[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 1059732, member: 12283"] I apologize that I'm creating another post like this. I'm bored. With Banks and Hobbs in the fold, here's how I would stack up the positions on the roster by need. [B]1: [/B]Nothing but roster competition needed; late round pick or UDFA [B]2: [/B]Only depth needed; middle to late round pick [B]3: [/B]Key depth or future starter needed; day 2 to middle round pick [B]4: [/B]Competition for starting job or key role needed; 1st round or day 2 pick [B]5: [/B]Immediate upgrade needed at starting spot; first round pick or multiple picks [B][U]Tier 5[/U]: [/B] None; I think the Packers could play a game tomorrow and be competitive with almost anyone. [B][U]Tier 4[/U]:[/B] -[B]Defensive Tackle: [/B]There isn't anyone currently on the roster that I feel great about playing the 1T position. Clark would be the logical option, but he's starting to decline and he doesn't really want the role anymore. His presence keeps this spot from being tier 5, but I could see the right rookie having a big role immediately playing next to the rotation of Wyatt and Brooks. [B]-Wide Receiver: [/B]This has been pretty thoroughly discussed-- they need vertical speed as well as depth to hedge against the fact that the current top 4 are hitting 2nd contracts over the next two seasons. [B]-Defensive End: [/B]The Packers have four guys who are capable of giving them snaps, but they could use a pass rush specialist. The coaching changes they made signal that they saw coaching as a bigger issue than talent last season. I do wonder if Brenton Cox is something of a sleeper. They traded Preston Smith for almost nothing and the main result of that move was that Cox started playing 20-30 snaps/game. [U][B]Tier 3[/B][/U][B]: -Cornerback: [/B]While I don't love any of the options here, they clearly plan to play Nixon, Hobbs, and Valentine. Furthermore, Bullard is going to play a lot of slot for the Packers. So depth is technically all that's needed here, but plenty of it. [B]-Offensive Line: [/B]It's difficult to say where the Packers need more depth right now because it's unclear whether they want Morgan to be a tackle or a guard long-term. This isn't urgent, but I could see a middle round selection to continue bolstering depth and guarding against the potential departures of Walker and/or Rhyan. Also worth noting that Jenkins is a candidate next off-season to be released. [B][U]Tier 2[/U]: -Tight End: [/B]Kraft looks like a long-term fixture and there's still time for Musgrave to materialize, but they could use another player with blocking acumen. If the right guy is out there, I wouldn't be surprised to see an inexpensive veteran addition. [B][U]Tier 1[/U]: -Quarterback: [/B]If the right player falls in the draft, I could see making the investment in a future QB2, but otherwise all they need here is a camp arm. [B]-Linebacker: [/B]I rank this position here fully anticipating that they will work out an extension for Walker. Allowing that, they have the top 3 guys under control and can continue developing Hopper as the top reserve. [B]-Safety: [/B]Even if Bullard is primarily a nickel, the starters are set and under control in McKinney and Williams. Anderson showed he was a capable player late in the season and they have Oladapo in the pipeline. [B]-Running Back: [/B]They already have more running backs worthy of making the roster than they have room for. I would not be surprised if they continued to use FA to add at WR, designated pass rusher, or blocking tight end. [/QUOTE]
