I think we're fine at NT.
We keep 6 DL. Two at each position.
NTs are Pickett and Raji. Pickett is the run stuffer, Raji is the pass rusher.

I'm quite disapointed in the way the Packers played yesterday, as well, but how many teams would manage to get an o-line function properly when your starting RT is on IR, your back-up T still isn't able to play, your guard has to move to T and a third year UDFA has to play G.
To be fair, after knowing that Sherrod would be out for such a long time, we should've taken a look on the waiver wire and try to get a bit deeper with either a veteran tackle or guard, but there are very few o-lines in this league that could survive two tackles going down.
Then, combining that with your nr. 1 receiver being out, that makes for a pretty tough situation for any offense.
The defense is even extremer, with two of your best players out, your only other OLB who seemed to have a chance at rushing the passer and a starting corner. I'd like to see how that Denver defense does when Dumervil and Miller get injured, joining Tracy Porter.
I'm not saying that we shouldn't look for depth at those positions, it's just that you can't possibly have every single position covered depth-wise.
