The Packers start 2013 as they did 2012 as the Favs to win the One-Trick Pony NFC North. They have Aaron Rodgers the best of the "Monsters Inside the Pocket" Series. They thought getting Left Tackle Bryan Bulaga back was going to help the O-Line and he goes down with an ACL Tear and scheduled to miss 2013...and that news for that O and A-Rog is not good.
Offensively they will most likely go with Rookie Left Tackle and 4th round pick David Bakhtiari and they have to once again do some shuffling along that O-Line to keep A-Rog Upright. They have arguably a Top Three Trio of WRs on Cobb, Nelson, and Jones. They drafted 'Bama Running Back Eddie Lacy and Westwood Back Johnathan Franklin and as they try to start that Running Game.
Defensively they get Datone Jones from UCLA as the Packers Scouts went to hangout with Jim Mora Jr. (UCLA Head Football Coach) and liked his Players a a lot. Both Ryan Pickett and B.J.Raji will hold down the middle as Raji is looking for a big year and at the end of the year also looking for Packers Duffel Bags with some 2nd Contract Cheese in them. AJ Hawks along with 2012 Pick Nick Perry and Bloodline Matthews hold down the Backers. Matthews also received a new deal in the Spring to keep him in Lambeau for awhile. That Secondary is led bu Morgan Burnett who also inked a extension and those Corners of Shields and Tramon Williams are good.
