2. B.J. Raji is one of the most overrated DL players of the past 30 years. He is remembered for his stupid dance after his pick-6 in the playoffs and for being drafted way too high. That dline was all Ryan Pickett, Cullen Jenkins and Mike Daniels (in later years), Raji did very little and had only 1 good year out of 6.
3. Zadarius is a hybrid DE/LB. Same with Preston Smith. Gary is now a pure DL after doing both DE and LB, 50/50. Kenny Clark is a NT (and infinitely better than Raji ever was). Karl Brooks is a mini-Geno.

I'm not saying he's a slam dunk hire, but this reads as if you're thinking of the Packers D from literally 15 years ago and not present day.

Cullen Jenkins played ages ago.

My point was Raji had one or two good years before he revealed to be a dud. And he was their last decent dline draft pick. Which says something.

Sure, in the past the packers had good dlines.
But in the recent past it’s been their defensive weakness.

Their pass D has been great the last 5-10 years but their run d has been terrible. Their pass rush comes from their linebackers, which have been pretty decent.
