The Green Bay Packers are, of course, focused on 2014 and the road to an NFC North title and Lombardi Trophy.
However, in a recent mailbag for ESPN.com, writer Rob Demovsky addressed what position he thinks the Packers will focus on in the first round of the 2015 NFL Draft:
Obviously, it depends on where the Packers are picking and who is available but much like last season when it was so obvious the major weakness was at safety, this year's gaping hole is at inside linebacker. When the Packers couldn't land C.J. Mosley or Ryan Shazier in the first round of last year's draft, they inexplicably ignored the position all together. Now, you can't fill every hole in every draft, and they clearly upgraded their safety spot with Ha Ha Clinton-Dix in the first round and found other contributors with receiver Davante Adams and center Corey Linsley. General manager Ted Thompson will have to do the same at inside linebacker in next year's draft. It's the biggest problem his team faces right now.
All in all, bank on the Packers putting defense first next summer when it comes to the NFL Draft.
