[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 1060113, member: 12283"] At this time of year when we are turning our attention to the draft, I start to think about the shape of the roster beyond this season. Draft picks are typically about needs that will arise 1 or more seasons down the line than they are about filling an immediate hole. And the reality is that the Packers don't have any glaring holes to fill in the starting lineup. They could play tomorrow and be competitive with anyone: [B]QB: [/B]Love [B]RB: [/B]Jacobs [B]WR: [/B]Doubs [B]WR: [/B]Wicks [B]TE: [/B]Kraft [B]WR/TE: [/B]Reed/Musgrave [B]LT: [/B]Walker [B]LG: [/B]Banks [B]C: [/B]Jenkins [B]RG: [/B]Morgan/Rhyan [B]RT: [/B]Tom [B]DE: [/B]Gary [B]1T: [/B]Clark [B]3T: [/B]Wyatt [B]DE: [/B]Van Ness [B]LB: [/B]Walker [B]LB: [/B]Cooper [B]CB: [/B]Nixon [B]CB: [/B]Hobbs [B]NB: [/B]Bullar/Valentine [B]S: [/B]McKinley [B]S: [/B]Williams So the question to me is not so much about filling an immediate hole, but rather preparing for future ones. And that turns my attention to the list of 2026 free agents and has me wondering who they plan to keep and who they will allow to walk. Here's the list, by position: Malik Willis, QB Emanuel Wilson, RB (RFA) Christian Watson, WR Romeo Doubs, WR Bo Melton, WR (RFA) Malik Heath, WR, (RFA) Zach Tom, OT Rasheed Walker, OT Sean Rhyan, G Trey Hill, C Devonte Wyatt, DT* Kingsley Enagbare, DE Brenton Cox, DE (RFA) Arron Mosby, DE (RFA) Quay Walker, LB* Zayne Anderson, S Daniel Whelan, P (RFA) Matthew Orzech, LS *The Packers have until 5/2 to pick up 5th year options. Walker's would be 14.6M and Wyatt's would be 12.9M. Now here are players who could potentially be cap casualties next off-season: -Elgton Jenkins: 24.8M cap hit with 4.8M in dead money-- 20M in cap savings -Kenny Clark: 31.3M cap hit with 17M in dead money-- 14.3M in cap savings -Rashan Gary: 28M cap hit with 17M in dead money-- 11M in cap savings -Josh Jacobs: 14.6M cap hit with 6.3M in dead money-- 8.3M in cap savings -Keisean Nixon: 7.2M cap hit with 2.2M in dead money-- 5M in cap savings Now first off-- this is a huge list. And secondly, what they do in this draft is going to be heavily influenced by their plans for this group. [B]So here's the question-- who stays and who goes? [/B] [/QUOTE]
