Green Bay Packers 2007 Draft Preview
Football Betting Lines
04/04/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - With Ahman Green now a Houston Texan, the Packers have a hole at running back that the franchise has not experienced heading into a season since the pre-Edgar Bennett days. Head coach Mike McCarthy says he's comfortable with Vernand Morency and Noah Herron sharing the ball-carrying load, though if a player like Cal's Marshawn Lynch is available at No. 16, it seems extremely unlikely that Green Bay would pass him up. The Pack played three rookies along the offensive line last year and are in need of depth in that department, a situation that could extend to an upgrade for Bubba Franks at the tight end position. McCarthy's team will head into the 2007 season with a promising nucleus on defense, though another playmaker along the defensive line and in the secondary would be a welcome addition.
