It's the most uncertainty the Green Bay Packers have faced in years. While Aaron Rodgers was the starting quarterback, they had some great rosters and some not-so-good ones, but Rodgers being there kept the Packers in contention.

They now enter a new era with Jordan Love taking over as the starting quarterback. The 2023 season will be one for the Packers to evaluate. Not just Love, but the entire roster. Green Bay might not call it a rebuild, but in many ways, it is.

Decisions in the 2023 NFL Draft will help shape the Packers' future. And we can officially put these seven Packers on the hot seat.

7. Packers center Josh Myers

Should we assume Josh Myers will start at center in Week 1? It's certainly his job to lose, but it's not like the Packers don't have other options.

Second-year Zach Tom impressed at tackle in his rookie season, but he spent time playing center at Wake Forest. When the offensive line is fully healthy, David Bakhtiari and Yosh Nijman are the likely starters at tackle, with Elgton Jenkins and Jon Runyan Jr. at guard.

Tom showed he's good enough to start. Maybe he starts ahead of Nijman, but another option would be to play at center.

The upcoming draft could also be a factor. Green Bay could add more depth to the offensive line, creating positional battles over the summer.

Myers needs to show more consistency in year three, or the Packers may be forced to make a change at center.
