Who is OLB opposite of Clay Matthews?

Yeah, Datone Jones was one of the puzzle pieces we absolutely had to have to improve our D. Granted, there were a number of DEs they could have done this with, but I like what I've seen thusfar in reviewing his play at UCLA. A solid choice to move forward with. NT is probably next.

Nick Perry, last years first round draft pick. He had a wrist injury, played a game or two with it and the Packers shut him down.

I can see us adding another to play behind or compete with Perry. Probably tonight. Especially if we trade for an extra R2 or R3. I'm hoping this happens. Cover the hole behind Perry, or that has been Perry to date, and add C and NT.

We could use another to cover Perry's side. Can you imagine if we were to add Damontre Moore? 6-4 250? He's had some off field issues, likes the party and the girls. Who doesn't? The guy is a wrecking crew.

Chase Thomas?

I'm pulling for Jamie Collins out of Southern Miss. 6-3 250. Looks like a real baller.

I'd also add Dezman Moses - he showed something as an UDFA last year. While I worry that Perry is the starting OLB opposite Clay by default (because Perry was a 1st round pick), I certainly hope Packers give Moses an extended chance to see if he can displace Perry.

Also, based on last few years (So'oto, Lattimore, Moses), you can argue there is a decent chance we add another OLB who went undrafted.

Another guy I'm intrigued by is Trevardo Williams. He's just 6'1, 240, which is why many people are questioning whether he's big enough to play the 3-4 OLB position, but if you can manage to get him on the field in certain situations, you get one heck of a pass rusher. He's got the whole package, except for his size.
