Dom isn't the one selecting them.

It was a bad draft year, they thought he was the best CB option, and physically he might be the best... but they're haven't troubles with the mental part of it with him.

Dom's not smart enough to win a chess game, he wants to be able to shift guys around without changing personell groupings. That's how you get all these 4-3 DEs playing 3-4 OLB too.

The smaller was just how writers tried to explain that they weren't interesting in those 340+, out of shape, power linemen

Dom has been winning the chest matches this year... and he usually is able to when he has the guys, he just hasn't had the guys most years or two big holes, which you can't cover up both.

They travel to Dallas next week and one team will win and the other will lose It won't be the end of the world for either team. Both teams will probably meet again in the playoffs when it actually matters.

I believe Daniels, House, Perry and more (Brice?) were all out this last game... and last year... Gunter was CLEARLY the best CB due to injuries.

I agree. The playoffs are what matters most. How has the Packers defense performed overall the past several years in the playoffs? With the exception of 1-2 games, they have been consistently horrible, and more than a few times, embarrassingly bad.
