Blue 58 - A Packers Podcast

The Packers’ tight ends aren’t all that exciting, but they might still be good enough to get the job done in Matt LaFleur’s offense. Plus, there are enough prospects for development that this position group could still be a net positive in 2022.

De’Vondre Campbell revolutionized the Packers’ linebacker room last year, and this season Quay Walker gives them the best athlete they’ve had at the position in a long time.

It’s time to talk about one of the most-discussed positions on the Packers’ roster: wide receiver. This unit is almost completely different from 2021, while still carrying quite a few familiar faces.

The Packers have a strong running back group again this year, but the question of how they’ll be used will define their season. Who will end up being the top dog? And will one of them almost end up being more of a receiver?

We’re flipping over to defense for our next position preview for a look at edge rushers. Za’Darius Smith is gone, but Rashan Gary and Preston Smith are a solid 1-2 punch. But who can we count on beyond that?

The question at quarterback is the same for the Packers this year as it’s been for the last few: can Aaron Rodgers get them to the Super Bowl, and will we see some of the promise that made Jordan Love a first round pick in 2020?

Brian Gutekunst and Matt LaFleur are entering their fourth season together. Things have been pretty good so far, but how do they stack up with some of their predecessors  — and how do we evaluate what comes next?

The Packers have one more OTA practice to go and then the offseason is all done. But that doesn’t mean the Packers are done building their roster. I have three free agents at one position that I think are at least worth considering.

The Packers are set at a lot of positions, but, as everyone knows, wide receiver is basically wide open. While it’s certainly not great to feel unsettled at a position, I think there’s some upside, too.

The Packers are having minicamp, which is a good opportunity to pick up on a few storylines we mentioned previously. But beyond that, there’s a question we should talk about: what if the Packers learned the wrong lessons from 2021?

If you squint you can see something resembling football in Green Bay this week. I have a few takes on OTAs and a few less-discussed players we should talk about heading into the summer.

Who will step up as the Packers’ top receiver? We’ve talked about explosive plays, but we haven’t touched on who will be the main man in the Packers’ passing attack. So let’s try to figure that out.

The Packers have taken care of their best defensive back, signing Jaire Alexander to a four-year extension. We’ll break down the details then talk about another move the Packers made in the secondary. Then, it’s time to restart our review of the 2021 Packers season.

With the NFL Draft done and undrafted free agency all but over, the Packers roster is probably set, barring an unexpected signing. That means we can take a crack at predicting who the Packers will have on their 53-man roster, though there might be a few surprises yet to come.

The Draft is done, but we’ve still got an undrafted free agent crop to break down. The Packers added 14 of them this year, and I think at least two have a real shot at making the roster.

Brian Gutekunst once again does it his own way — albeit exactly in the way we’ve come to expect. Nope, no wide receiver so far, but the Packers’ GM stuck to his tendencies and drafted big athletes early.

Have you ever seen a movie that’s pretty good, but leaves you wanting more? That’s the Packers’ defensive line. It’s not a screaming need, but the Packers need more from it.

The Packers need offensive line help, but what kind of help should they be looking for? That’s a more complicated question than you might think, especially with how the Packers build their offensive line.

Safety is a not-so-sneaky sneaky need for the 2022 Packers. Where and how do they address that in the draft?
