10. Center

Center drops down the rankings slightly as it’s not a major concern. Corey Linsley is an underrated player and is up there with the best in the league at his position. He led all centers in ESPN’s pass block win rate metric last season.

9. Safety

The Packers have a strong safety tandem in Adrian Amos and Darnell Savage. Savage has the potential to become a great player and he should take a step up in his second season. Something to watch is Ibraheim Campbell’s future. He’s a solid backup at safety and the Packers should look to bring him back. If not, they may consider drafting a safety on Day 3.

8. Running back

Running back drops down the rankings after the Packers re-signed Tyler Ervin. His number one job is returning kicks and punts but he also adds much-needed depth in the backfield. That said, Brian Gutekunst may decide to draft another running back this year considering that Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams both have one year remaining on their rookie contracts.

7. Edge rusher

Packers fans don’t need reminding how dominant the Smith Bros. were in 2019. Green Bay’s pass-rush tandem combined for 25.5 sacks. However, Rashan Gary had a quiet rookie season and the Packers have lost some depth with Kyler Fackrell signing with the New York Giants. At such an important position, adding a fourth edge rusher would be a smart move.
