From Lambeau to Lombardi, Holmgren, McCarthy and LaFleur and from Starr to Favre, Rodgers and now Jordan Love we’re talking Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers football. This Packers Forum is the place to talk NFL football and everything Packers. So, pull up a keyboard, make yourself at home and let’s talk some Packers football.
Over my years of watching and being around football, I have learned that the 2 most important traits that determine a player's success, by far, are intelligence and grit. You can take a guy with average measureables, and if he has a superior brain, and is willing to sacrifice his body, fearlessly squaring up the ball carrier, bombing the pile- he will be a Pro Bowler with HOF potential if he stays healthy.

I really would have liked to see a DB drafted in the first round. Maybe one of the backups or PS players from last season will be adequate as the other safety, I hope so but don't have a lot of confidence. And it appears that slot CB will not be upgraded except through experience for Nixon.
The secondary is still thin although this fills the largest hole and is probably the best move the Packers made in the off season.
