You go BPA with the draft. If we didn't have the injuries we had we would've been better than we were.
Davante Adams and Cobb disappointed, but all Adams had to do was catch the ball. He didn't. He got hurt twice. Next year, we get those two back along with Jordy Nelson and Ty Montgomery. Both Janis and Abbrederis proved they belong in the league.
At linebacker, Jake Ryan just needs to lift more weights. He's not super fast, but he's already a better tackler than A.J. Hawk and Nick Barnett ever were. Sam Barrington will be back next season.
I'm in full agreement at TE. Richard Rodgers isn't as terrible as you said he is as he has the best hands on the team. However, with his skill blocking he should be the second TE. We need to draft someone like O.J. Howard out of Alabama or sign a Coby Fleener or something.

Honestly, I don't want Adams back. The most hyped player by the org in as long as I've been a fan. The things said about him on this very site were mind boggling. If you actually watched him play last year he had nothing special to him...same for Rodgers...NOTHING. I would hope as fans we would drop the idea that because they were drafted by the Packers that must mean they're good. It doesn't.
Ryan looks like another AJ Hawk but at least he wasn't a wasted 5th overall. A decent player for a 4th rounder. I think we need a bit more than decent there. Of course, you're not going to have a 53 with all pro bowlers.
Ted had a nice draft last time out. He needs to do it again because he ain't going to do anything else. Peppers will be gone. What are we doing at OLB/DE? Where's the pressure going to come from next year? Jayrone Elliot seems to get the Janis/Abby treatment. I don't understand...guy makes plays.
Oh, and the most important thing...I truly want a new DC and would love a new GM and HC combo but none of those things are going to happen unless someone decides to retire.
Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."
