Green Bay Packers Draft Review

The Packers went into the draft with a glaring need at depth on the offensive line. Drafting tackle Bryan Bulaga made absolute sense. I don’t see it being long before this kid works his way into the starting lineup. They added a little depth to the defensive line by taking tackle Mike Neal out of Purdue. He’s a big guy that could contribute well to their defensive scheme.

Safety was also a concern, with Atari Bigby tending to be a little injury prone. The took Morgan Burnett, a strong safety out of Georgia Tech. He’s got good size and a good nose for the ball and he’ll bring some much needed depth at the position. Penn State tight end Andrew Quarless could turn out to be a solid player. Taking another offensive tackle, they grabbed Marshall Newhouse out of TCU. There should be great competition at the position come training camp, which will benefit the Pack.

The starting running back position is set with Ryan Grant, but drafting Buffalo running back James Starks was a good move. He’s bigger and could be a nice change of pace guy in the backfield. Adding more depth to the d-line, East Carolina defensive end C.J. Wilson could be an edge rusher in Green Bays defensive system. With more depth at the o-line, Green Bay should return to form this year.
