I would only disagree with Safety being or greatest need. We could have Ed Reed in his prime and with our front 7 our secondary would suck. We can do more to improve our Safety play, but fixing what is up front.

Not sure who, but I would like to see maybe 3 Dlineman brought in to create serious competition in the trenches and create a deep rotation of bodies to cycle through and keep fresh.

There are still a couple of mid-range Safetys out there, as has been pointed out. Sooner, not later is the time to go after one. And high in the draft is a good time to get an ILB.

If we go the safety route, we are one injury from the same place, if we add multiple up front, we have more room for error.

They did make one signing, not sure who, heard it on the radio, signed the guy to a 42 mil contract but he failed his physical so the contract was voided.

There is massive money spent in the first week to ten days of free agency. I don't want the Packers any part of it unless it is another Reggie White type player. It is insane some of these deals we are seeing. Maybe large portions are signing bonuses that will be prorated? Either way, a free agent is a free agent for a reason.

I'm looking for the Packers to grab someone on the DL that's more of a tier 2 talent and will pay him tier 3 money. The Packers aren't a future hall of famer away from being legit Super Bowl threats. They are a few average to good defensive starters away.

I wonder how long the tier 2 talent is going to last.

Why do I fear that "Tier 2" for Ted means B J Raji?

On the other hand, what is the likelihood that there will be three DL brought in? Or would you count, say, Raji, as one of three if he re-signed? What about Neal? Does he count as 1/3 of the 3 you are hoping for?

Or are you also counting draft choices in your three?

Just wondering.
