Personally I am pleased with the Packers draft.

Bang it below for an interesting take on the NFC North and how the draft changed the landscape.

Kinda a bullshit article.

The Bears and Lions all took large steps backward before the draft and didn't come close to compensating for the losses. The Vikings aren't gonna be much better either - from a shitty team last season.

The Packers may not have improved much, but they didn't need to improve much. They basically played some athletic long shots that could come through big - or not.

True, they need more that one good draft to catch up with us in the NFCN, but with last year's draft and this year's haul, they're an ascending team.

If you believe these kind of articles then you have to give kudos to The Packers coaching staff.

Every year it seems The other North teams draft better players, yet for the past 4 years, who is it that has won the division?

Post-draft grades are pretty much useless, anyway. It's nothing more than an indicator of how many needs you filled and how well your players lined up with mock draft projections.

The Vikings are an ascending team with a good coach. But as we all know, they will rise and fall with their quarterback play. If Teddy Bridgewater never progresses beyond average, than the Vikings will only be average, as well. It really all depends on him. They will have a good defense, though. You would expect the Vikings to generally bring in better players than the Packers considering how high they often draft.

Never satisfied by looking and saying, yeah we are still better than teams below us. I won't be satisfied unless our moves make up a better team compared with those above us that we are fighting to catch and pass.

I agree with you. I expect Bridgewater to be an above average QB, eventually. The best since Favre.

And I figure that might just be enough in the long run.

If they can build a defense the way Zimmer likes and is capable of building, Bridgewater is playing above average football and AP keeps going strong for another year or three, you're facing an awfully strong team.

Of course, that's an awful lot what-ifs, but fact remains, they're laying quite the foundation.
