Am I nuts in this Packers draft? Realistically, no. I've gone offense with the first four picks, but I think that's absolutely the next step for the Packers to get back to challenging for the Super Bowl. They've been woefully outmatched by excellent defenses in the NFC Playoffs. Yes, their defense needs to improve, but it's not going to improve just by drafting a bunch of rookies. The people they took last year need to improve and continue to develop. And they need to stop getting injured so goddamned often.
1. Tyler Eifert, TE, Notre Dame
2. Travis Frederick, C, Wisconsin
3. Jonathan Franklin, RB, UCLA
4. Josh Boyce, WR, TCU
All four of those guys are going to help Aaron Rodgers set the offense back to God mode, the way it used to be.
