[QUOTE="all about da packers, post: 27381, member: 227"] Let's face it, Texans are early favourites to get the top pick. However, the Pack should be pretty high up there never the less. Also, don't forget we get compensatory picks from the league for loosing Whale and Rivera. I don't know about you, but I expect them to be pretty high picks. The Pack are about 20 million under the cap next year, so if anything, we should get to see TT employ his plan and actually have a cahnce to not be restrained by the cap, like this year. As too what we need: RB: ****** is too injury prone, Green is old and gets winded quickly (not to mention the whole fumbling thing), and Fisher is 3rd down back for a reason. There are always good RB's in the bottom of the draft, but don't be surprised to see someone like Perry from Bengals being talked about as a guy the Pack go after via trade. WR: we are set, but injuries will be causing players to return. DD is gold, but getting up there in age, Ferrgy is always banged up, Walker is returning from an injury, ditto for Murphy, and Chatman is an excellent 4th WR. Don't be surprised to see a FA pickup this offseason, but that is the extent to which TT should and hopefully will go. TE: Martin and Lee have shown they are reliable. Regardless, Bubba is injured, and we need another blocking TE. Nothing more than a late 2nd day pick should be spent. DE: Pack are in some trouble. KGB and Kampman, at this rate, will be done before the season is up. Playing in above 80% of your teams snaps are inexcusible, regardless of the reason. We need some good DE's who can rush and replace our starters. This is the most glaring position on our whole team, IMO. We should look at FA's who can help us, and also spend early first day pick on DE. DT: Rotation is working, so why fix it if it ain't broke?
