A Look At The Packers on March 21st?

So, after two weeks of free agency the Packers have signed key players from their offense, lost key players on the defense, and signed a few special teams players of their own.  Overall, that means that they are a little weaker at this point.  If, nothing changes, where does that leave us before the draft?

Offense - the offense is healthy & the same personnel as last year.  That should be a good thing!  The offensive line should be one of the best going into 2015.  LT - Bakhtiari. LG - Sitton, C- Linsley, RG - Lang, & RT - Bulaga.  Good for the Pack!  Running Back - Lacy & Starks, a great 1-2 punch!  Lost Harris, but he never played last year!  At tight end, Quarless & Rogers.  They did an adequate job & Rogers should be even better, just need better blocking out of him!  Wide receivers, Nelson, Cobb & Adams are intact!  That means more great plays & more Packer records (WE HOPE).  The backups are young and exciting - Abbrederis,  Janis & White.  And of course, the BEST QB in the NFL - Aaron Rogers!

Defense - Take away you starting cornerback Williams & our top replacement House.  AJ Hawl leadership gone at inside linebacker.  And Guion & Raji still up in the air!  So, NOT GOOD!  The good news?  Our safety play may start to be one of the best in the NFL - Burnett & Clintin-Dix have another year together.  Peppers & Matthews have another year together at outside linebacker.  The D-line, except for Nose Tackle.  So, in my humble opinion, just like recent years, the defense has some holes!

Special Teams - an above average kicker & below average punter.  And the players will all be different that run on the special teams.  A new special teams coach.  So, unless changes are made(BYE BYE BOSTICK & BRAD JONES) the special teams will be very unpredictable!

Good News?  McCarthy is watching over all teams - offense, defense, & special teams.  Bad News - we do not know if this is good or bad news?

The draft will be again key!  Last year - Adams, Linsley, Clinton-Dix, & Richard Rogers made HUGE contributions!  We need more of the same this year!
