Matt LaFleur enjoyed a succe sful first season as head coach in 2019 Sterling Brown Jersey . Green Bay won the NFC North after winning 13 regular season games, the franchise's highest total since 2011. After defeating Seattle in the divisional round of the playoffs, Green Bay's Super Bowl dreams came to a crashing halt in the NFC title game, as the Packers' inability to stop the run played a significant factor in their 37-20 lo s to the San .While they did not add any receivers to the roster via the draft, the Packers did addre s several other areas of need. On Day 3 of the draft, Green Bay selected three offensive linemen as well as three defensive players. The previous two days, the Packers added to their skill positions, drafting former Boston College running back A.J. Dillon in the second round and former Cincinnati tight end in the third round. In the first round, the Packers shocked everyone when they traded up to select former Utah State quarterback , who will spend the 2020 season learning from the team's future Hall of Fame quarterback, .With training camp on the horizon, we decided to project what the Packers' starting lineup and 53-man roster may look like when Green Bay kicks off the 2020 regular season against the .Rookies will be denoted with a (*). Without further ado, let's jump right into it. Offense StarterBackupDepth QB Aaron RodgersJordan Love* RB A.J.

With longtime starter now with the , and with the influx of three new rookies, the Packers' offensive line will look a little different in 2019.The favorite to replace Bulaga is veteran , who was signed by Green Bay earlier this offseason. But given Wagner's previous durability i sues, the thought is that , the team's former starting left guard, may be moved to tackle in case the team needs more depth at that position. If this happens, that would allow Elgton Jenkins, who enjoyed an impre sive rookie campaign, to move into a starting position for the 2020 season, with rookie Jon Runyan backing him up.Fellow rookies and will also be entrenched in position battles this summer. Hanson, a sixth-round pick out of Oregon, will be competing with to be Cory Linsley's primary backup at center. A seventh-round pick out of Indiana, Stepaniak will be competing against to back up Bakhitiari at left tackle.Expect LaFleur to have some fun while creating ways for Deguara to make an impact in Green Bay's offense. The 6-foor-2, 238-pound Deguara Gerald Green Jersey was a mismatch nightmare at Cincinnati, where he caught 12 touchdown pa ses during his last two seasons with the Bearcats. LaFleur will also look to utilize Dillion, who scored 15 touchdowns during his final season at Boston College while averaging 5.3 yards per carry.Defense StarterBackupDepthLDETrayvon HesterNT RDEOLBJonathan Garvin*LILBRILBKamal Martin*OLBTim WilliamsGreg RobertsLCBStanford Samuels*RCB SSRaven Greene Vernon Scott*FS The Packers' young defense (the unit's oldest returning player is 28-year-old Za'Darius Smith) brings back nine of their 11 starters from the previous season. To help replace, the Packers signed Christian Kirksey, a former third-round pick who recorded 53 career starts in six seasons with the . The other starting spot at inside linebacker will be filled by Oren Burks, Ty Summers or rookie , a fifth-round pick out of Minnesota who recorded 12.5 sacks and 167 tackles during his final three years with the Golden Gophers.Green Bay's secondary, a unit that finished 14th in the NFL in pa sing yards allowed last season, is hoping to get a boost from rookie , a seventh-round pick who broke up seven pa ses while returning an interception 98 yards for a touchdown against Oklahoma during his final season at TCU. Undrafted rookie Stanford Samuels is also looking to make the Packers' roster following a highly productive career at Florida State, where he recorded eight interceptions while breaking up 16 pa ses.The Packers are surely hoping that , the team's final pick in the draft, can contribute to a Green Bay defense that recorded 41 sacks in 2019. Nearly half of Green Bay's sack total last season was tallied by Za'Darius and Preston Smith along with Kenny Clark.Special teams StarterBackup K P J.K.
