Ted might actually spend a high pick on an offensive lineman

I am not going to sit here and lie, I have never seen Idaho G Mike Iupati play, and if things stay as they are, no one will see him in a Packers uniform anytime soon. LG was horrible for the Packers this season, Daryn College was atrocious, finishing worst on the team in pressures allowed (40.5) and sacks (7.5), not to mention his hold in the riveting but ultimately heart-breaking loss to the Cardinals in the playoffs. The offensive line needs to be addressed, and I am glad that Ted Thompson seems to be making the effort to improve the talent level of the group. Perhaps Thompson could use a high(er) draft pick on an offensive line for a talent infusion, as no impact lineman are set to become free agents. Chad Clifton and Mark Tauscher will probably be brought back for another go-around, Scott Wells solidified the center position for the Pack, and Josh Sitton has been the lone Thompson draft pick along the line to really solidify himself as a bona-fide starter in the NFL. Also nice to see the Packers looking to improve the running backs and the linebackers. I believe that the Packers are one dynamic receiver out of the back field away from being an unstoppable offense from a skill position standpoint.
