Another fantastic value pick for the Pack to rebuild their linebacking corps.  Hodge, quite simply, is a playmaking machine from sideline to sideline.  The only reason he lasted this long in the draft is because of his size (6 foot, 231 lbs.).  Hodge will make the teams that passed on him look bad, as he is a monster on the field no matter what the measureables say.

At Iowa the last three seasons (37 starts), Hodge has made 415 tackles, 26 tackles for loss, 6 sacks and broke up 7 passes.  Between AJ Hawk and Hodge, the Packers will be strong at LB for years.
