If either or better yet, both are an upgrade I would sign them. Mainly because we have limited time with A Rod. The ILBs we have now, with the possible exception of Ryan, are easily replaced at their level of play.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

I'm not saying Carl is the answer either, I just don't sense Dansby is that much better, especially in a role the Packers need. Their issue is their ILBs can't cover. I don't see how a 35 year old helps that.

He is one interception from being the fifth linebacker in NFL history to have 40 sacks and 20 interceptions, and with one more interception return for a touchdown, he would become the all-time leader for linebackers.

Dansby's play slipped in 2015, but he's still a quality starter. He graded out as Pro Football Focus' No. 3 inside linebacker in coverage

NOTE: When they say his play slipped in 2015:

In last season's debacle, he led the team in tackles, tackles for loss, interceptions and defensive touchdowns.

Based on his coverage skills, he would seem to be a good fit for a cover ILB. As long as he still has something left in the tank and isn't too expensive.

What does signing Dansby do to the possible progressions of Barrington and Ryan at ILB?

He does bring the coverage ability to the position. I wouldn't be against the signing, if for the right price. I also wouldn't want this to stop the progression of our young players at the position.

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left
