While much of the Green Bay Packers-related discussion this offseason has centered around the wide receiver position, the team’s front office has been hard at work keeping together a defense that, based on the eye test, looked improved in 2021 over recent years. The stats did not necessarily bear that out, as the team stayed steady in terms of points allowed and dropped a bit in DVOA, but when the whole unit was together in the postseason, they allowed just six points to a 49ers offense that finished fifth in the NFL in DVOA.
However, there is always room to improve, and this Packers front office has never been shy about using high draft picks to address certain critical positions on that side of the football.
