[QUOTE="adambr2, post: 486035, member: 7277"] I agree with all of this. As long as Bulaga is healthy, you can pencil in Bulaga, Sitton, and Lang at their respective positions. That leaves C and LT. Rodgers himself believes that EDS is the Center of the future. He played well late in the year when he took over for Saturday, particularly in the running game. Now, he's not elite by any means, and it would be fine if they want to draft a center early, but it doesn't mean EDS won't be starting next year anyway. Same goes for Newhouse. Even if we draft a tackle in the first round, you can't assume that they will unseat Newhouse, who has come a long ways since 2011. So far, Sherrod hasn't been able to do it. Going after an expensive FA tackle is not the Packers' way of doing business. It's unlikely, given his improvement, that they are looking to replace him now anyway. I was very pleased with the way he played in San Francisco. There have been times when he has struggled against elite pass rushers, but most tackles are going to struggle against elite pass rushers, they're elite for a reason. That's something he should be able to improve on going forward. By all accounts he has a good work ethic and more improvement should be expected. Even if we make no additions and cut Saturday, I would feel fine going into next season with Newhouse/Lang/EDS/Sitton/Bulaga with Barclay and Sherrod both options off the bench. Datko and Van Roten are both developmental guys with upside that may factor in eventually. I know the sack numbers are frustrating and certainly make it feel like we need improvement, but Rodgers' QB style simply isn't one that's going to allow for very low sack totals every year. It's the price we pay for his very low INT totals, and it's going to be the case no matter who is protecting him. [/QUOTE]
