Centers

Starter: Corey Linsley

Reserves: Don Barclay, Jacob Flores

The Packers are a Corey Linsley injury away from a potential problem at center. With JC Tretter leaving for Cleveland, the team is suddenly a little thin at the position.

As long as Linsley is healthy, all is well. A fifth-round pick three years ago, he stepped in for an injured Tretter at the start of the 2014 season and never looked back.

Linsley has dealt with his share of injury problems too over the past year or so, and the Packers need him to stay healthy in 2017.

Verdict: We may see the Packers add a versatile offensive lineman at some point in the draft. Finding a player who can line up at both guard and center might be the type of guy they go after.

Tretter’s ability to play along the line was under-appreciated, and the Packers need to replace him.
