There will be a ton to watch this summer in a competitive training camp.
The picks are in, now the work begins.
The Packers added eight rookies with differing degrees of promise and potential over the weekend, and it’s time for their battles for playing time and depth chart positioning to begin. Who will emerge victorious? Well, as always, that depends.
For starters, it obviously depends on the individual potential of the rookie in question. For instance, it will be a lot easier for Matthew Golden, a polished receiver who might have been the best prospect at his position in the entire class, to earn playing time than it will be for Savion Williams, a project player if there ever was one.
It’s also going to depend on how committed the Packers are to getting each of their draft picks on the field this season. Anthony Belton could be a real contender at guard, but if the Packers want him to get a year of seasoning under his belt, they could easily roll with Sean Rhyan or Jordan Morgan at guard or Rasheed Walker at tackle. They have options outside of their second round pick.
But make no mistake, there will be battles, and as always, they’ll be a fascinating part of this summer’s training camp.
