[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 650141, member: 9033"] I keep hearing the calls for a high round ILB but people need to look around the league. There are, what, maybe 3-4 difference making ILBs in the NFL? I can only name 2 (Kuechly and Burfict). Why would the Packers spend a high round pick on a position that just doesn't make much of a difference in the NFL? I get that the Packers have been really weak there but ILB is not a first (or even really a second round) round value position. In the first round you can get difference makers at dline (WAAYYYY more important than ILB). Not sure if anyone has seen anything from Pennel that would make them confident in his ability to be a good/great NT. Yes, there's "hope" that he'll grow into one but considering how important the NT position is in a 3-4 (something that many Packers fans have forgotten since this defense has gotten by without one for 5 years), I would think trying to find a dominant guy would be important.
