Last Line of Defense - Packer Defensive Backs

It is time to talk about the defensive backs!  Here are the players on the roster as of today:

Safeties                 Years
Morgan Burnett        3
MD Jennings            2
Jerron McMillan       R
Sean Richardson      R
Chaz Powell             R

Cornerbacks          Years
Jarret Bush               7
Casey Hayward       R
Devon House          2
Sam Shields             3
Tramon Williams     6
James Nixon            R

First look - VERY YOUNG!!  Maybe too young with the loss of Woodson to retirement?  The recent article about Tramon Williams injury was revealing.  Hope he is fully recovered next year.  I think he is the closest thing we have to a shut down corner. Love Hayward, he is a ball hawk and seems to make plays.  Worried about safety.  We seem to give up too many big plays - pass and run!  Woodson was also a all over the field kind of guy - rush the passer on the blitz, cover a good receiver, and a hitter!  We don't have that on this team!

Let's look at free agents:

Cornerbacks
Charles Woodson - Packers
Brent Grimes - Falcons
Aqib Talib - Patriots
Sean Smith - Dolphins
Derek Cox - Jaguars
Cary Williams - Ravens
Dominique Rogers-Cromartie - Eagles

Safeties
Ed Reed - Ravens
Dashon Goldson - 49er's
William Moore - Falcons
Jarius Byrd - Bills
Louis Delmas - Lions

Again as all free agents, these players have a little mileage on their odometers!  Also, a few have injury concerns, Packers do not need that! I think someone is needed to provide leadership and aggressiveness! I would seriously look at safeties - Ed Reed & Dashon Golson!

How about 2013 draft choices?

Cornerbacks
Dee Milliner - Alabama
Jonathan Banks - Miss. St.
David Amerson - N. Carolina
Xavier Rhodes - Florida St.
Desmond Trufant - Washington

Safeties
Eric Reid - LSU
Kenny Vaccaro - Texas
Mat Elam - Florida
TJ McDonald - USC
Tony Jefferson - Oklahoma

Some good athletes here!  If they are available I would go for Corners Milliner of Alabama & Banks of Mississippi State!  They are both big (6'1 & 6'2) and good athletes!  At safety like Texas' Vaccaro & USC's McDonald.  Looking for a hitter & a guy that tackles!!!!

Overall, the Packer roster is young and deep, but lacking a leader & a hitter!  We need that!!!!
