10. Anthony Castonzo

If the Packers choose to let Bulaga go it will likely be because he was priced out of their range. Although they are willing to pony up the cash, Bulaga’s injury history also presents a risk. That’s where Anthony Castonzo enters the picture.

Traditionally a left tackle, he’d have to switch to the other side of the line if he came to Green Bay. David Bakhtiari has a stranglehold on left tackle and isn’t going anywhere for a while.

Still, Castonzo is extremely underrated and has been of the better tackles in the league for a while now. At 32-years-old, he still possesses enough of his physical traits that allow him to dominate the competition. His forte is in pass-blocking which is really where he makes his money. Even then, he’s still passable in the run game.

9. Cory Littleton

Packers Wire recently highlighted Corey Littleton as a player the Packers should target in free agency and here he is at no. 9 on our list. Littleton is a tale of two players. On one hand, he’s elite in pass coverage and can address the Packers’ woes when it comes to covering tight ends and athletic running backs.

On the other, he struggles to defend the run–something Green Bay as a team had issues with throughout the season. In many ways, he’s the anti-Blake Martinez.

If the Packers are able to upgrade the line in front of Littleton, this signing might make a lot of sense. It would help mask his run-stopping inabilities and allow him to thrive doing what he does best.
