Green Bay Packers 2008 Draft Preview
The Packers' most-scrutinized pick of the 2008 Draft won't come in the first round, as the potential backup to quarterback Aaron Rodgers figures to be tabbed no earlier than the third. It is unlikely that the team would undermine Rodgers' confidence by drafting a QB any earlier, and it remains likely that the club will bring in a veteran arm (Byron Leftwich? Daunte Culpepper? Former Mike McCarthy pupil Aaron Brooks?) to be the short- term Plan B. Instead, at least one of Green Bay's three first-day picks should be a cornerback, as Charles Woodson (31 years old) and Al Harris (33) can't be expected to play at an elite level much longer. Defensive line help also figures to be a priority after the team dealt Corey Williams to the Browns, and a tight end to back Donald Lee would also be helpful to the Pack.
