Do you agree with these five things? I would say Bulaga and Clark go to the bottom ONLY because those deals can be done after the other three.

What says you?

1. Cut Jimmy Graham.
2. Re-sign Bryan Bulaga.
3. Add another receiver
4. Clean up things at linebacker.
5. Lock up Kenny Clark.

1. Cut Graham
2. Lock up Clark
3. FA to address ILB
4. Figure out center position. Lindsley got his ass handed to him in both SF games.
5. See what is available elsewhere on the OL, if no better options sign Bulaga
6. either through the draft or FA, get another stud IDL
7. appoint KRK assistant GM

Are people really happy with CB Kevin King as a starter?

Maybe it's just me looking so hard at the scheme, but they played a huge amount of zone coverage, which in theory helped the CBs and ILBers out a ton, and gave them one less chess piece to move around up front, which could of been more aggressive with and help in blitzing, including run blitzing or clogging the line.

I just asked because the DT is getting all the blame, while struggling with getting less help, but King at times struggled and he was getting more help!

And CB is such an important position...Packers need to improve there too, and not many are talking about it.

On an absolute basis, no. On a relative basis, yes.

I am unhappier on defense with:[list][*]ILB 1[*]ILB2[*]IDL1[*]IDL2[/list]On offense, I am unhappier with, in no particular order,[list][*]RG[*]C[*]TE[*]WR[/list]

I think he's unhappy with any DL not named Kenny Clark.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

But he listed IDL1, which I thought was Kenny Clark, so I had to ask was Clark included in the worse than King.
