No roster looks the same year after year. The turnover in the NFL is so significant that, after a few months of the offseason, it’s important to look back and digest everything the Green Bay Packers have done.

So, let’s grade the Packers’ roster, position by position.

Quarterbacks: A-

This comes down to what the Packers have as a starter, and Jordan Love is a high-level one. The minus here goes because, even though Tyrod Taylor is a viable backup, he’s certainly not as talented as Malik Willis. But as long as Love is healthy, the offense will be in a good spot.

---

Running backs: B-

The depth and long-term situation are concerns here, because Josh Jacobs is starting to get older and didn’t play as well in 2025 as he had in 2024. But Jacobs is still a solid starter. The big problem is there’s not much beyond him. The Packers allowed Emanuel Wilson to walk in free agency, and Chris Brooks would ideally be just the RB3. For that to happen, MarShawn Lloyd will have to stay healthy — and that’s a big if.

---

Wide receivers: B+

The WR room lost Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks, adding Skyy Moore and some bottom-of-the-roster pieces like J. Michael Sturdivant and Brenden Rice. The talent net is negative, without a doubt. That being said, the Packers are banking on development and addition by subtraction. There will inevitably be more snaps and targets for Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, and Matthew Golden, the three most talented and efficient players with the ball in their hands. Green Bay decided to change its approach after years spreading the ball around, and it’s hard to blame the front office for this decision.

---

Tight ends: B-

Tucker Kraft is a fantastic tight end and a real rising star in the NFL. But there’s not much besides him. Luke Musgrave hasn’t established himself, and is not a good enough receiver to justify snaps with his issues as a blocker. Josh Whyle is a decent h-back, but probably not more than a TE3 or 4. Without John FitzPatrick, who’s unsigned after tearing his Achilles, the Packers don’t have a classic Y-tight end option.

---

Offensive line: B-

The group lost Rasheed Walker and Elgton Jenkins, and the only addition was fifth-round rookie center Jager Burton. The Packers are once again banking on development — here, from Jordan Morgan and Anthony Belton. But it feels like B- is even a little bit rich considering what the unit showed in 2025.

---

Defensive line: C+

This is the weakest group on the roster from a long-term perspective, because it lost Kenny Clark, TJ Slaton, and Colby Wooden over the past two offseasons. This year, the Packers added Javon Hargrave in free agency and Chris McClellan in the draft, but one is a little past his prime and the other is a third-round rookie. Maybe Devonte Wyatt steps up and the bets work, but there are too many ifs involved.

---

Edge defender: B

The only reason for the B here is Micah Parsons, one of the best and most impactful defensive players in the entire NFL. Beyond him, and while he’s out to start the regular season, the situation is more fragile. Lukas Van Ness showed some signs of improvement last year, but it was far from enough to justify his draft status. And the rest of the depth has a lot of mid-round picks (or later) trying to establish themselves as rotational pieces. Hopefully for the Packers, Barryn Sorrell, Collin Oliver, and Dani Dennis-Sutton reach that level.

---

Linebackers: B-

The team lost Quay Walker but traded for Zaire Franklin, so it’s essentially a wash in terms of on-field production. Edgerrin Cooper is the big point here. If he finally takes the leap after a fantastic rookie season and a small step back in 2025, the linebacker position will be in a good place.

---

Cornerbacks: C

The Packers made some smart investments in this position, like signing Benjamin St-Juste to a mid-level deal in free agency. But the big bet is Brandon Cisse, who’s still a young piece. It might take some time for him to figure it out, so the group is still weak until proven otherwise. Last year, the CB position probably cost the Packers their season.

---

Safeties: A

This is by far the best room on the entire roster — and Brian Gutekunst built it in one offseason. In 2024, the Packers signed Xavier McKinney in free agency, then drafted Evan Williams and Javon Bullard. All of them have All-Pro potential, and McKinney has already realized it.

---

Special teams: B

The Packers cut Brandon McManus and drafted Trey Smack. And with rookie kickers, who knows. Otherwise, Daniel Whelan is a really good punter and Matthew Orzech is an average long snapper.
