[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 650267, member: 9033"] There's a massive difference between an "elite" ILB and what the Packers currently have on the roster (which I would term as special teams depth). First round TEs pretty much never do anything in their rookie years. Raji and Guion both had sub-par years so I'm not sure about the rush to depend on them to man a key piece of the defense. Dline should ALWAYS be a high round pick, if only for depth and the importance of that position to a defense. I will never believe that a team has enough elite players on the dline. The Giants won two Super Bowls by having "too many" dlinemen. It's also easy to look at the dline grading as the best but then not look into why...the dline has the best player on the defense on it, who makes up a third of the entire grade. The linebacking group's best player was out of position all year and the secondary was in flux with injuries to Burnett and rookies playing significant snaps. You have to look at that dline grade and take it with a grain of salt. [/QUOTE]
