2. Blake Martinez

During the fourth round of the draft back in 2016, there was no way for Green Bay to know that Blake Martinez would turn out to be a reliable starter, as the linebacker has made quite the impact over the last four seasons.

Just how great has Martinez been for the Packers on the defensive side of the football? When taking into consideration that Martinez has managed to start every game for Green Bay dating back to 2017 shows the kind of impact the linebacker has been able to make.

Knowing the Packers, the team will do whatever it takes to convince Martinez to return for a fifth season with the team, but since his stock has clearly been on the rise over the last four years, keeping him around is going to be easier said than done.

Depending on what kind of money Green Bay would be willing to offer Martinez, Philadelphia could gain an advantage if they were open to offering more to help fill their need at linebacker.

As bad as it sounds, it’s been no secret that linebacker has been one of the weaker positions for the Eagles over the years, but the addition of someone like Martinez seems like it could provide the necessary boost to the unit.
