Playing around with PFF draft simulator and thinking about what we need most. Funny in a sad way it’s still defense mostly.
I see it as this priority.

Think Joe Alt or the penn state guy would be dream first rounders but probably require a trade up. I’m not completely out on sheed though.
Safety’s come pretty cheap so rather sign a guy in FA than draft one but also could be solid here if Rudy and Savage can stay healthy.
Aaron Jones is awesome but his health is obviously a concern and AJ Dillon has been better but not enough.
RG same as safety try to get one in FA but some good looking dudes or see if Rhyan is anything.
Also scorching hot take Nabers is better than MHJ.

Our biggest need is safety and it’s not close. Savage and Ford have been better than expected this year, but I don’t think they are who you want long term. Not to mention, both will be free agents. In fact the only safeties under contract for next season are Anthony Johnson Jr and Zayne Anderson.
Next up is tackle. We definitely need one, and depending on whether or not they want to move Tom inside, possibly two. Personally, I really hope that Bakhtiari gets his knee right and is able to come back and play, but from a team planning perspective you can’t count on that. Additionally, he’s just so expensive from a cap perspective that even if he were healthy there’s a decent chance the Packers might move on from him. Rasheed Walker is a nice player for a 7th round pick and you can get by with him, but at this point he’s not the guy you hang your hat on, if you can upgrade, you should.
Defense. It’s always defense. Good offense bad offense we need defense.
