Guessing we draft all defense again because our offense is pretty unstoppable

Not sure what you mean by all defense again. Last year their 1st round pick was on offense, and the year before both their 2nd round picks were on offense. But I do think CB is biggest need, assuming Jaire won't be back.

[Joemailman]

Bears dropped from 6 to 10 by beating Packers. I expect them to go OL in 1st round, although Edge can't be ruled out.

Hi,
I assume the Packers have to address their lack of impact corners on their roster. I can't see them taking the cap hit on Alexander, but they have to recognize that counting on him to be on the field is unsustainable. They have to build depth at this position so they do not have to entrust in him actually playing.

The injury to Watson, if it’s as expected, makes drafting a WR that can take the top off a defense a priority.

CB, WR, and edge rusher might be the top priorities. I expect they’ll rebuild the CB position to allow man to man defense and I expect Jaire will be released. DL may also be on the table, but I don’t think it’s as big a need as the other positions.

I think maybe they do take the dead cap hit, even though they're already going to have about 18 million dead cap. It will save them 7 million on the cap and move on. They could also cut/trade him with June 1 designation and have 8 million dead cap and save 17.5 on the cap.

I think you’re spot on. WR is definitely on the table.
Also might add LB as we are a little thin there. Throw in another OL and we would have a good draft.

[ThunderDan]

We need to address CB & DL.

Need help on OL & WR. Need more depth at LB. A dominate edge would really help the team if one is left where we draft.

[King Friday]

I think WR is a priority, specifically someone capable of beating man defense.
I think CB is a priority, because it basically always is.
I think DEs that are strong 4-3 prospects are also top priority.
I would like to see one of these areas addressed through free agency, which has been a strong suit of Gute so far.

[texaspackerbacker]

Taking multiple Corners is the top priority. We aren't that bad anywhere else. A fast WR maybe - if Watson is badly messed up, maybe even if he's not, given his history

[run pMc]

Agree CB is a problem, but I think figuring out their pass rush issues might be the priority, then the CBs. If they let Jaire and Stokes go then that changes.

They feasted against TEN and SEA, and were ranked about 22nd in pass rush against everyone else. That's not gonna get it done no matter who is covering receivers. It's definitely not going to get it done in the playoffs, where the best teams have good OL and QBs.

I assume they will draft 2 CBs, if they do I hope they have good agility because that's what beats them (Jefferson, Addison, St. Brown, DJ Moore). Not saying I want LaDarius Gunter slow corners, but I don't want guys who are only fast in a straight line either.

Watson's injury is being reported as a torn ACL. Maybe he just doesn't have a body built for the NFL.

WRs are always a need - it's a passing league and a WR should be taken at some point in just about every draft
