Someone brought this up in the Main Forum but this thing between Jermichael Finley and Aaron Rodgers may very well turn out to be unfixable. I don't know exactly what got them to the point where Finley's agent blastd Rodgers publicly, which forced Finley himself to apologize and tell Rodgers that his agent's opinion doesn't represent how he thinks. Since then, the chemistry between the two is not there whatsoever. Thing is the Packers have been very active in acquiring Tight Ends they view to be talented. They don't use the tight end any more than anyone else, but for the last two years they've kept FIVE on roster. That's how much they like Tom Crabtree (just scored a long TD last night), D.J. Williams, Andrew Quarless and Ryan Taylor.
Aaron Rodgers has admitted in the past that coming out of college he was too ****y and needed to "grow up" and every now and then you can see some of that coming out of him again, even despite his maturation. Jermichael Finley is certainly a guy that'll have teammates saying "That's just Jermichael being Jermichael". But he doesn't seem like a bad guy and I don't know if Ryan has the kind of personality that would butt heads with Jermichael because Ryan is a lot more unassuming than Aaron, a lot less cynical.
I'm one of the few that still has hope for Egnew but if you get the opportunity to pick up a Jermichael Finley because he's butting heads too much with his QB and the team decides that with all those other TEs in the hopper they can move on, that may be a quality move.
And then of course you can draft some help at receiver.
But this draft does need to see us add some help in the secondary and at defensive end. The defensive end class is too good to ignore, IMO. Even taking a look at guys like Quanterus Smith and Walter Stewart, both of whom are running as under-radar as Cornellius Carridine was prior to Brandon Jenkins' injury, it's clear this group of edge rushers has some talent and the Dolphins should be eager to add some of it.
