What does the 2017 Packer Team look like in March?

Offense:
Offensive Line - last year we lost Sitton, Lance Taylor came in a played well.  This year
we lost Lang.  My gut says Spriggs or Murphy we be just fine!  And Bahktiari & Bulaga
can now take over the leadership roles.  So, I see a slight drop off to start, but the young
guns finishing strong - I hope!
Running Backs - Oh Baby!  First, I'm glad to see Eddie go!  Liked him, thought he
had a BIG chance to make a difference, BUT I'm still pissed he was not dedicated to
the team!  Montgomery, a year better, a Stanford grad, and another great young man!
Re-signing Christine Michael is a no brainer.  Need some depth & really think he has
speed & enthusiasm, BUT at time runs out of control & may be a fumble waiting to
happen!  NEED to draft a running back in rounds 3 or 4!
Wide Receivers: Still looking good here - Jordy, Randall, and Davonte.  Love the
undrafted rookie from last year - Geronimo Allison, I see a diamond in the rough!
Tight Ends, loved Cook last year, BUT like Bennett & Kendricks this year - looks like
Richard Rodgers is 3rd string!  I think Aaron will be drooling over the possibilities!

Defense - STILL VERY WORRIED!!!
Defensive line - Like the addition of Jean Francios, but he is mostly a run stopper!
Stupid Guion is suspended the first for games! - Drugs!  I think they may cut him, and use the $3 million on someone else!  With Lowry & Fackrell a year older, that is good!  Daniels still the
leader, that is good.  Other players are average - would like to see a DT drafted rounds
3-4.
Linebackers - Outside, reigning Perry great - Matthews a year older & probably will
still be moving around, which I like!  Inside, young guns Ryan & Martinez a year older!
I like them, but need to see improvement!  Not much depth hear, draft - rounds 1-3!
Safeties - lost all around Hyde, but style have two of the best in the league with Burnett
and Clinton-Dixx.  Hope some of the young players can provide the depth!
Corner Backs - OH BABY!! Still need HELP!!!!  Losing Shields was a BIG hit!
Young players Randall & Rollins seemed overwhelmed!  Was it just a sophomore slump
and losing Shields?  Time will tell, but I would try to draft a BIG TIME CORNER!

Special Teams - remained unchanged.  Probably a new long snapper & still not
thrilled with out punter!

Amount of $$$$ left under the cap?  Around - $20,000,000.

So, my advice - KEEP LOOKING TEDDY!
