The Green Bay Packers invested a lot into the defensive side of the ball in recent years. The on-the-field return hasn’t matched the investment. Whilethe offensive side of the ball needs help of its own, Green Bay could very well be going back to the defensive side of the ball early on in this year’s draft.
The defensive spending spree began during 2019 free agency when the Packers signed Adrian Amos, Preston Smith, and Za’Darius Smith, totaling over $150 million in contract values. In that same draft, equipped with a pair of first-round picks, the Packers drafted Rashan Gary and then Darnell Savage.
