I can't say I'm excited about anyone really. Obviously, Free Agency isn't over and the draft is yet to take place.

Pickett was one of the NFL's top DTs when we got him. While his age is getting up there, he is still a good veteran player. Raji is a much better player than he showed last season, IMO. He was over utilized. Too many snaps for the big fella. Hargrove may in fact be a gem. While it is early, I like what players and coaches from other teams have had to say about him. He improves this group. Muir, looks to be a serviceable guy in rotation behind Pickett.

The rest really are uninspiring. I'm guessing we add 2 - 4 players to this group. DE (2), NT and DT. This is a top priority on our team to upgrade, along with OLB. I'll be thrilled if we can replace Guy, Neal, Wilson, Wynn and Jones with better talent.

I'm guessing 🇹🇹 goes BPA between DL and OLB for his first pick. Our DL right now was the weak spot of the team. Its ineptitude is what killed our D.

I hate to say this, but Raji may be one of the most overrated D players in the NFL today. No way he deserved the Pro Bowl nod. Pickett's age seems like it's creeping up. Those two are so much above everyone else we currently got that I'm not gonna even waste any more typing.

Beyond Pickett and Raji we don't have a D-line. Must be why we had two man fronts many times last year.

I'm hoping Guy develops this year. Probably the reason I have high hopes for him is that he played really well against Wisconsin a couple of years ago. I hate to say it but with Jenkins and Jolly gone that's a pretty sorry looking group outside of Raji and Pickett.

One thing I think many are failing to account for upon the 2nd & 3rd year players is that last off season was a total loss on any development. The lockout impacted last years rookies some, but I think it was a critical loss for players coming out of their 1st pro year.

Guys like Wilson and yes Neal both didn't have the benefit of working in the off season with the coaching staff and being pushed by the training staff.

My point here is simple, lets not completely write off these players at this point.

And why value either Muir or Hargrove?

Muir was a player that would have stuck with the Packers if at that point we didn't have a excess of DT at the time. He was then snapped up and played a considerable amount for the Colts. Should we expect a stout pass rush from him.. probably not, but from memory he has a decent burst and could play an important role.. rotation.

Hargrove, IMO, will do one thing here in GB.. he will be brought in to play DE on passing situations to provide push.. if nothing else to make the opposition at least respect if in the blocking scheme. Last season, the opposition could plan for single blocking our ends and allow more to be pushed out to the edge. If he can at least force the opposition second level of protection to at least look his way it will be an improvement over last season.

It might not be popular, but IMO, if your downs in a 3-4 can provide a push, it expands the DC ability to call "effective" blitz calls from a number of holes not just the edge.. basically pushes the protection into mistakes.

Bumping this thread just to get conversation going, does anyone here think the DL is NOT a big problem?

Mucky Tundra (12h) : @AndyHermanNFL Sean Rhyan getting some reps at center in walkthroughs. They are rotating guys everywhere.

Mucky Tundra (13h) : that was from the 29th but I've seen other combs (including Rhyan@C)
Mucky Tundra (13h) : @ByRyanWood Without Elgton Jenkins and Zach Tom, #Packers starting OL: Rasheed Walker, Jordan Morgan, Josh Myers, Sean Rhyan, Andre Dillard.
Martha Careful (17h) : I have never seen an OTA, but who is lining up at LT and RG with starters? or is it all individual drills?
Zero2Cool (23h) : Bears are the first team to be selected for Hard Knocks
dfosterf (29-May) : Andy Herman and his Pack a day podcast put up GB strengths yesterday. This morning he did weaknesses. They are both very good.
Zero2Cool (25-May) : Yes.
beast (24-May) : Does he say what it is?

Zero2Cool (22-May) : SISSIES!!!!
Mucky Tundra (22-May) : Sounds like both Kraft and Tom were injuried before OTAs began
buckeyepackfan (22-May) : Not serious but waiting for strength and conditioning coach referwnces.
buckeyepackfan (22-May) : Tom and Kraft both injured(pectoral muscle),
Zero2Cool (20-May) : I feel similar about person and product/service.
beast (17-May) : Not sure why a players views reflect on GB... instead of simply on the player
Martha Careful (17-May) : I bet some of us have had 6+ mRNA jabs, a UKR flag on our walls, and still think Fauci has a thread of integrity
Zero2Cool (16-May) : From what I've read, it's all Jets , not us.
CanPackFan (16-May) : Will there ever be a time when Rodgers' whacko views will not reflect on GB? He is the past, thank god.
Zero2Cool (16-May) : Jan 4th gonna be rough with that start time lol
Zero2Cool (16-May) : Packers schedule listed. Boom.
buckeyepackfan (15-May) : Let the leaks begin. Colts @ Packers week 2, Vikings @ Packers week 4
Zero2Cool (14-May) : WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling to Bills
Zero2Cool (14-May) : Jets and Aaron Rodgers open up on Monday Night Football,

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st
Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.
beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.
