5. Who does the right guard spot belong to?

A year ago the Packers entered camp with T.J. Lang and Josh Sitton as their starting guards. Sitton was a surprising final cut at the end of camp, and Lang has now followed him out the door via free agency.

Lane Taylor locked down the left guard spot formerly held by Sitton, but there is a vacancy on the right side of center Corey Linsley. Who will emerge as the frontrunner for the spot during camp?

Will it be veteran Jahri Evans? The 33-year-old was picked up off the street a day before the 2017 NFL Draft. Rookie Kofi Amichia will provide competition, as will Don Barclay and Kyle Murphy, the latter moving to unfamiliar territory having spent the majority of his career at tackle.

Evans is in pole position, but he will be pushed by the other linemen vying for a starting job.
