Offensive line (10)

David Bakhtiari, Lane Taylor, Corey Linsley, Billy Turner, Bryan Bulaga, Elgton Jenkins, Cole Madison, Jason Spriggs, Adam Pankey, Alex Light

Another position to watch closely at training camp is guard. Right now, it looks like Lane Taylor will be at left guard with Billy Turner at right guard. Aaron Rodgers is already a fan of Turner, and he has a great chance to secure a starting job this summer.

At the other three positions — left tackle, center, and right tackle — the Packers have continuity. All-Pro David Bakhtiari and Bryan Bulaga will play the two tackle spots, with Corey Linsley continuing his consistent play at center.

The offensive line is in good shape. When fully healthy, the starting five could be Bakhtiari, Taylor, Linsley, Turner, and Bulaga. Rookie Elgton Jenkins could be the main backup as he can play just about anywhere along the line.

I have the Packers continuing to go with versatility with Adam Pankey and Alex Light making the roster. Cole Madison and Jason Spriggs are also backups.

Due to many of the offensive linemen having the versatility to play at multiple positions, it’s possible the Packers go with fewer linemen on the 53-man roster. But it’s important to have depth as injuries are inevitable.

However, when fully healthy, there’s a lot to like about Green Bay’s starting quintet.
