Five New Packer Relics

The draft starts on Thursday and so naturally my thoughts turn to the Packers.  Here are some recent Packers pickups.

When I mention Randall Cobb, I'm sure pretty much everyone thinks of this:



But beyond his very quick start, Randall had a hard time competing for passes with Greg Jennings, Jermichael Finley, and Jordy Nelson on the same roster.  With Donald Driver fading in the offense, one injury could put Cobb into the spotlight.

The Packers running back situation is pretty up in the air with Ryan Grant possibly signing with another team...such as the Patriots.  Alex Green will be coming back ACL surgery but the conventional wisdom seems to be that he isn't the long term solution for the running game and that the Packers should draft a running back in the draft.

D.J. Williams isn't a Packer any longer 

Robert Ferguson was released from the Packers after the 2006 season and I had no idea that he was still playing football in the UFL for the Omaha Nighthawks.

Ryan Taylor is fourth on the tight end depth chart behind Jermichael Finley, Tom Crabtree, and Andrew Quarless.  Last season he had one reception and that one reception was for a touchdown against the Raiders.

Along with Ryan Taylor, D.J. Williams was another tight end the Packers drafted in 2011.
