Packers Defensive Line Entering Big Contract Year
Packers defensive linemen Neal, Wilson, and Pickett are all set to become free agents in 2014.

Looking Back At The 2010 Draft
Defensive lineman C.J. Wilson was a steal in the seventh round of the draft
They (whoever “they” are) say it takes three years to fairly judge an NFL draft. By that way of thinking, it’s now OK to look back and judge the class of 2010. GM Ted Thompson selected seven players that April. Nearly three years later, all seven remain with the Packers – each enjoying varying degrees...

Packers CJ Wilson: 2012 Player Evaluation and Report Card
1) Introduction: CJ Wilson has quietly turned into a solid run-stuffing 3-4 DE after being drafted in the 7th round in 2010. In 2011 Wilson and Jarius Wynn where thrust into the spotlight after Mike Neal landed on IR and Wilson couldn’t produce as a full time starter. Hopefully as part of a defensive line rotation and spot duty on running plays Wilson could be more productive...

Packers DE C.J. Wilson Beats Out Jerel Worthy For Starting Job
C.J. Wilson has beaten out rookie Jerel Worthy as the Green Bay Packers' starting right end in their 3-4 base defense.
The Packers installed Wilson ahead of Worthy, a second-round draft choice, at the start of their off-season program and never found a reason to change.
"C.J.'s there," said Mike Trgovac, who coaches the defensive line. "C.J.'s been...

Packers Starters Most Likely to Lose Their Spots
Most of the offseason chatter about Packers starters getting benched has centered on A.J. Hawk being replaced by D.J. Smith. That very well might happen, but what about other starters that could find themselves on the bench once the season starts?
Erik Walden
According to Pro Football Focus (PFF), Walden totaled just three sacks, 14 QB hits and 22 QB hurries in 15 starts. From week...
Packers Draft Picks Compared to their Current Players

D-line Still Comes Up Short In Base
Rookie Worthy is another undersized defensive end
Commissioner Roger Goodell suspended Anthony Hargrove for 8 games last week for his part in the Saints bounty scandal, and just like that the Packers are in danger of lacking sufficient depth on the defensive line for the second year in a row. As of now, Ryan Pickett, B.J. Raji and second-round pick Jerel Worthy figure to be the starters...
2012 NFL team needs - Green Bay Packers

After all, Aaron Rodgers was MVP of the league. He was in complete control of just about every game. He owned the NFL. The Packers had home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, having gone 15-1.
