The Green Bay Packers will begin preparing for the 2025 NFL season with rookie camp getting under way shortly. With the draft completed, the core of the roster has been established although changes will continue throughout the offseason. Here is a look at the Packers three position groups with the most questions after the 2025 NFL Draft. Keep in mind these are not necessarily the weakest positions, but the ones with the most uncertainty as of right now.

Ranking the Packers Three Position Groups with the Most Questions after the 2025 NFL Draft, Number Three: Interior Offensive Line

The interior offensive line has talent but there are questions. Elgton Jenkins is scheduled to move to center after the departure of Josh Myers via free agency.

The Packers signed guard Aaron Banks to play left guard in place of Jenkins. The right guard position, however, is up for grabs. The incumbent is Sean Rhyan who will be entering the final year of his entry-level contract this season. He may battle with 2024 first-round pick Jordan Morgan for the starting position. 2025 second-round pick, Anthony Belton may also see some practice time at guard but is more likely to be competing at tackle

There is talent here, but sorting out who wins the starting jobs remains a question. We also don’t know how well Jenkins will do at center. Depth may also be a question if injuries hit.

Number Two: Defensive End

GM Brian Gutekunst stated before the draft that the team had the necessary talent to rush the passer using the front four. The Pack didn’t address the edge rusher position until day three of the draft when they selected Barryn Sorrell and Collin Oliver in the fourth and fifth rounds.

The Packers will be relying on improvement from within at defensive end as they enter the second year in the 4-3 base defense of Jeff Hafley. Will Rashan Gary get more pressure on the quarterback? Last season, he recorded 7.5 sacks which led the team. Still, the Packers hoped the former first-round pick from Michigan would reach double-digit sacks for the first time in his career.

Kingsley Enagbare took over as the starter after the team dealt Preston Smith at the trade deadline. He will enter the final year of his rookie deal in 2025. Can former first-round pick Lukas Van Ness take a leap forward in his third NFL season? Brenton Cox finished the season strong after being added to the rotation, but what will he contribute this season? And what can the two draft choices contribute in their rookie campaigns, most likely as rotational players?

Again, there is talent here, but how the depth chart will look, and whether this group will be better this year than last year remains a question.

Ranking the Packers Three Position Groups with the Most Questions after the 2025 NFL Draft, Number One: Cornerback

The big question remains the future of Jaire Alexander. Can the Packers reach an agreement to keep him in Green Bay? If they do, can he stay healthy and return to his Pro Bowl form? If they can’t keep Jaire, can they get anything for him in a trade or will they have to release him outright?

Without Alexander, the Packers lack a shutdown cover corner. Keisean Nixon, Nate Hobbs and Carrington Valentine would be the team’s top three corners with Javon Bullard added to the mix in the slot. All three are solid players but far from elite. They also need to be more consistent.

The Packers didn’t address cornerback until the seventh round of the draft. There is talent here, but none of the players currently on the roster will strike fear in the hearts of opposing quarterbacks and coaching staffs.

If Nixon and Hobbs build on last season and Valentine and Bullard take a step forward this year, this could be a good unit. Without a shutdown cover corner, however, they won’t be elite. There are plenty of questions here.
