    Also not sure you need 5 ILB. Safeties now take some LB snaps on passing downs. McDuffie, Summers and Burks might be fighting for 2 spots.
    I'd rather carry more DL and go with only 3 ILB's. Although we have no clue what Berry is going to install.

    I'm not optimistic about the defense at all.

        Funchess milked the pigs for $11 M in the past 2 years. Caught 3 rocks for 32 yards during that time span. Not bad.

          Heard on SiriusXM the other day that Jordan Love wasn't eligible for the rookie mini camp this weekend and thus couldn't attend. However players like Chad Kelly and Kurt Benkert who've been in the league as well are eligible for some reason. Seems like a misguided NFL rule. Is this simply because they were cut prior and thus FA's?

            Alongside that I will be interested to see if Jenkins plays Tackle in camp. Most years its the OL I'm focused on as I think you win in the trenches.

            I've seen enough to think we can survive with Bak, Runyon, Patrick, Turner, Jenkins though. And if the rookie wins the center job, patrick is a nice 3 spot backup and Turner can play OT as well. But as I said, if Nijman is an NFL player then it all looks so much better and offers so many options. He has progressed so far as expected. PS to roster ST player. Now can he play effectively in a game. If not, its time to cut bait and our options get a little tighter. We would be a bit think at tackle. Guys who are better inside could end up at tackle until Bak returns and even after, we would be one injury away from using a guard at tackle. Really wish we had traded up for the other Jenkins.
            I've been thinking the same thing. Nijman is a key - if he can play right tackle, they'll have a lot of flexibility this year, with the rooks this year plus Jansen from last year. Looks like Hansen and Stepaniak have their work cut out for them.

            And what position does this Bailey Gaither play? Please tell me he's either the waterboy or the punter.

            If he's a punter, I'm rooting for him. How can you not root for a guy who looks like that?

              Once Bakh gets back, I would think they'd keep it Bakh, Elgton, Patrick/Myers, Runyan/Patrick, Turner. Turner appears to be a slightly better RT than RG. Who knows though. Lots of competition at OL. If some of the young guys progress, it could just as easily be Bakh, Runyan, Myers, Stepaniak, Jenkins with Turner as a great backup everywhere but OC and Patrick a great backup on the interior. Throw in Newman, Nijman, van Lanen, Zach Johnson, Hanson--and there is a plethora of options on the OL. Packers might even have some guys with trade value at the end of the preseason--since most teams don't have this kind of OL depth and versatility.

                Bailey Gaither is a guy trying to overcome a handicap he was born with. He is a white wide receiver.

                  Packers not at practice for voluntary OTAs today:

                  Aaron Rodgers
                  Davante Adams
                  David Bakhtiari

                  Ka’dar Hollman
                  Stanford Samuels
                  No veteran WR's at OTA. That can't be a coincidence.

                  Bortles is actually there. Working with rehab group.

                    Krys Barnes lining up with the 1’s at ILB.

                    Looked like Josh Jackson and Eric Stokes at CB with no Jaire/King.

                      Love & Amari not on the same page and MLF gives some coaching to the rookie wideout after the play. Looked like Rodgers stopped his route.

                      Looks like it could be Amos and Barnes in the box in nickel with Savage and Redmond at S. At least that’s one of the early looks here.

                      Now Amos back at safety and Summers in at LB.

                      Can’t say Jordan Love had a notable throw today. That’s not a knock on him. It was awfully blustery at #Packers practice. Really tough wind to throw with. Love did get exclusive first-team reps, but of course that was without the top 4 WRs on depth chart. Baby steps.

                      Two 7-on-7 periods — one into a strong wind and one against — and Jordan Love completed 7-of-10 passes in each one. Most of it was short to intermediate and you could see him working through progressions without a rush. Took one deep shot downwind and overthrew Begelton.

                        It's early, but it sounds like Stokes, Myers, and Rodgers look solid. Hod from packers.com named Myers as the best looking rookie so far and Preston Smith as the best looking player. Apparently, Preston is motivated and came into camp in great shape. Bodes well. I also read that Rashan Gary ranked in the top 10 in the NFL in disruption rate on a per snap basis last year. It's going to be interesting. Hopefully, Big Z plays like he has, Preston plays like he did 2019, and Gary continues his improvement. Garvin is a guy I like as a sleeper to give decent snaps as the 4th guy.

                        Nick Shook ranks the top 10 disruptors of 2020 using Next Gen Stats. Aaron Donald makes the list, of course, but the reigning Defensive Player of the Year's ranking might surprise you.

                          Great news about P. Smith. I was high on Garvin early last year, but he needs to show more. He was inactive last 8 games as he got replaced on game day by UDFA Randy Ramsey. Haven't given up on him, but he has a lot to prove. One guy to watch, who Mike Smith mentioned in his PC yesterday, is Delontae Scott. He's listed on roster as DL, but is practicing with OLB's. He's listed at 6-5, 246 and had 10 sacks in 2019 for SMU.
