That's honestly not as bad as i was thinking it could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfanfb Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Yea I think DET will be looking OL, IDL or CB at No. 8 (or a trade back). Could be Oliver or Greedy Williams there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to be Greedy Williams before Oliver. That secondary is pretty thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcon14 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 This could push more EDGE down the board with DET adding Flowers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lions needed a big splash to try to catch up in the division. We need to catch up as well. I am ok waiting out the 1st day of FA but I am honestly worried about this season. I want to be optimistic but as things stand now, we are looking at an unproven head coach, a defense with below average to bad pass rush, a secondary than needs safety help and abysmal special teams. Maybe LaFleur turns the offense around but Rodgers needs more help than just Adams on offense as well. I am going to see how the FA and draft pans out before getting too upset but really hoping we get some proven help before the start of the season.

We have a good team, we just need to plug some holes and we need to really have a good draft. 6 guys in the top 118 helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 3 minutes ago, Joe said: ILB: What are our thoughts on Mark Barron and Deone Bucannon? Nickle defence is actually now the new base defence. Nickle requires a LB/S hybrid to be quick enough to cover TE and big enough to stop the run. That particular position is now standard and is required in today's NFL. I wanted the Packers to draft Deion Jones but instead they went for Spriggs. The next year we finally filled this position with Josh Jones but unfortunately he hasn't done a whole lot so far. If the Packers chooses to do so they can make up for their draft mistake by targeting the likes of Barron, Bucannon and IIoka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fistfullofbeer Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 7 minutes ago, FinneasGage said: looking at these deals and i no longer want to sign anyone Its definitely scary. You either overpay for proven players who have good chance in helping you out immediately. Or you wait till later in FA and get fillers hoping they can rebound and find a new gear in GB. The Collins contract is insane. Thats why if you can get ET on a 2 year contract, you go for it. I hate New England with a passion but I really like the way they are aggressive about trades and risky picks in the draft. That is how you land good to elite talent. GB's drafting has not been impressive over the last few years so one would think they would be more aggressive in FA and/or trades to get talent. But they have been neither. I am worried about the future of our team. Maybe things change around with BG but we still have Ted Thompson in the background. Not sure how much of a role he plays but our drafting and FA still is pretty aligned with his old philosophies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibrett15 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 people want to sign ET for 2/30, but think 3/45 for collins is a bad deal? I'm confused. Collins is younger and has no injury history and the back half 3/39 could seem like a really cheap deal in 2022-2024 cap numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
