The Green Bay Packers addressed every position of need in the 2013 NFL Draft -- except for safety.
Casserly: Draft steals on each day
Which players are bound to outperform their draft slots? Charley Casserly identifies 10 value picks to keep an eye on. More ...

General manager Ted Thompson brought in bodies at running back, defensive line, offensive line, linebacker and receiver, but a safety surprisingly was missing. That's a significant show of faith in M.D. Jennings and Jerron McMillian.

"I'm confident in those young men," Thompson said Saturday, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Tyler Dunne. "They played well last year."

Jennings and McMillian actually played at a satisfactory level -- and that's probably a kind assessment. Jennings started 10 games, had 52 tackles, two passes defensed and returned an interception 72 yards for a touchdown. McMillian had 27 tackles, five passes defensed and an interception. Neither was a playmaker while lining up alongside Morgan Burnett. Long-time Packers reporter Bob McGinn of the Journal Sentinel gave Jennings a C-minus grade for 2012 and McMillian a D-plus.

beast (17h) : Yeah, but is Kampman and the others in the NFL Hall of Fame?

beast (20h) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

Mucky Tundra (8-Jan) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : BALL DON'T LIE
