  • What are our main needs this offseason?

    Just my thoughts in no order:

    QB: nothing unless Favre retires then if he does we need a Vet backup OR we could say F you AR and try to get Matt Shaub

    RB: A stud rookie RB that can make decisive cuts in the ZBS system. I like Mike Turner in SD but who doesnt

    WR: Stud BIG guy prolly a third rounder or so

    TE: I would love to see 6'7" Spaeth from Minnesota playing TE here

    OL: One more Vet Guard to backup the line that can play center and guard.

    DL: Dwight Freeney Other than that we already have a ton of good talent on the line

    LB: SLB Adalius Thomas make it so

    DB: We need a revamped secondary at the corner position we are either too old or too young there is no intermediate help! With that in mind and the fact that Woodson will be gone i would say SIGN NATE CLEMENTS!!!!! he is a stud CB and if we keep Woodson this team could have a dominate secondary. Think about this: Woodson at SS, Collins at FS, Harris covering a second WR and Clements shutting down a number one guy LOVE IT!

    ST: Kickers are fine but I would like to see a Ponder or a Welker to return Kicks here.
    Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

    TO.

    Lot's of football left. I'm hopefully optimistic we could be 4-4 soon enough.

    I'm saying 7-9 to 9-7 (adjusted lower from my season long prediction of 9-7 with some close losses already).

    But, for the offseason, it's primarily secondary players/coaches/schemes. We may need to address LB as well on D.

    The OLine will gell over this year. Maybe upgrade w/ FA but grow deeper here late in the draft.

    WR/RBs are a must - depending on if KRob is back before next October. Get rid of Hendo/Green and go hunting in FA or draft a potential with a 1st round pick.

    QB is ok w/ w/o Favre. It will be ARod's year - we can get a journeyman backup in FA or a mid/late draft pick again (for a battle between Martin and someone else for backup/third string).

    We've been blessed with over 15 years of QB durability. Can ARod play this long - probably not - likely not. We need some depth there for the obvious injury protection we haven't had to address in the last 10 years. Just think, if Brett had gotten hurt, we'd either have Hassleback, Brunell, etc. under center. We had quite the run/luck w/ QB. I think ARod will be ok his first year.
    The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.

      Definitely need a RB and depending on what Favre does, possibly another QB. We need to start developing some tackles to replace Clifton and Tauscher down the line. A big playmaking WR is needed.

      On defense it would be nice to grab a stud DE, but those are extremely difficult to find. The secondary needs to be revamped again. Marquand doesn't look like the answer. Need a starting CB as well as some backups.

        Oh I know there is a lot of football left and since we are going to go on an 11 game win streak and winning the North I doubt we will get a decent pick HOWEVER I was just wondering since I was watching College ball today and Spaeth is fricken huge so it grew into a thread.

          Running Back and Wide Receiver are our biggest needs. Driver is still great, but he can't do it by himself every week. Jennings has been astounding, but we still need a solid #3. If you want a tall WR coming out of college later in the draft you could look at Matt Trannon out of MSU. 6'6, 235. Only problem is he runs a 4.65 40 yard dash.

          As I have said before, I'm a huge Kenny Irons fan, if we get a high pick, we could trade down, pick up Irons in the middle and maybe pick up an OL or WR in the late 1st, early 2nd.

                One #1 pick + 1 quality free agent = 1 elite running back & 1 elite defensive tackle.

                    if favre comes back next year

                    bring in randy moss

                    favre can lob all the balls he wants downfield, moss can get them

                    we also need a rb, a kgb replacement, and new cb's and te's

                    and a new d-cord and secondary coach

                      I totally agree with a new d cord and secondary coach thats a given. IF the Packers continue to struggle and end up with a high draft pick once again, WHY would Favre come back? Seriously, he wants to win championships and ball games at this stage we are not doing either. TT told Favre that in the off season he would give him "weapons" WHERE are they TT?

                      If they the Pack don't improve this year in wins from last year or even 6-10 at most Favre days here are numbered. Don't expect him to return in my opinion.

                          i don't know. favre sure has hell looks like he's having fun, and this is a very young team, they can only get better.

                          why stick around for the crappy years, only to leave before the payoff?

                              Tony,
                              So we just need 6 stud players and we'll be great. Boy, you're not asking for much!
