OT Jake Long, Atlanta Falcons

Jake Long is far from the #1 overall pick of the 2008 NFL Draft, but that’s not to say Long doesn’t still have value for the Green Bay Packers.

The Packers were exposed at the end of the season when David Bakhtiari got hurt and they paid for it dearly.

Jake Long would bring stability as a backup just in case the Packers lose Bakhtiari or Bryan Bulaga during the season.

While Long has had his fair share of injuries himself, being a reserve would protect Long’s longevity while giving the Packers confidence in case they find themselves with injury problems again.

Next: Another nose tackle, anyone?
