player. 49. <p>Green Packers star edge-rusher Clay Matthews III is doing alright at ILB. The run defense is improving but inside isn’t where Matthews is at his best. Matthews made his name in the NFL as one of the premier edge-rushers in the game.</p>
<p>He needs to go back so the Packers need to find themselves a natural ILB. And Alabama inside linebacker Reggie Ragland is the best player on the board here at No. 27. This make the Packers better against the run and at getting after the passer.</p>
<p>Ragland led the defense that held mercurial LSU RB Leonard Fournette to just 31 yards on 16 carries. Fournette averaged darn-near 200 yards a game until he met Alabama. That’s the value Ragland brings to a team’s run defense.</p>
<p>But his greatest value to the Packers would be sending to Matthews to go back to the edge. The Packers defense would be stingy as ever with the offense getting healthy next year. That puts the Packers in line for another championship run.</p>. ILB. Alabama. Reggie Ragland. 27
