It was no secret that the Green Bay Packers had serious issues along the offensive line last season.
Particularly early in the year, star quarterback Aaron Rodgers was getting tossed around like a rag doll.
The Packers made it a point to improve their protection of Rodgers and drafted tackle Brian Bulaga in the first round.
Bulaga will come in and likely start right away, hopefully keeping Rodgers off of his behind in the process.
The team has a lot of money invested in Rodgers, who is becoming an elite quarterback, and needs to keep him injury-free and on the field.

The Green Bay Packers 2010 schedule has been released and it sets up well for another postseason berth.
Green Bay begins the season with a tough game at Philadelphia but then the schedule eases up in a hurry.
Very winnable games against the Buffalo Bills, Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, Washington Redskins and Miami Dolphins immediately follow.
Things then get decidedly more difficult with a stretch that begins with a home game against Minnesota and ends with the Vikings on the road. In between, the Packers face the Jets and Cowboys.
Once through that stretch, the schedule eases up through the end of the regular season.
Games at the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons are challenging, but every other game should be a victory.
