Couple more thoughts.....

Front Seven was THE Biggest concern going into the draft by far.

Front Seven Going into the Draft

Jenkins/Pickett/Harrell or Jolly
Kampman/Hawk/Barnett/Poppinga or anyone else

Front Seven After the Draft

Jenkins/Picket or Raji/Raji or Pickett
Kampman/Hawk/Barnett/Matthews

Raji is a run stuffer and a pass rusher. He could add four to five sacks to this defense. That doesn't sound like a lot, but for a 3-4 defensive lineman, it is. For any DT, it is.

Matthews also could add a couple of sacks via the pass rush. Probably four or five again.

1. You upgraded your run game with Raji and now less pressure is on Justin Harrell and Johnny Jolly who become more rotational guys.

2. You add probably 8 sacks between the two players to this defense and that goes along with the 10 that Kampam is usually good for and Jenkins will get some too. It upgrades the pass rush.

You got to feel good about the Packers defensive front seven now. I feel great about it honestly and before the draft, I was really worried.

I'm with you on this - they really addressed that area, and it was good to see. Now anything we get from Harrell is almost a bonus - if he rebounds well from the injuries and inactivity, our rotation in front looks scary.

Come on Adrian, try to run over Big BJ.

I think our run defense will be much much better now.

I'm so glad that we got Raji, he upgrades our pass rush AND our run defense. Not often you get a dominating DT that can do both. If Raji stays clean, I think he will be one of my favorite people on this team.

truly, i think that we had a solid a- mostly because of b.j. raji, and clay Matthews. there was one sleeper that we got and i dont think many other know about:jamon meredith
mccarthy wont take sh** from him, he hasnt from anyone
solid blocking i think and one big guy

I'm incredibly happy with the draft, and doubly so after hearing that Pickett may kick outside on some downs in the 3-4. T.J. Lang was very underrated. I LOVE Raji. I had Meredith in all of my Packers mocks. The only thing I'm concerned about is Matthews because I really haven't watched him much, but I love his attitude in interviews/game clips.
I'm also happy as hell with how the UDFA signings have gone so far. Jamarko Simmons looks like a beast. Every one of those clips where he catches the ball in traffic he starts blowing by people.

2 questions - Where can I watch these interviews with Matthews and where can I watch these plays by jamarko Simmons ... and is he really 241 pounds for a WR? (NICE!)

beast (30-Jan) : College Coaches wouldn't want that publicly, as it would hurt recruiting and they might not get the job.
beast (30-Jan) : I thought they were supposed to publicly announce them, at least the NFL ones. Hafley was from college, so I believe different rules.
Mucky Tundra (30-Jan) : Who knows who they're interviewing? I mean, nobody knew about Hafley and then out of nowhere he was hired
beast (30-Jan) : I wonder what's taking so long with hiring a DL coach, 2 of the 3 known to interview have already been hired elsewhere.
