2013 NFL Draft- Green Bay Packers
Wednesday, 17 April 2013
D.J Fluker to Green Bay
The packers also need to improve their offensive line. Marshall Newhouse has done an alright job since getting the starting job, but all he has been is just 'alright'. I think he played pretty good in the NFC Divisional Game, but throughout last season he played up and down. I don't really want to pick on Marshall Newhouse since I have seen the improvement, but I'm just of the belief that if you have the best player in the game (according to NFL top 100 last season), you should protect him with the best offensive line possible, especially at left tackle. The packers did try to get an offensive lineman in the first round a couple years ago when they selected Derrick Sherrod, but he has been injured every since being drafted. I don't think I've even seen him in the jersey 'just joking'. I would love to see the packers select DJ Fluker out of Alabama if he is still on the board. I know Fluker is projected to be a Right Tackle in the NFL, but I think we should play Fluker on the right side, and move Bulaga to the left. If we don't get Fluker, than hopefully Chance Warmack, 'gotta love those Crimson Tide'. I've picked players from Alabama also because they know how to win, and I believe thats an integral part of sustaining success in an already successful organization.
#1 Need?
I don't believe that the packers really have a dying need on their team. The packers have built a formidable team through the NFL Draft, and it doesn't hurt to have the best QB in the game. Even with how great I think the packers are, the truth is the 49ers ran, and ran, and ran some more all over them in the NFC divisional game. That really hurt to say, but its true, and life goes on. I've been reading numerous mocks drafts from the so called experts, and their saying that the packers need a tight end, or a safety, or an offensive lineman. I totally agreed with the offensive line, but the other two positions I'm kinda ok with for now. I think the position the packers need to look into is the defensive line. I constantly hear that the packers have depth on their d-line, I think the depth is weak on the d-line. Other than B.J Raji who do the packers really have, that you can remember making an impact on the d-line..............that's what I thought lol. Anyway with the 26th pick, I'd be out of my mind to think that a certain player might be available at the 26th pick, but stranger things have happened. The packers did get Aaron Rodgers at pick 24. The packers need a big nasty d-lineman to stop Colin Kaepernick, and Adrian Peterson from running on them. So I think they need a big, tough, defensive end, and I think that defensive end should be Jesse Williams from Alabama. Jesse isn't the perfect player yet, but I think he is the type of player that is missing from the Green Bay defensive line. The packers need a player like Justin Smith on the 49ers. If they could get someone close to that dude, the packers defensive would make tremendous strides next season.
