Well Purcell with be a backup 1T but Bradford, I'm not sure which LB position he's best suited for. Based on his speed, I'd guess the MIKE or WILL.

I like Purcell but he is not a two-gapper. Now that we will switch to 1-gap, I think Purcell has an opportunity to play better.
Sometimes a guy can be 'clueless', in one place, but great elsewhere. Its about the system sometimes. He is NOT a 2-gap,read and react type guy (think Vince Wolfolk), but as a 1 gap penetrator type- it better suits his game. We still need to draft competition for him Day 3 of draft, but Im thinking this is the spirit behind the signing.

A LOT of Packer fans said this guy was good last year when we signed him. He even has some pass rush ability, played a lot of ILB and SAM.. 1 year tender not bad idea it now seems.

The one thing Purcell IS good at is penetrating a gap and getting into the backfield. He was esp. good in short yardage situations. This defense may give him a chance.
