A post-draft look at the Packers’ 91-man roster

The Green Bay Packers made eight draft selections and have reportedly signed 10 undrafted free agents after the draft, which means that the Packers’ 91-man offseason roster should be filled. Green Bay will host their rookie minicamp soon, which gives an opportunity to tryout players to make the team, but it looks like those guys won’t be signed without a corresponding release from the roster — if the team wants to keep any of them around.

With all that out of the way, let’s dig into the Packers’ current roster. We’ll try our best to list players in the pecking order we expect them to be on the depth chart. If you want to read our 53-man roster prediction, you can find that HERE.

Quarterback: Jordan Love, Malik Willis, Sean Clifford (3)

Quarterback seems a little thin, but head coach Matt LaFleur has mentioned before how hard it is to rep four or five quarterbacks during training camp. With that being said, the Packers are bringing in a Canadian in Taylor Elgersma for a rookie minicamp tryout, so maybe he’s a player who can earn a roster spot. Elgersma was one of the 30 players that Green Bay brought in on a visit.

Running Back: Josh Jacobs, MarShawn Lloyd, Emanuel Wilson, Chris Brooks, Amar Johnson and Jalen White (6)

On paper, Chris Brooks and UDFAs Amar Johnson and Jalen White should be fighting for the last roster spot on the team, assuming the Packers keep a fourth running back.

Wide Receiver: Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks, Matthew Golden, Savion Williams, Mecole Hardman, Bo Melton, Malik Heath, Julian Hicks, Cornelius Johnson, Tulu Griffin and Christian Watson (12)

Even with Christian Watson extremely likely to start the season on the physically unable to perform list, there are five roster locks on the Packers’ roster at the receiver position. Mecole Hardman, Bo Melton and Malik Heath have all made NFL 53-man rosters, which is why Green Bay apparently hasn’t signed an undrafted free agent — who would want to sign to this crowded room?

Tight End: Tucker Kraft, Luke Musgrave, Ben Sims, John FitzPatrick, Messiah Swinson and Johnny Lumpkin (6)

The Packers also didn’t touch the tight end position this week. Their top four tight ends return and they added no undrafted players to push Messiah Swinson and Johnny Lumpkin, previous practice squadders. Green Bay is simply running it back here.

Offensive Line: Rasheed Walker, Aaron Banks, Elgton Jenkins, Sean Rhyan, Zach Tom, Jordan Morgan, Anthony Belton, Jacob Monk, John Williams, Kadeem Telfort, Travis Glover, Donovan Jennings, Tyler Cooper, J.J. Lippe, Brant Banks, Marquis Hayes and Trey Hill (17)

There’s so much competition in this room. I’m not sure how many times the Packers have had 17 offensive linemen on the team at the same time. Between splash signing Aaron Banks, two draft picks and three undrafted free agent signings, it’s getting crowded here. The team also returned five of their six significant contributors in 2024 and brought back two reserve 2024 draft picks in Jacob Monk and Travis Glover.

Defensive End: Rashan Gary, Kingsley Enagbare, Lukas Van Ness, Barryn Sorrell, Collin Oliver, Brenton Cox Jr., Arron Mosby, Deslin Aleandre and Jeremiah Martin (9)

While the Packers didn’t make a splash addition at defensive end this offseason, they brought back five players who have made the 53-man roster before and added two mid-round selections via the draft. Competition on the lower end of the depth chart will be fierce, but we’ll just have to see if a rookie or Lukas Van Ness can push Kingsley Enagbare for the starting job opposite of Rashan Gary.

Defensive Tackle: Kenny Clark, Devonte Wyatt, Karl Brooks, Colby Wooden, Warren Brinson, Nazir Stackhouse, James Ester, Nesta Jade Silvera, Leonard Payne and Keith Randolph (10)

The defensive tackles in this draft went much higher than people expected, which is probably one reason why the Packers didn’t address the position until Day 3. On paper, sixth-round pick Warren Brinson and undrafted free agent Nazir Stackhouse, both University of Georgia products, should compete this summer for the backup nose tackle position behind Kenny Clark. The lack of a starting defensive tackle early in the draft probably means that Clark will move from the starting three-technique to the starting nose tackle, a role T.J. Slaton played last year, and Devonte Wyatt will finally be the full-time starting three-technique for the first time in his NFL career.

Linebacker: Quay Walker, Edgerrin Cooper, Isaiah McDuffie, Ty’Ron Hopper, Kristian Welch and Jamon Dumas-Johnson (6)

The thinnest room the Packers have right now is linebacker. Kristian Welch, who was Green Bay last summer, and undrafted rookie Jamon Dumas-Johnson, considered a draftable player going into this week, will fight for the last roster spot at this position. The Packers must carry five linebackers. They’re more likely to carry six than four into 2025. I wouldn’t be surprised if Green Bay made a move here. I don’t think they want to play Quay Walker, Edgerrin Cooper or Isaiah McDuffie much in the preseason, considering they already know what they have in those players. That leaves them only three others to get through games with.

Cornerback: Jaire Alexander, Keisean Nixon, Nate Hobbs, Carrington Valentine, Micah Robinson, Kamal Hadden, Kalen King, Tyron Herring, Kahzir Brown, Isaiah Dunn and Kaleb Hayes (11)

The top four cornerbacks are set, as long as Jaire Alexander remains on the team. That fifth- and sixth-cornerback spot should be competitive, though, with seventh-round pick Micah Robinson competing with two 2024 draft picks in Kamal Hadden and Kalen King for a roster spot or two.

Safety: Xavier McKinney, Evan Williams, Javon Bullard, Zayne Anderson, Kitan Oladapo, Omar Brown and Johnathan Baldwin (7)

This is a copy-paste of last year. The Packers returned all five of their contributing safeties and a practice squadder in Omar Brown. Johnathan Baldwin, an undrafted free agent, is being called a safety right now, but he’s primarily a slot defender.

Kicker: Brandon McManus and Alex Hale (2)

Alex Hale is the Packers’ international pathways player, meaning that he’s essentially a free roster spot in the offseason and on the practice squad in-season. He’s no threat to take Brandon McManus’ job, but he’ll probably hang around.

Punter: Daniel Whelan (1)

Daniel Whelan is the Packers’ only punter.

Long Snapper: Matt Orzech (1)

Matt Orzech is the Packers’ only long snapper.
