Running back could be something to watch as well. There is one player that has proven himself and it was basically over 10-12 games. Is Brandon Jackson the player that tore up the Lions' defense? Can Noah Herron rebound from a serious injury? Will Deshawn Wynn make it past the first week of camp? Will he even make it to camp? Finally is Ryan Grant the real deal?

I may be in the minority, but I think Tramon Williams will be the #3 CB when the season starts. Patrick Lee will be #4 and Blackmon #5 unless he is hurt. Williams showed a lot of promise and potential IMO.
Blackmon is a good corner when he's healthy IMO. Hopefully his luck changes. People said before the draft we were so thin at Corner and we needed an heir to the starters but I think we already had the 2 future starters in Williams and Blackmon. I think Lee was just insurance in case Blackmon won't EVER be able to shake the injury big. |

Tramon is decent, but he's not a future starter. Heck, I'll be thrilled if I'm proven wrong, but I think he has little upside. |

GD, we could have a drinking game with how many times you say, "IMO." As for Wynn, why is everyone so down on him? Have we forgotten what he did before he was injured? |

Yeah, you don't need to put "IMO" because it's already obvious that it's your opinion. |

Maybe obvious to you, but as a 8 year member here on the board trust me not everyone makes that conclusion. IMO, he can use IMO as much as he wants.  |

GD, you can do whatever you want. Correcting? Nah. I was just informing my friends. Do what you will. That's why I love America. |

I know, I was kidding. I should have put one of the little smiley faces. Wait, do I need to actually put one of those or can you all just assume I'm kidding unless I indicate otherwise? |

FWIW I believe that CB is a position to watch this season, as I think it will be Al Harris' last as a Packer. He just got chewed up and spat out by Owens and Burress last season, and I feel it will only be worse this season, which saddens me because Harris is one of my favorite players. This season will go a long way in determining who next years starter will be, whether it's Williams, Blackmon, or Lee (my money is on Blackmon). |

I agree with you, MNP. If Blackmon can shake this injury bug, the sky's the limit with him. Al is one of my favorites, too, look at my avatar. Al and Chuck are a sweet CB combo. I like what I hear from Pat Lee, he could be a good starter one day, too. |

I think (instead of IMO) that if we are looking for a blocking TE, the T we drafted from Louisville could do that role. He has played TE in his past - successfully. Hayos is a turtle.
I agree that if Blackmon can shake the injury bug, he could be a starter. But, I think we will find Lee a better option than Williams. |

"cornerback Will Blackmon (foot)... unlikely to participate because of (his) injuries."

Pretty sure it's standard procedure to withold those who finished last season injured from the OTA's until medically cleared. Will Blackmon (foot), tight end Tory Humphrey (ankle), linebacker Abdul Hodge (knee) and defensive tackle Johnny Jolly (shoulder) were all out last year. That said, not holding my breath on Blackmon. Sure hope the guy can stay off the shelf....he got skills. |
