14. Kicker

No changes here. Mason Crosby has a new contract and is coming off a career-best season. The Packers are fortunate to have no concerns at kicker entering 2020.

13. Punter

Similarly, the Packers are set with JK Scott as their punter. While he has been inconsistent in his first two seasons, this isn’t a major concern. Brian Gutekunst could use a Day 3 pick at the position should he believe he can find an upgrade but Scott is talented enough to win the job again.

12. Guard

The Packers have, so far, opted against releasing Lane Taylor, a move that would free up additional cap room. Taylor might have lost his starting job to Elgton Jenkins, who has Pro Bowl potential, but he would give the Packers good depth at the position if he remains on the roster as a backup. The Packers have their two starting guards set and Taylor provides depth.

11. Quarterback

Any moves made at quarterback early in the draft will have one eye on the future. Aaron Rodgers gives the Packers a chance to win the Super Bowl every season he starts. The reason this isn’t down at No. 14 is due to the backup position. If Rodgers gets injured, can Tim Boyle step up and help the Packers win games? That remains to be seen.
