29. Green Bay Packers

49. Their loss to the Falcons was another reminder that the Green Bay Packers have become a one-man team for the most part with Aaron Rodgers. Unless he performs like a superstar every week, it’s tough for them to win. Defensively they just haven’t been the same since their Super Bowl victory seven years ago. This is something GM Ted Thompson has tried very hard to fix over that span. <p>If he’s getting serious, then the time is right to start adding dynamic players. A young edge rusher will certainly help. Takkarist McKinley broke out in a big way for UCLA this past season. Good-sized with quickness and explosion, he can attack the backfield and make plays to frustrate the offense in either run or passing situations. His athleticism should make a transition to outside linebacker easy.</p>. OLB. UCLA. Takkarist McKinley . 29. player
