1. Defensive Line

It wasn’t that long ago when the Packers were comfortable with the performance on the defensive line. My, how far they have fallen.

Kenny Clark is their only consistent player in the trenches they can truly count on. Kingsley Keke is quietly emerging and could be a quality player, but Dean Lowry, Tyler Lancaster and Montravius Adams clearly can’t be counted on.

Next. Packers and Jones starting over on contract talks. dark

If the Packers can add another monster upfront, it would help them in so many areas. For starters, it would make life easier on their inside linebackers and open up more gaps for the backer to fill in the running game. A player who can get after the quarterback by pushing the pocket would also alleviate some stress on the secondary and free up blockers for the Packers’ edge rushers. It sounds like a win all the way around if they can get the right player.
