Maybe good fortune falls on Green Bay on the injury front for a change, and we see players step up to challenge for the ultimate prize again. If we land two of the top Safeties in this draft I believe we will be looking pretty good.

The tea leaves seem to keep pointing towards a lot of faith in the organization in what Hyde can do (or at least hope).

Clinton-Dix
Pryor
Bucannon
Brooks
Dixon
Ward
Reynolds

I believe that is the top tier, and they all look to be very capable and improvements over what we've experienced with Jennings and McMillian, and maybe even Burnett, Richardson and Banjo.

I think there is a 2nd tier that can also improve the position for us:

Bailey
Vereen
Huff
Ladler
Dowling
Deering (6-2 200 4.55 sleeper FS and KR from Rutgers)

And, I'm probably wrong in making up a 1st and 2nd tier. All I know is we always have the darlings of the draft in all the mocks first couple of rounds, and actually, there are a lot of other good or better players out there. Happens every year.
