Quote:   I think the primary reason for Corey Linsley's down season is he wasn't relatively healthy a good portion of the season.   This coming season likely will decide the direction of his career.   Linsley exceeded practically everyone's expectations as a rookie after JC Tretter suffered an injury in the summer.  

 

   In the past,  I had a similar assessment of Josh Sitton as you.   In the present though,  it seems like that wear and tear is starting to catch up to him at least a little.   Sitton has had some epic battles over the years, including 2 a season with former Lions DT Ndamukong Suh.   It eventually takes it's toll on the body.  

 

   Along with WR,  Ted Thompson probably will spend multiple picks on Offense on the Packers Offensive Line.   There's no question that Don Barclay isn't a solution.   He regressed badly last season when called into action at RT.  

 

That's a fair point on Linsley, I'd just like to see another good season before I'd consider him more than a solid starting center. I'm more willing to give Sitton the benefit of the doubt because I've seen him do it for years, but as you said he's had some serious wear and tear over his nine years.

 

I completely agree with you on the bolded part there, but I don't think he's going to invest in a WR this draft. I really think they are banking on Janis and Abbrederis elevating their play, which I personally wouldn't count on. They should add another speedster to take pressure off all their possession receivers since Jordy is coming back from an ACL and he's over 30, but I don't see room for one on the roster if they plan on keeping those two around.

 

Nelson, Cobb, and Montgomery are all completely safe in my opinion. Adams, Janis, and Abbrederis will likely round out the corps.
