The Packers are looking for players to help fill specific needs along the front 7. This defensive line class may not be as talked about as the receivers or the offensive linemen, but there are great prospects to help build rosters and fill needs. This makes a huge difference especially when the starters are potentially set for a few years. The scouting becomes more specific, and they know exactly what to look for in the prospects. When the Packers select a defensive linemen it will be with a specific purpose, and I would look for them to help contribute immediately. Here is how the watch list players did at the combine, and a few other names that made the radar as well.
