Neal, IMO, is pretty much a back-up kind of player. The kind of player you like to have for depth, but nothing special. If you get him for back up dollars, you keep him; if you don't, you let him go and you find another back-up kind of guy to replace him.
The Packers' problem is they need more and improved starter-quality players. Several more. They have no shortage of depth on defense -- what they lack is demonstrated high-level starters.
Definite starter quality: Matthews, Daniels, T. Williams, Shields (if re-signed), Hawk.
Probably starter quality: Hayward, Burnett (call 2013 his mulligan year).
To soon to call, so give benefit of doubt and assume they develop. But still potential only: Perry, Datone Jones.
Worth giving a serious chance to start, but if he can't beat out Brad Jones? Lattimore.
I wish it weren't true, but he looked seriously on decline last year: Pickett.
The rest? I find it hard to get excited about any of them. Backups all.
Neal included.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
