.Teams definitely don't plan on defensive backs being their primary tacklers.I'm not sure I understand that correctly but if Pettine replaces Matthews and Perry with defensive backs in nickel and dime formations while Martinez stays on the field the unit will struggle to create any pass rush.The Packers would struggle with 1) creating pressure from the edge from at least one side and 2) holding contain on that side of the ball on running plays or QB scrambles.</blockquote>
