Given the need to allow the WR room additions to learn the playbook, improve technique and understand what Rodgers wants, it seems like the offense needs to get passing game production out of RBs, TEs and slot WRs. Do you envision the Packers to become more of a running offense initially in 2022?
I envision LaFleur putting the ball into Aaron Jones' and AJ Dillon's hands an awful lot. Those two will be key to moving chains and crossing goal lines, however they get the ball.

Good morning, Mike. Now that everyone has caught their breath after the excitement of the draft, can you run us through what happens for all these draft picks after their names are called? When do they report to the team? Is there a staff member in charge of on-boarding the new rookies? Do they get playbooks right away? Does anyone help them with housing? Is it different for the UFAs? Thanks for all you do!
All the rookies – draft picks, UDFAs, tryout players – will report for rookie minicamp on Thursday, and they'll get an introduction to the playbook. For the most part, they'll stay in a hotel out near the airport with a shuttle service bringing them back and forth to Lambeau. Those with roster spots will be incorporated into the offseason program with the veterans as the month progresses, with OTAs starting in a few weeks. The rookies' exposure to the playbook will grow accordingly. There are team resources to help secure housing for those who want it right away. Others will wait and stay at the hotel until they make the team.

Seems like with Allen Lazard, Randall Cobb, Rodgers, Watkins, Watson, and Romeo Doubs it will be hard for anyone else to make this team at WR as I don't think they will keep more than six active roster WRs.
I'm not trying to be crass regarding those whose dreams might be shattered over the next few months, but from the team's perspective, if good players have to be cut, so be it. It beats the alternative.

While I thought this was a great draft, it is noticeable that we didn't draft any corners or (true) safeties and we only added one of each from the UDFAs. Will we look back at this in a few years with regret or is this just a reflection of how good our DBs are right now?
The assumption isn't that the Packers are satisfied, but that they're going to find out what they really have with some of these young prospects who have been here. At corner, that means Shemar Jean-Charles and Kabion Ento. At safety, that's Vernon Scott, Innis Gaines and Shawn Davis. Based on how the draft fell, their opportunity is massive right now.
Brian from Maple Grove, MN
Based on the offseason thus far, it seems like the Packers aggressively pursued personnel to upgrade a run defense that gave up 4.7 YPC and special teams with the one of the best coaches in the business. Were there other areas on the team that were problematic I may have missed (e.g. penalties, drops, etc.)?
It would have been problematic had they not rebuilt their depth on the offensive line. Before the draft, they would've been in no position to withstand the injuries that have struck that unit in recent years.

Hello Insiders, can we get a picture of either Wes or Spoff standing next to Packers rookie free agent Caleb Jones?
Something tells me neither one of us will have a lunch.
Scott from West Richland, WA
Hey II, lots of talk about getting the young receivers up to speed for their transition to the NFL level. Rasul, Stokes and especially Jaire Alexander will certainly give them all they can handle over the summer. My question is how far back do we have to go to get to this level of DB play? '09 with Harris and Woodson, Tramon, and Nick Collins at safety?
I mentioned on a recent "Unscripted" that in my mind the Packers' current nickel secondary (Alexander, Eric Stokes, Rasul Douglas, Adrian Amos, Savage) is the strongest five since the '09 group you mentioned, which had Bigby as the fifth.
