Who are the top 5 best players on the Packers currently?

[RepStar15]

I had a friend ask me that today, and I was surprising pretty stumped. I know it’s a loaded question. Ultimately went with the following, but what do you think?

1. Aaron Rodgers (obviously)
2. David Bahktiari
3. Mike Daniels
4. Mason Crosby
5. Corey Linsley

 

[Firethorn1001]

I'm thinking that if the best you can do is come up with a list where the kicker is #4 then the Packers have serious talent issue.

I'd replace Mason and Corey with Adams and Clark.

 

[Mondio]

Rodgers, Bakht, Clark, Daniels, Adams.

 

[RepStar15]

I guess I Paid too much attention to other teams when deriving this list. I looked at positioning around the league opposed to just our team. There is no other QB I would want, no other left tackle, maybe one other 3-4 DE like Cameron Heyward (maybe) I would want other than Mikey D, then maybe 2-3 other kickers and centers I would want over what we have. But there is about a dozen other WR’s I would rather

 

[XPack]

1. Aaron Rodgers
2. Davante Adams
3. Mike Daniels
4. Blake Martinez
5. Kenny Clark

Based on recent form ofc.

 

[gbgary]

Rodgers
Bahktiari
Daniels
Clark
Adams
Cobb
rb's Jones/Williams

 

[4zone]

Can't do just five. My Best list is like this

Pro Bowl
A Rogers
Bahktiari

Pro Bowl Reserves
Daniels
Clark
Adams

Not Quite Pro Bowlers
Martinez
Lindsley
Jordy

 

[Half Empty]

Pro Bowl as a/the criterion?

 

[FaninColorado]

Rodgers, Bahktiari, Adams, Jordy w/ ARod , Daniels, Clark, HHCD (2016 version)

 

[PackAttack12]

In no certain order (besides #1 of course)

1. Aaron Rodgers
2. Davante Adams
3. David Bakhtiari
4. Mike Daniels
5. Kenny Clark

Unfortunately there's quite a drop off after those 5 guys.

 

[Muldoon]

Rodgers, Bakht, Clark, Daniels, Adams.

Right on!

 

[RepStar15]

I’m surprised to see Kenny Clark on everyone’s top 5. Not saying I do not think he belongs there, but absolutely hard for me to put him in my top 5.

 

[Wi. Mike now in Florida]

With these choices, we have a long way to go to find good players to fill a 53 man roaster next season.

 

[Jed12]

1. Rodgers 2. Bak 3. Adams 4. Daniels 5. Martinez for me

 

[AmishMafia]

It's funny. Haha would have been on most lists this time last year. Next year he could be back on the list with Martinez and Aaron Jones.

My list is

Rodgers
Bakh
Clark
Adams
Daniels

 

[HardRightEdge]

Rodgers, Bakht, Clark, Daniels, Adams.

That was easy. The next 5 would be more difficult.

 

[Dantés]

My spin on this is a) excluding Rodgers and b) projecting who I think the five best will be in the season upcoming, as that is more interesting that merely identifying the five best from the previous season. .

1. D. Bakhtiari: If you take Rodgers out of the equation, this becomes a no-brainer. Bakh has become consistently elite.
2. K. Clark: Solid as a rookie, great as a sophomore, I believe that Clark is on the cusp of becoming one of the best interior defensive linemen in the league. He won't even turn 23 until October of this year.
   
3. M. Daniels: From what I know of Pettine's defensive fronts, he allows his DL to get after it a little bit more often than Capers; Daniels has been a great player for a long time, but I've always thought there was more to him if a DC put him at the 3T and cut him loose.
4. D. Adams: If you extrapolate Adams' 7 games with Hundley over a full season, you're talking about a 96/1248/9 campaign, which would have ranked 6th in yardage and 4th (tie) in touchdowns this last season. He did that... with the worst QB play in the league. I think it's safe to say that he's come into his own.
5. H. Clinton-Dix: I thought about Taylor, Linsley, and Martinez, but Clinton-Dix has proven All-Pro potential. I personally blame his struggles on schematic mismanagement along with his own effort problems. But I expect that he will return to form under Pettine.

This is a great point. Which goes to what I've been saying. Davante is a flatout difference maker. The only true difference maker we have on the offensive side of the ball, minus AR of course.

If Rodgers had another deep threat opposite of Davante.....mercy.

He certainly is, though I would say they have another in Bakhtiari.

Interesting.

I would go with:

Bahk
Clark
Martinez
Haha
Edmunds

And if we don't actually draft Edmunds then:

Aaron Jones

You're that down on Adams and Daniels?

I really appreciate the steps forward that Martinez took last year, but he's too limited in the most important aspect of the game (the passing game) to rate that highly in my mind.

Wouldnt say im down on Adams. I think Rodgers can spread the ball around and Jordy has one good year left in him. I like Cobb more than most.

I am a bit down on Daniels. I hope he can rebound but last season he seemed to trail off.

I'm more trying to focus on players I think are going to step it up a notch and be the guy.

 

[PackAttack12]

He certainly is, though I would say they have another in Bakhtiari.

Yes, totally agree. Was referring to skill players though. Should have been more specific.

 

[LambeauLombardi]

Aaron
Bakhtiari
Adams
Daniels
Martinez
Clark is right after them for what it's worth

 

[GleefulGary]

Clark >>> Martinez
