[QUOTE="Deleted member 6794, post: 877677"] The Packers were one win away from making it to the Super Bowl last season. Gutekunst should have used this year's draft to improve their chances of making another step instead of using the team's first four picks on backups. No, the reason why I don't consider Burks good enough is that while he was healthy enough to play the majority of snaps on special teams after returning from injured the coaches trusted him to only play 57 snaps on defense with the Packers in dire need of an upgrade at inside linebacker. While it's true that none of us knows if Summers will have an impact on defense the odds are stacked against a late round pick who wasn't able to receive a single snap on a position in need of improvement during his rookie campaign. I think it's a stupid argument for not selecting a wide receiver. No player available in this year's or any other one for that matter would have elevated the Packers past the Niners in the NFCCG last season. True, but I wasn't talking about Jones in the post you replied to. The Packers won 14 games last season because their defense was improved mostly based on free agent signings. That doesn't change the fact that the offense wasn't any better though. The Packers threw the ball on nearly 60% of the offensive plays last season as well. They only topped that mark four times with McCarthy having Rodgers as his starting quarterback. Elliott received between 83.6% and 89.1% of the snaps over the past three seasons. [/QUOTE]
