dwaye50327 88 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Wouldn't mind seeing a LB early in next years draft. Micah Parsons would be nice, but he probably won't be there. Maybe even Dylan Moses, read an article that said he's only missed 5 tackles out of 107 attempts. GB could use that kind of tackling on defense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

vegas492 2,235 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I've been able to watch quite a few Ravens game. Queen is...well...he isn't very good yet. Every time I see him, he's missing tackles, getting way out of position or being burned on pass routes. He's had a few splash plays, no doubt, but overall, label me unimpressed. I thought he was one of the guys we could have taken instead of Love. But man, that would have been a big mistake. I kind of pity any ILB that has to play in this defense. I'm good moving forward with Barnes and Martin. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Packerraymond 7,269 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Maybe one days fans will realize we won't be drafting an ILB in round 1. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But the packers will probably draft some player that no one has ever heard of out of some small town college.

moretti19 179 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I’m thinking we go a 3/4 Defensive End, Corner, or O-Line. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's what we want, but won't necessarily get. I'm starting to think that we need to adopt the method that Pittsburgh and Baltimore use for 3-tech IDL: grab a middle of the road, yet solid veteran who can collapse the pocket and get you 7-8 sacks a year, then draft a couple within the 1st and/or 2nd. That said, which IDL do you draft and do you draft him over a OT or Corner; especially given how exposed our secondary was early on Sunday(could've been scheme of course).

Dylan Moses' dad would stop that pick a la Archie Manning circa 2004... Side note: why do people think we're still anemic at ILB? Krys Barnes has been solid for us, Kamal Martin has played well, Kirksey is solid when healthy. Maybe we wouldn't view it as a need if we had more talent in front of them and a DC that wasn't constantly putting only 2 IDL in the box. Just a thought...

There are only a few on here that think ILB is a need. I believe that even if we had an Urlacher or Lewis, we would still be complaining about our ILB play. It's all about scheme and who is in front of them. Had we drafted Queen, we'd be laughing and crying about how bad he look right now. No knock against Queen, but he looks kindda bad (to me) in Baltimore. It would look much worse here. No problem at all with Martin and Barnes. I'm actually encouraged by them and no longer view ILB as a want or need. Kirksey can be gone next year and we won't miss a beat. He can follow Pettine somewhere else. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CrazyJoeDavola 26 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 So I browse the mocks drafts being out out by various sources just to get a feel on names and where players are expected to go. The common theme for the Packers once again this year is WR in round one. Will the media melt down when, once again, the kick is not a WR? The only linebacker I would want in the first is Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah. I think he can be that Raven Greene type player but with more pop to him. Also, he will be long gone. Like others have said, improve the DL and all of a sudden those LB’s get better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gopackgo972 278 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Anyone know if Jevon Holland from Oregon would be a good fit for this defense? He was used mainly as a nickel backer in college but he can play anywhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
