Ok, post draft:
5: The position is strong in regards to both starters and depth
4: The position is set, but the starter(s) is/are a little underwhelming, or the depth isn't ideal
3: The position is serviceable, but ideally the starter(s) and/or the depth would be replaced.
2: The starter(s) and/or depth is going to be a problem over the course of the season.
1: It's a disaster area.
Quarterback-- 4: Until Love has a chance to prove that the regression in 2024 was more about injury than anything else, this remains a 4 rather than a 5. That said, the QB2 is strong (for now) in Willis and nothing else much matters at this position.
Running Back-- 5: Jacobs is a high end starter and there are three guys who have proven capable pushing for roster spots in Lloyd, Wilson, and Brooks. They also brought in two interesting, talented players as UDFA to fill out the practice squad.
Tight End-- 4: Kraft is an exciting, emerging TE1. There's a chance that this position proves to be a 5 if Musgrave starts to make good on his promise this season, but it remains to be seen if that will happen. They do have a nice competition going on for the blocking role between John Fitzpatrick and Ben Sims.
Wide Receiver-- 4: The absence of an established "go-to" receiver keeps this from being a 5, but the Packers have a great mix of skill-sets and excellent depth.
Offensive Line-- 5: The Packers' OL was good last year. Then they replaced far and away their worst starter with a strong FA. Plus they are bolstering their two weakest spots, LT and RG, with strong competition.
Defensive Tackle-- 3: Clark should be capable as the lead 1T, but the depth behind him is completely unproven plus he's aging. It's time for Wyatt is pay off as the starting 3T, but we haven't seen him do that yet. Karl Brooks and Colby Wooden also failed to show serious progress behind him.
Defensive End-- 4: The Packers have capable, base defense starters in Rashan Gary and LVN, plus solid rotators in Cox and Enagbare, plus interesting youth in Sorrell and Oliver. What they lack is a dominant star, which keeps this a 4.
Linebacker-- 4: Part of me wanted to rate this a 5 based on how Walker came on last season and how good Cooper looked as a rookie, but I think it's more reasonable to wait and see if those flashes were sustainable. I think McDuffie is a great LB3 and the depth is interesting.
Cornerback-- 3: Even if Alexander is gone, the top 3 guys are set. The problem is that behind them there is virutally nothing that anyone should feel comfortable with. It's also unclear whether Alexander will actually be back. Of course, if he is there is no good reason to trust his durability.
Safety-- 5: The Packers have it all at safety. McKinney is an elite starter, Williams is a super promising sidekick, Bullard is a versatile slot defender, and Anderson/Oladapo are both promising guys to fill out the depth chart.
Overall: This roster has the makings of a serious SB contender. They need Love to bounce back and for the young talent to continue to emerge. The focus for the rest of the off-season should be to bolster the depth at DT and CB. Though it's late in the process, we have seen this FO find help in unlikely places before.
