For some teams, Draft Day 2009 is a chance to fill in holes or replace parts in a unit that already contains the formula for success. For others, that day is a chance to find new, young talent that will help rebuild their team from the ground up. Here's a look, in my opinion, of how the teams of the NFC North can best utilize this draft:

Detroit Lions: The Lions cleaned house after their dismal 2009 season, firing both general manager Matt Millen and head coach Rod Marinelli. Now they're looking to fix the problems on the field. What helps Detroit the most? At this point, anything. They desperately need a great leader in the form of a quarterback, and will either gamble and try to pull another Matt Ryan-type out of the draft, such as Matthew Stafford or Mark Sanchez. If the Lions decide against a quarterback they will play it safe and take a cheaper approach by possibly selecting an offensive lineman like Baylor's OT Jason Smith. Detroit has a second choice with the 20^th overall pick in the first round, and will most likely select the best overall prospect remaining at the draft.

Green Bay Packers: The Packers knew that Aaron Rodgers' first year would be a tough one, but they didn't realize how much so. Most of the Packers losses came not from the inexperience under center, but the aging, injured defense. Green Bay, like Seattle, has quite an offensive arsenal at their disposal, so they will likely be looking for a strong defensive player, who can play well under the new 3-4 scheme. Much of the damage they suffered last year was due to successive injuries in their defensive backfield, but even so, they will probably look to defensive ends such as Texas' Brian Orakpo or Penn State's Aaron Maybin to step in and fill some holes.

Chicago Bears: For a second straight season, it seemed like the Bears could not catch a lucky break. Kyle Orton's mid-season injury coupled with a rash of injuries in their secondary probably cost them a shot at the playoffs. The Bears, when healthy, have one of the best defenses seen in recent years. While it likely will not be up to the caliber of the 2005 Bears Super Bowl team, it makes sense for them to replenish themselves on the offensive side of the ball. Chicago found a blessing in Matt Forte last season, and Orton has proved to a solid quarterback who's best asset is his decision-making. Now, with their most recent acquisition of Jay Cutler, almost all of their holes on offense have been filled. Their largest need remaining is an offensive lineman; however, one of the picks they sacrificed to obtain Cutler was this year's first-round pick. While underrated linemen can be difficult to find later in the draft, they are there (i.e. Tony Ugoh for the Indianapolis Colts), and the Bears will probably be relying on this to help fill their few remaining offensive holes.

Minnesota Vikings: One word: Quarterback. Brad Childress has tried for two years now to groom Tarvaris Jackson as the starting QB and it is simply not working. Gus Frerotte is not a legitimate answer for the position, either. If this team has to reach and take Ball State's Nate Davis or even Kansas State's Josh Freeman, they need to take a shot. If there is no legitimate QB to reach for when the Vikings are on the clock, then they should look at strengthening their secondary. Their pass defense has come a long way in the last year, with recent additions such as Cedric Griffin to assist, but their pass defense still lags way behind their run defense. Vontae Davis of Illinois is more than likely their best shot at a decent cornerback out of this years draft class.
