Variable pricing has arrived in Green Bay, while a top linebacker prospect reveals that Packers execs do indeed see his position as a significant need this offseason.
As we reach the end of this week, the Green Bay Packers coaches and personnel department are continuing to prepare for next week's NFL Scouting Combine, which begins on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the team's new position coaches are getting to know their charges, starting the self-scouting process to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the players at their positions.
Meanwhile, Ted Thompson has apparently acknowledged one of the roster's weaknesses to at least one draft prospect. In an interview this week, Alabama linebacker Reggie Ragland gave Packers fans a rare glimpse into candid roster discussions between him and Packers personnel executives.
