Getting Ready For The Packer 2016 Draft

April 28, 29, & 30 - the NFL Draft!  The Packers are at #27.  What do the do?

First, what are the needs? Here are my top 5 needs!

1 - A pass rush.  This could be a young Clay Matthews or a Defensive Linemen?  The Packer defense is close, and a impact player, putting heat on the opposing QB would help!!!

2 - An inside linebacker.  Matthews needs move back outside, although I do like moving him around to make the opposing team nervous!  Barrington should come back from a lost season.  But, is Jake Ryan & the other linebackers good enough?

3 - Another weapon for Aaron!  This year proved that!!  There are many ways to go!  A tight end with a little for athletic ability than Richard Rodgers, or a receiver to stretch the field like the Steelers have!  Or a quick, pass catching running back like Darren Sproles!  Does not need to be big, BUT quick!!

4 - A young left tackle.  You saw what happened when David Bakhtiari was out - Aaron was killed!  It is Bakhtiari's 4th year coming up, would be nice to have a plan & backup!

5 - Athletes - any position that adds quality depth, helps special teams, and provides a spark!

So, the search begins & the next couple months we will hear a lot of talking heads discussing the college players and Mock Drafts!  The NFL.com draft order & needs article(click here)  Here are my first 5 players to research!
