"DRAFT UNLIKELY TO PROVIDE HELP THE PACKERS NEED"........GUESS THE WRITER ??

With just average health the Packers will probably improve over last year. But that doesn't mean much considering how much they underperformed last year.

We're in the same boat as everyone else though. Whoever wins the SB will have some pleasant surprises emerge from their 2016 and 2015 classes. This "one overpaid guy away" narrative in the heads of fans is baloney. That said, Ted please sign AP.

as PB pointed out in another thread somewhere on here, we had average health last year

and probably the year before that and the year before that. its time to stop using the injury excuse every year, it happens to everyone every year. sometimes you just have to cover your ass better then "undrafted rookie #1-10" for depth

Last year was an odd year. Although the total number of injuries wasn't severe, The Packers were hit at certain positions very hard. They played several games minus their top 3 CB's (Shields, Randall, Rollins). Clay got moved inside when their 2 starting ILB's were hurt at the same time. Montgomery became the starting RB because Lacy, Starks and Don Jackson were all hurt at the same time. No team has the depth to deal with those types of situations. I think it was bad luck that won't likely be repeated. If they can keep the total injuries at a reasonable level, I think they'll fare better in 2017.

The Packers team as a whole was injured at an average rate. But the defense bore the brunt of it, especially the DBs and OLBs.

Numbers wise we had average health last year. However, when a position gets hammered like CB did last year that will really screw your pass defense when you can't rush the passer and teams throw against you at will.
