    -RB: I disagree with the 4 star rating. Out of the 5, we've only seen 3 run the ball in the NFL. 2 were awful and the 3rd was mediocre. I understand the Lacy/Franklin combo is talented and I think there's a solid chance they turn the running game around in GB in due time, but giving them the 2nd highest rating based on that is premature.

     

    -WR: I also disagree that RB will be anywhere close to as good as WR in Green Bay this year. I agree that the depth isn't as good as it could be, but Nelson-Cobb-Jones is a great trio. Basically you have 3 vet RB's returning, all pretty bad, and 3 vet WR's returning, all pretty good. So how in the world would RB figure to be the bigger strength? Nelson in particular is being underrated as we come into this season. He's Rodgers' best outside receiver and is due for a huge year, health allowing. And something tells me if they need a 4th receiver to step up, Boykin will do just fine.

     

    -OL: The only thing I'll mention here that I think is overlooked is the potential for a healthy Derek Sherrod to win the RT job and provide an upgrade from Newhouse.

     

    -DL: I think Raji figures to spend more and more time at NT, as the Packers have spent a 2nd and 1st round pick on guys who are DE's only. I'm guessing they view the future as Worthy-Raji-Jones.

     

    A little explanation on the RB/WR grades.

     

    I gave them 4 at RB because they have a bunch of average guys but the ceiling is high because of the 2 talented rookies.

     

    And while they do have 3 very talented WRs, Jones incredibly overreached his talent last year - he was barely top 40 in anything but his 1st ranked TDs - and Nelson isn't exactly a #1 either (more like a very solid #2). Cobb is their best threat but he isn't an outside guy.

     

    I called Nelson and Jones 4 star guys and Cobb a 5 star in the slot. That's pretty good, but absolutely no depth means they're one Nelson/Jones injury away from being forced to start Boykin. The ceiling for WR is 4 stars (in my opinion) as Jones and Nelson aren't dominant WRs and there's no depth, while RB is 3 stars with the potential to be higher if the rookies develop quickly. So... as it stands there is more starting talent at WR yes, but by the end of the year it could shake out because of an injury or a rookie RB developing that RB is the stronger position.

     

     

    Thanks for the response though.

    Soooooooooo

     

    What part of the Bold didn't you get? The man predicted they were going to sweep a team that beat them twice?

     

    I don't care what team he follows it sounded like he was a New Orleans fan. Not much negativity in the post considering they had the worst defense in NFL History.

     

    The Saints won 7 games in 2012 with the worst defense in the league and no head coach simply because of their offense. Now they have their coach back and they appear to have made some modest improvements to a defense that should regress them nearer toward average.

     

    They lost to the Panthers by a combined 13 points while their defense gave up 77. If you think that 38-44 loss at home to the Panthers in week 17 is at all representative of what you'll see out of the Saints in 2013, it's been WAY too long since you saw the 2011 Saints (13-3, 5-1 in the NFCS).

    A shot at the QB buried in the DB section. For shame.

     

    At this point, I'm just glad there's someone saying that Gabbert > Henne.

     

    You can't argue that Gabbert has been a good QB. They have to realize that at some point. But he is better than Henne, so until they draft another guy in the 1st round they need to stick to Gabbert and try to build for their future.

    John Abraham wasn't really playing all that well. He's old, over the hill, and the Falcons don't need him. Osi will be fine there.

     

    Brent Grimes wasn't worth what he wanted, not to mention he was injured quite a bit. Their second-best corner is Asante Samuel and they still have him.

     

    You don't really need more than 1 great LB, so long as the guys surrounding him are good. Weatherspoon is more than capable of leading that defense.

     

    As far as safety goes, they have Thomas DeCoud and William Moore. DeCoud isn't great, but he's serviceable, and William Moore is going to turn heads this year. Did great last year. I still agree its their weak spot, but its not that bad.\

     

    Their best DT is Jonathan Babineaux, PFF stats notwithstanding. I assume you're referring to Vance Walker, but just because PFF stats say something doesn't mean its the case.

     

    Abraham was a top 10 pass rusher. Osi was outside the top 20 while playing across from a great pass rusher. Abraham did it alone.

     

    Babineaux is a great all-around guy, but he is a better pass rusher while Walker was their run stuffer.

     

    Grimes has been in the top 10 in coverage his last two full years (2010 and 2011). Samuel was outside the top 25 each of his least 2 years (including outside the top 50 in 2012). You cannot tell me Samuel is just as good as Grimes. Grimes is a solid cover guy, Samuel is a risk taker that gets torched frequently. It doesn't matter how much he wanted, Grimes was still the better corner.

     

    1 great LB and 2 below average guys does not equal fine.

     

    I said there was no depth at safety. The starting duo is great. Heaven forbid they have an injury because they have no one behind them though.

    Nawlins aint sweeping anyone, sry. You really underestimate all the other teams in the South.

     

    Atlanta's defense wasn't decimated by the offseason, lol, just for starters.

     

    They lost their best pass rusher and replaced him with Osi, who is not nearly the same quality.

     

    They lost their best run stuffing DT and replaced him with no one.

     

    They lost their top 2 CBs and replaced them with rookies.

     

    They have an injury prone safety and no depth.

     

    They have 1 quality LB.

     

    This is all from a team that ranked 27th against the run and middle of the road pressuring the QB and in coverage. I see nowhere that they improved and several places where they are worse off.

     

    Thanks for the opinion though.
