Packers Lack ‘Elite’ Players

GREEN BAY, Wis. – This is a key draft for the Green Bay Packers, who, unlike last year, didn’t make any big splashes in free agency to fortify their roster.

Great players win football games. The Packers don’t have enough of them. In its massive draft preview for subscribers, Pro Football Focus went through the rosters of each team and ranked the players in tiers. In all, PFF listed 49 players as “elite.” The Packers have two: left tackle David Bakhtiari and defensive tackle Kenny Clark.

That’s better than most teams but it lags well behind New Orleans, which has seven.
