I'm looking for some input on a mock draft we are holding at milehighreport.com.

Greetings!

My main passion is the Broncos, but over at milehighreport.com we are going to be doing a mock draft, and I chose to represent the Pack, another team I like.

Now, I have some decent knowledge of Green Bay, but not nearly as much as I know the Broncos.  As I see it, tight end, defensive tackle (with loss of Williams), CB, and a backup QB are the biggest needs going into the draft.

At tight end, Bubba Franks is not the biggest loss in the world, but the positional depth behind Lee is now non-existent, and the "safety valve" cliche may make this an important position for Rodgers.

At corner, the starters are definitely aging and there are a couple of good young guys that may be ready to step into starting roles but having some depth to challenge them would be a good idea.

At defensive tackle, obviously the loss of Williams hurts.  There are some capable tackles on the roster, but they could use a new face to challenge them for the open starting slot or provide a backup.

At QB, Rodgers will need a backup in his first year as the starter.  This need may be better addressed by acquiring an experienced free agent, but the market this year is pretty sparse in the QB department I do believe, so a draft pick might be the best way to get a backup, but probably not with the first round pick.

Positions that appear to be pretty well set to me are LB of any kind, RB, WR (maybe need a guy for depth), safety, DE, K.

As far as the O-line goes, I didn't see enough Packer's games last year to tell who's good and who isn't.  I do know the Packer's have switched to a zone block system, and they may still be in the process of acquiring new personnel that is ideal for zone blocking.  Any input you guys have for the O-line would be great.

As far as overall draft strategy, the team seems to have a great group of talented young players with a few key veterans.  To me, I believe Green Bay would be best served by drafting the best available players, with some consideration to positional need, but mostly I believe the team wants more young players to keep their talent deep and be prepared for smooth transitions when the veterans leave.

So, let me know what you think of my analysis, and add some input.  Right now I'm mostly thinking strategically/positionally and not thinking about specific players, I'll probably open another diary to discuss particular prospects at the key positions.  Also, please answer the poll, selecting the position you believe has the biggest need.
