Seems Raji was as effected by our lack of front 7 talent as was Matthews and our entire secondary. Green, Neal, Wilson, Zombo, So'Oto, Jones combined for a total of 3 sacks last year. Walden added 3. Wynn added 3. Those 8 players combined for 9 sacks? Wow. Osi Umenyiora had 9 all by himself for the Giants last year. Pierre-Paul had 16.5. Imagine what a guy like Raji could do with that kind of support alongside.

Raji needs a really good backup. I look at adding NT talent this draft as being super important, almost as much as OLB and DE. Raji is way more effective in a rotation, and with better talent around him. Took way too many snaps the past two seasons. Adding a guy like Poe or Ta'amu would be huge for Raji, Pickett and the rest of that DL.

As far as him looking better with great talent around him: who doesn't. The fact remains that he continually lost one-on-one match ups. Next season, he has to win more of those than he did last season. During the Super Bowl run, he would often push two people back relatively often. We need that Raji back from sure. Upgrading the talent around him will obviously help, but he has to step his game up again himself.

Speaking of Poe:

PFT 

“He’ll be overdrafted,” one personnel man told the Times of Trenton. “He did all of that at the Combine, so some team will take him way higher than he should go. I mean watch him play, just watch. He didn’t do anything. And he wasn’t playing at a very high level, either. All I know is he had one sack last year and it came against Austin Peay. You probably didn’t even know Austin Peay had a football team.”

Ok time to call for my one guy I would love the Packers to draft and Ted Thompson won't lol. I would really love to see Russell Wilson QB Wisconsin drafted by the Packers, With our line I would like to have someone that could step in after Rodgers goes down.A few years down the line we could see a solid starter sitting there waiting to take over.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)
