Let’s dive in.
Packers news and notes from around FanSided
Draft profile: Safety Derwin James [Lombardi Ave]
Lombardi Ave’s Joe D’Aloisio spoke to Rick Serritella of NFL Draft Bible to get some insight on safety Derwin James, a potential first-round target. How would he fit into Mike Pettine’s defensive plans?
Re-grading the 2014 draft class four years on [Lombardi Ave]
The 2014 draft class was somewhat of a mixed bag. Grades are often thrown around the moment players are drafted, but it’s impossible to truly grade a draft pick until three or four years later. That’s exactly what we’re doing, looking back at an interesting 2014 class.
Offseason position review: Running backs [Lombardi Ave]
Last offseason’s work is paying off at running back. Green Bay forced itself to get better, replacing Eddie Lacy, James Starks and Christine Michael with Jamaal Williams, Aaron Jones and Devante Mays. So far, so good.
Offseason position review: Wide receivers [Lombardi Ave]
There is some uncertainty at the wide receiver position, however. Pro Bowler Davante Adams is the clear No. 1, but will GM Brian Gutekunst be in the market for a new wideout this offseason? What’s next for Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb?
