They say there's no time like the present, which means there are precious minutes to waste as we start to ramp up the Packers roster panic.
Now that free agency and the draft have come and gone, we have a decent sense of what Green Bay's roster is going to look like next season. What comes next is way more "fun:" guessing who starts over who, and what that means about each player, and how that could basically make or break their entire season. Second-string special teams players never feel more integral than they do in mid-May, when there's nothing else to talk about.

And no one does speculative offseason listicles quite like Bleacher Report, who have become a dependable source of curious assumptions that are just wild enough to aggregate. In their latest roster projections listicle, Bleacher Report throws Packers fans a bone and gives them a fun debate topic for the next, like, three hours: linebacker Isaiah McDuffie starting over Quay Walker, who you may remember as Green Bay's first-round pick only three years ago.
The drama! No wonder Matt LaFleur looks so concerned in our hero image.
Isaiah McDuffie over Quay Walker is a wild Packers lineup prediction to make
"The edge spot opposite Gary is up for grabs with Van Ness, Kingsley Enagbare and Barryn Sorrell battling each other. At linebacker, Quay Walker is another option to start next to Cooper," writes Bleacher Report's Matt Holder.
Sooooo they projected McDuffie to start next to Cooper but then write about how Walker is 'another option' to start next to Cooper? Which means ... ? Honestly, this is my fault for putting too much stock into Bleacher Report lineup projections in mid-May. I have no one to blame but myself. And also maybe Bleacher Report, just a little.
In their defense, I don't see anyone else publishing roster projections right now. Everyone else is 'finally sleeping' or 'enjoying fresh oxygen' or 'spending time with their families.' But not Bleacher Report. Bleacher Report knows that the internet waits for no man, and there's no time better to debate roster projections than literally right this instant. So really, who's actually happy?
