After eight consecutive playoff appearances including a Super Bowl Championship following the 2010 season, the Packers have fallen on hard times. Going 7-9 in 2017, the Packers went 6-9-1 last season, their worst since 2008. While there are needs on both sides of the ball, the Packers were 22nd in fewest points allowed at 25 per game. Their pass defense was torched for 30 touchdowns and 100.9 opposing quarterback pass rating. The selection of Rashan Gary with their first pick should provide added passing rush, but he may need a season or two to have a significant, consistent impact.
