[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 871941"] I'm hedging that bet with one long shot first round player, Queen, in a possible trade up, or even a drop to #30 with a possible chill on this type of player given the White/Bush less than impressive rookie performances. It's a long shot since the Packers have a history of going down board for ILBs and the spend on the Kirksey signing, but the Burks pick to pair with Martinez seemed to indicate a shift in thinking even he though Burks has not been the player they expected. With Kirksey calling the plays, Queen could focus on his game in year 1. You get the coverage ability from the nickle ILB position (or the so-called "dime backer" position) in Queen when paired with Kirksey to take on backs, TEs, slots with matchup flexibility, along with true dime zone drops. You get sideline-to-sideline speed and improving reads between the tackles. You'd have two 3-down players at ILB which opens up disguise possibilities in base and nickel. Absent Queen, we're still looking for a guy or guys. Absent a 3-down guy, a big, strong safety / box safety type with some speed for that role might be in the cards (a popular option of late), at least for the 75% nickel/dime snaps, and a low volume thumper for run down base rotation which increasingly does not include 1st. down with many opponents.
