Green Bay Packers 2008 NFL Draft and
Free Agency Team Needs
The top needs for the Packers to fill
in the upcoming draft and free agency.
Quarterback:
With the departure of Favre back up help is needed.
Safety: The fact that
Atari Bigby was starting for them in 2007 should be all we need to say.
Tight end:
Donald Lee is the only reliable player at the position. Former starter Bubba
Franks is prone to injury and was a salary-cap casualty because of a cap
number of more than $4 million
Cornerback:
Age is working against Pro Bowlers Al Harris, 33, and Charles Woodson, 31,
whose best days in coverage seemingly are behind them. No time like the
present to get their replacements identified and prepared to take over at a
moment's notice.
Outside linebacker:
Brady Poppinga, starting strong-side 'backer for two years, arguably is the
weak link of the defense and can't cover the tight end. The team has next to
nothing in reserve behind him.
