The Green Bay Packers appear to need help desperately on the edge. Through eight games in 2018, the team has 9.5 sacks from their outside linebackers, a pretty abysmal total for a team that runs a base 3-4. Making matters worse is that the two starters on that unit, Clay Matthews and Nick Perry, have combined for just four sacks between them.
It was shocking to see the Packers and new general manager Brian Gutekunst skip over that position group when making changes to the roster this spring. Admittedly, the team’s top two draft picks, cornerbacks Jaire Alexander and Josh Jackson, appear to be at worst solid picks for now.
