[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 871771, member: 12283"] Owen Riese picked Grant Delpit for the Packers in a mock draft where various beat/twitter people made picks for their respective teams. His thinking was actually sound-- if the Packers play so much dime because they [I]want [/I]to, then whether we like that approach or not, they had better go get the personnel to do it the right way. I totally get that logic. However, the application of that logic to picking Delpit is terrible. If the Packers are going to play dime, they need defensive backs who can play the run and *tackle*. That is so important. Green Bay's DB's got their collective butts handed to them in the NFCCG, in which the 49ers threw the ball like 8 times. So taking Delpit, one of the worst tacklers I've ever seen, and putting him at safety, and by extension moving Savage, a talented but undersized player, into the slot, would just exacerbate an already significant problem. You would get worse in two spots. The better application of this idea would be to target defensive backs to play the slot and play dime linebacker that can actually get guys on the ground: Jeremy Chinn, Terrell Burgess, Kyle Dugger, K'Von Wallace, Darnay Holmes, Josh Metellus, Antoine Brooks Jr, Daniel Thomas, etc. [/QUOTE]
