1 player Packers would love to steal from each NFC North rival

Packers would love to steal FS Tracy Walker from the Detroit Lions

Of all of the players on the Lions roster that have a lot of intrigue moving forward, Tracy Walker probably wouldn’t be in the Top 10. After all, you could make a case for the Packers wanting the likes of Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Penei Sewell, Aidan Hutchinson, Jack Campbell, and many others.

And yet, if we’re trying not to double up on positions as we steal players for the Packers from NFC North teams, the way that works out for me is ultimately having tackle covered by the Bears with Jones as they don’t have much in the way of skill position talent while also not having a ton of promise when it comes to the defense either. And with the Vikings, well, we’ll cover that shortly.

So instead of thinking more long term, stealing Tracy Walker would be something to help Green Bay in the immediate state of their defense.

Adrian Amos is now gone, or at least it seems that way as he remains a free agent. He struggled this past season with the Packers, but the fact of the matter is that they don’t necessarily have an obvious replacement for him. Guys like Rudy Ford, Tarvarius Moore, Jonathan Owens and rookie Anthony Johnson Jr. just don’t move the needle or aren’t proven in any capacity.

Walker, however, is certainly proven as a solid player on the back end. He’s perfect in the free safety role with excellent coverage skills that have really shined while Detroit, on the whole, has been sorting out the secondary. But adding him to this Packers defense would fill the most obvious roster hole defensively to help make Jordan Love’s runway a bit smoother for landing.
