Carl Bradford - Has pro read strength, Nick Perry has been a disappointment, they'll give someone snaps along with Peppers opposite Clay Matthews in GB.
How are any of these guys in a lesser position to succeed than Dee Ford? And yes, I think they all have similar abilities.

Bradford's going to play inside for the Packers. Bank on it.
The Packers aren't giving up on Nick Perry. They really like him and believe he's just gotta stay healthy in order to be the player they need him to be.
They might shift Bradford outside occasionally, but his prime job is going to be blitzing from the inside and covering sweeps, offtackle runs, and passes out into the flat. He's not just going to be some useless Mike backer like Joe Mays or Akeem Jordan.
That's the kind of guy I really wanted us to draft, whether that was Kyle Van Noy or Carl Bradford. Somebody who can play both inside and out depending on the situation.
