We finished tied for 7th in sacks this year. So, I am not sure why that is priority #1.
We had 43 sacks for the year or 2.69 per game. Tied with Minnesota and Detroit. Denver led the league with 52 sacks.

But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

Unless they think guys like Jayrone Elliott are ascending to place that Peppers will soon vacate. That said, who doesn't need more pass rushers? As for defensive needs, here is what I consider to be the order of need.
1. ILB
2. DL
3. OLB
If we get a lights out ILB (assuming there is one to get when the Packers make their pick), then Clay can move back to OLB, which pushes the need for OLB down the list a bit.
As for DL, it somewhat depends on whether they sign Raji and/or Guion. Is Pennel and ascending player? Do the Packers still value Josh Boyd, or will he be healthy? Perhaps if they sign Guion and Raji back, they can draft a DL in the later rounds or as a college free agent.
OLB will depend on what they do with Perry and Neal. They should try and keep both, but may not. Jayrone Elliott is an ascending player. If there is a special pass rusher to be had at OLB, I'm all for that. As long as they play the 3-4, they'll continue to need a lot of good linebackers, but may not have to spend high if they can get their own guys re-signed, if the money lines up.

Are you retaining Julius Peppers ThunderDan? He may retire? Does he need the cash?
His contract for 2016? How much is that? Again.... does he need the cash?

Above.. the Packers UFA's this year? Are any of those important to the Pass rush? How many are you retaining?

Luckily, I am not retaining anyone. That isn't my job.
If I was in charge of personnel I would let Peppers walk after last year. He was great in spots last year but disappeared for long stretches of games.
Like I said above, I am guessing that most of the spots will be filled by the time the draft rolls around.
