Biggest remaining needs for each NFC North team

Green Bay Packers – Interior O-line depth

First and foremost, Aaron Rodgers is back. Everything else pales in comparison to the All-World QB. Jordy Nelson is gone, but they still have weapons at wide receiver and have added Jimmy Graham at tight end, who will give them another dimension and be a goal-line beast once again.

I also like what they have added at the running back position with Jamaal Williams and Aaron Jones in last year’s draft, to make Ty Montgomery more of a receiving threat, who will line up in the slot quite a bit as well. Defensively, they have remade their D-line and secondary in recent years, so we will see how that pans out next season.

Therefore, I want to focus more on the offensive line for this team. Green Bay have an excellent duo of offensive tackles and they have done a good job replacing their interior guys. So the starting front looks more than solid, but I’m concerned with the depth behind it. The Packers selected Washington State’s Cole Madison with the first pick in the fifth round of the draft, who I like as a pass-protecting guard, but outside of him, these are the top three interior guys they could carry on gameday – Day Dillon, Patrick Lucas and Kofi Amichia.

Lucas is the only one to ever start an NFL game, when he was forced into the lineup as a rookie last season. If all five guys stay healthy, they should be able to keep Aaron Rodgers clean, but if one of them goes down with an injury, I’m concerned for the man at the helm for them once again.
