The offensive line. Whether it's coaching or personell GB have consistantly had a brilliant offensive line scheme, there's a reason why Favre hasn't had a serious injury in his career (and it's not his playing hurt lunacy either, I'm talking about a blown out knee or a broken spine). Note Oklahoma's offensive line.
The running game. If they keep Ahman Green around GB will have a solid running game for a long while, this protects Jason White and takes some pressure off him. Note Oklahoma's running game.
I think Clarett will go in the 7th... or at least he will get a trial by some teams. Hell, the Raiders took Bo in the 7th the season after he was "taken" #1 overall.

You make valid points but I can't agree with you. Green Bay is losing a lot of that offensive line in free agency. They can't afford to sign them all this year, i'm sure it will only get worse at time wears on. Their front office (in the past) hasn't shown the intelligence in the draft to cure this problem before it gets out of hand. Jason White's knees aren't going to get any healthier. With the injuries he suffered on them, they're always going to be like that. You have to be a John Elway kind of player with that ability and that kind of leadership to come back from huge knee surgeries and make an NFL career possible. Jason White simply isn't good enough. Its not hard to build an offensive line in college football when you're a school like Oklahoma, the pitch is something like: we'll give you a free ride and you'll compete for a national championship every year you're here. Again, if Jason White goes in the 7th round...I'll be surprised.
