McGinn: Packers' defense needs more speed
Snip=
The Packers wanted to draft speedy, somewhat undersized inside linebackers C.J. Mosley and Ryan Shazier in 2014. When both were taken a few picks before Green Bay’s 21st selection, the choice was safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix.
Thus, Green Bay has tried to make do by adding Thomas (4.71) as an undrafted rookie in 2014, Ryan (4.65) in the fourth round in 2015 and Martinez (4.67) in the fourth round last year.
In a traditional sense, Ryan and Martinez might be better equipped than Jones and Campbell to stop the run for a 3-4 team. In reality, the Packers are a base 4-2 team, and with their short arms and ordinary speed neither player is anything special against run or pass.
