Now that the Packers’ season is over, the most important offseason move that the team will make is to hire a quality defensive coordinator.
It’s more important than the draft or potential free agent acquisitions.
And the reason isn’t because the NFL has suddenly morphed into a defensive league. It’s because this team has plenty of talent. Kenny Clark (37) and rookie Karl Brooks (41) are both ranked in the top 50 among all defensive lineman according to Pro Football Focus. Rashan Gary (29) among all edge rushers, Jaire Alexander (32) in a down year among all corners and Darnell Savage (22) and Rudy Ford (42) among all safeties.
