Who do you want the Pack to go after?

 

Personally Id love to see them to get some help on the D-Line, DTackle in particular.

 

Hopefully they can re-sign Blake Martinez. He's a tackling machine. We've got pass rushers and they've used draft picks the last couple of seasons to shore up the secondary. On defense I'd like to see our D-Line improve and help stop the run which in turn will help the defense in other ways. It'd be nice to have a punishing style of player who wants to dish out tackles of pain to opposing runners. He can be our "Punisher!"

On offense, we might need a RT if they are unable to re-sign Bulaga. I think having a good, strong offensively line should be a priority as well. We also need playmakers, but it won't make much difference if defenders get to Rodgers and our running backs before they have a chance to make something happen.

I remember John Madden once mentioned, "the game is won or lost in the trenches." I believe in that philosophy. I think a great team is one with great linemen on both sides of the ball.

As far as particular players go, I don't know as of yet. But I will be watching and listening to a lot of mock draft news.

 

Daniel Jeremiah's Top 50: 2020 NFL Draft prospect rankings 1.0

I can see our Packers selecting DT and WR with their two first picks in the draft (without trades).

However, I think it will depend on their free agency plans with: ILB Blake Martinez and RT Bryan Bulaga. Roster cuts with other teams will also determine the eligible talent pool in FA.

If Blake doesn't re-sign with our team, then we might see our Packers select Kenneth Murray if he falls that far or they trade up.

 

If Herbert dropped that far would you be interested in taking him to see if he can take over for Rodgers in a few years if / when he retires?

 

What's wrong with him if he drops that far? Haha.

Most analysts have him going in the top 10 and a few in the top 15.

We will need a QB understudy sooner than later as Rodgers won't last forever. If Herbert is a good fit for LaFleur's system then I am all for it.

Bucky Brooks' top 5 2020 NFL Draft prospects by position 1.0

 

Is Bucky a Bama alum how is Tua over Burrow?

 

Tua also has a bad hip and every medical expert I've ever heard talk about it has said it will eventually give him arthritis in that hip. Also he's a lefty which brings about some other challenges.

 

Potential AFC & NFC roster cuts

 

If Everson Griffen is cut, Seattle better move hell and earth to get him.

 

@TorturedBlazerFan , Packers will probably cut Jimmy Graham. I hope they'll sign TE Hunter Henry as his replacement and re-sign Marcedes Lewis to another short-term deal. These moves will help our rushing attack next season.
