Which Packers Players on Defense Are Worth Keeping in 2016? | Ticket King Green Bay

A few days ago I did a "take em or trash em" for the Packers offense. We feel that it's time to do one for the Green Bay Packers defensive roster. Will our picks line up with yours? 

Defensive Line

Letroy Guion- I have never understood this signing. Trash em.

Datone Jones- The 2013 first round draft choice really took major steps forward in 2013. Take em.

Mike Pennel- This young former un-drafted free agent is a nice big body, which are not easy to find. Take em.

B.J. Raji- 2015 B.J. Raji looked like 2010 B.J. Raji. Take em.

Linebackers

Jayrone Elliot- This is another one of Ted Thompson's former un-drafted gems. A good young rush linebacker. Take em.

Clay Matthews- Well duh. Take em.

Andy Mulumba- An okay bench player. Packers can do better though. Trash em.

Mike Neal- Did pretty decent in 2015 and appears to have put his past problems behind him. Take em.

Nate Palmer- Packers can do a lot better at backup linebacker. Trash em.

Julius Peppers- Did well the short time he was in Green Bay. However he is getting up there in years and the Packers do not cater to old guys so why start now. Trash em.

Nick Perry- The former first round draft choice has turned into a nice rotational pass rusher at outside linebacker and should come cheap. Take em.

Jake Ryan- The Packers have found their new thumper at inside linebacker. Take em.

Joe Thomas- A really good coverage linebacker. Take em.

Cornerbacks

Casey Hayward- A good player, and did well this year following two years of injuries, but will cost too much and the Packers don't need to pay him. Trash em.

Damarious Randall- The 2015 1^st round draft choice is an NFL defensive rookie of the year candidate and did extremely well. Take em.

Quinten Rollins- The 2015 second round draft choice did extremely well, just like Rollins. Take em.

Sam Shields- Has turned into the Packers ace cover corner and is one of the best in the league. Take em.

Daniel Roberston- Just a roster fill. Trash em.

Demtri Goodson- A special teams player and is turning into the new Jarrett Bush. Take em.

LaDarius Gunter- Did well when forced into the lineup late in the season. Good players this deep in the depth chart are hard to find. Take em.

Safety

Micah Hyde- This man's value to the Packers is phenomenal and what he is asked to do the dirty work. He is their tight end coverage man, their best tackler in the secondary, and a standout punt returner. Take em, and even overpay him a little if you have to next off season when his contract extension talks begin. 

Ha-Ha Clinton Dix- Becoming one of the harder hitting players in the league. Take em.

Morgan Burnett- A good, solid safety. Will never be the best, but I am okay with that. Take em.
