Safeties

Starters: Morgan Burnett, Ha Ha Clinton-Dix

Reserves: Kentrell Brice, Marwin Evans, Jermaine Whitehead

The Packers are set at the two safety spots, Morgan Burnett and Ha Ha Clinton-Dix forming one of the league’s most consistent tandems.

Losing Micah Hyde hurt the depth at the position. He could line up just about anywhere in the secondary, and the Packers will be hoping to see Kentrell Brice elevate his game to help fill the absence left by Hyde.

When healthy, Burnett and Clinton-Dix will again be the two starters.

Verdict: The Packers may look to add another defensive back in the draft. While safety isn’t the team’s biggest need, finding another guy can line up back there would make sense. As ever, the development of the young talent on the roster remains pivotal to the Packers success.
