The first part of our look at the defensive battles – part three of our series in all, if you’re keeping score – focused solely on the secondary. Makes sense as it’s the one glaring area of concern on this team as it prepares to begin camp in just one day – holy @$*#! Truth be [...] Most Green Bay Packers fans are extremely high on the 2010 squad. You can include me in that group. Still, they are not a team without flaws – no team is in the salary cap era. Much has been written about the Pack’s seemingly biggest flaw – the pass defense – this offseason. But what are some [...] The Green Bay Packers put a significant emphasis on the defensive line in this year’s draft. By selecting Mike Neal (Purdue, second round) and C.J. Wilson (East Carolina, seventh round), the team made it clear it felt more size and depth needed to be added up front. And by officially moving B.J.

Second straight year Thompson made a significant trade up in the top three rounds and you can’t blame him here, Burnett can ball. [...] As I write this, we sit on the eve of the 2010 NFL Draft. Holy crap. That being the case, it’s time for me to put on my Ted Thompson cap and pretend I’m running the draft room in Green Bay. Yeah, this should be fun. Before we tee this thing off, a few ground rules: I am not going to [...] When you look at the Green Bay Packers’ needs heading into the draft, defensive line isn’t near the top of the list. That doesn’t mean it should be near the bottom, either, though. Sure, the Packers look to have a very good four-man rotation (baseball reference, sorry, it’s that time of year) in Cullen Jenkins, Ryan Pickett, Johnny Jolly and [...] (Before we begin: Just to reiterate, if you’re worried this is it for OBOD’s offseason coverage, don’t be. We’ll be all over free agency when it starts and we’re already busy researching for the draft and we’ll be beginning our coverage of that soon enough. Three words: Mock drafts, baby!) Let’s cut to the chase. Here [...] |
