The Strengths, Weaknesses and Needs of Teams Picking 25-28 in the 2013 NFL Draft (Part 7 of 8)

25.) Greenbay Packers
Strengths- Pass game, with Aaron Rodgers this team will always have a strong passing game.

Weaknesses- run game, this teams run game has not been that great in a while, in order to help Rodgers stay upright they should try and build a strong run game.  With Woodson gone in the secondary that will leave a hole as well, that needs to be fixed.

Needs- Running back and defensive backs.

26.) Seattle Seahawks (This is actually the Vikings pick via trade but again I want to write about them).

Strengths- Offense, this team is loaded with talent and very good young quarterback with a road playoff win under his belt.  The secondary is also phenomenal, very physical and great ball skills.

Weaknesses- Consistency, while this team played a high level they had some issues in the playoffs when it came to the deep ball (See the highlights of Matt Ryan burning them).  They need to also talk less, I think they are letting all the hype get to their heads at times.


Needs- Backup quarterback, Brady Quinn is not a great backup, especially in a system that features the read option...

27.)  Houston Texans

Strengths- Offense, their pass game was great last year as was their running game, once both get going well they get rolling and it is hard to stop them.

Weaknesses- Consistency, they fell off at the end of last season and struggled at times (The shoot out Jaguars game is a great example).  They struggled in the playoffs as well, this team needs to work harder.

Needs- Defense, they need to fix this, I saw a few games where they were just awful on this side of the ball.

28.) Denver Broncos

Strengths-  I'd say this whole team is very strong, hard to say anything bad about it, and now with the addition of Wes Welker this team will only be better.

Weaknesses- Payton Manning's playoffs play, the game against the Ravens says it all, the infamous throw across the body into a Raven's hands.  His playoff decision making has never been that great, he needs to improve on that.

Needs-  Another running back to help out grind out the tough yards and help keep their defense on the sideline.
