Packers’ defensive rebuild provides big test for the Eagles

We’re mere hours away from a Thursday Night Showdown between the Philadelphia Eagles and a Green Bay Packers team that is 3-0 for unfamiliar reasons. Aaron Rodgers gets all the headlines, but the Eagles’ offense has a tough task ahead of them facing the Packers’ third ranked DVOA defense in their house.

Over the last four drafts, the Packers have had thirteen selections in first two days. They’ve spent ten of those on defensive players. You have to travel all the way back to the selection of offensive tackle Derek Sherrod in 2011 to find an offensive player selected by the pack in the first round.
