Our o-line played AMAZING throughout Rodgers injury, I think that gets forgotten a bit.

I'm an OL guy.

Bulaga's a solid guy. So even though I still want Ted Thompson to be looking for someone better in the draft and free agency to start at his position, I have very little problem with overpaying him if that's what it takes to keep him.

IMO you want 7 OL guys that can come in and start several games in a row without the team losing its quarterback, and three guys who are dominant at their position. IMO the Packers still only have one of those dominant guys, though Lindley may be a second in a year or two. Bulaga isn't. The Packer OL still isn't where it needs to be.

But Bulaga when healthy *is* top 7 quality. And he's definitely better than Lang and Baktiari. Pay him.

And keep trying to find and pay one of those dominant guys to replace him or push him to take over for Lang/Baktiari.

But I also don't think they're good enough yet. I've seen too many years of OL mediocrity under the current leadership that I'm going to take such further development as a given.

I'll still be calling for OL early and often during the draft. And I'll still be wishing on a star that Ted Thompson finds a major OL free agent acquisition or two to pull off.

Aaron wasn't forced to run for his life quite so often; Once in a while, Lacy actually found a hole big enough to build up momentum - much like a freight train.

I'm not calling for an O Lineman early in the draft, though. Continuity is important - the biggest factor in the need to retain Bulaga. If Barclay comes back healthy along with Tretter and maybe a couple of other experienced back ups, we have enough to do the job, given all the "skill players" we have.


we need D more (and of course, the dream pick, Melvin Gordon).
