It’s time to talk about one of the most-discussed positions on the Packers’ roster: wide receiver. This unit is almost completely different from 2021, while still carrying quite a few familiar faces.

The Packers have a strong running back group again this year, but the question of how they’ll be used will define their season. Who will end up being the top dog? And will one of them almost end up being more of a receiver?

We’re flipping over to defense for our next position preview for a look at edge rushers. Za’Darius Smith is gone, but Rashan Gary and Preston Smith are a solid 1-2 punch.

The question at quarterback is the same for the Packers this year as it’s been for the last few: can Aaron Rodgers get them to the Super Bowl, and will we see some of the promise that made Jordan Love a first round pick in 2020?SUPPORT BLUE 58Donate to our Patreon - For as little as $1 per month, you can access Patreon-only content and get access to our private Discord server.https://www.patreon.com/thepowersweepBuy a T-Shirt or Sweatshirt - Look good while supporting The Power Sweep.https://www.teepublic.com/stores/the-power-sweep?ref_id=25927Leave us a 5-Star Review on iTunes - It helps more people find the show!

The Packers have one more OTA practice to go and then the offseason is all done. But that doesn’t mean the Packers are done building their roster.

The Packers are set at a lot of positions, but, as everyone knows, wide receiver is basically wide open. While it’s certainly not great to feel unsettled at a position, I think there’s some upside, too.SUPPORT BLUE 58Donate to our Patreon - For as little as $1 per month, you can access Patreon-only content and get access to our private Discord server.https://www.patreon.com/thepowersweepBuy a T-Shirt or Sweatshirt - Look good while supporting The Power Sweep.https://www.teepublic.com/stores/the-power-sweep?ref_id=25927Leave us a 5-Star Review on iTunes - It helps more people find the show!

If you squint you can see something resembling football in Green Bay this week. I have a few takes on OTAs and a few less-discussed players we should talk about heading into the summer.

The Packers have taken care of their best defensive back, signing Jaire Alexander to a four-year extension.

With the NFL Draft done and undrafted free agency all but over, the Packers roster is probably set, barring an unexpected signing. That means we can take a crack at predicting who the Packers will have on their 53-man roster, though there might be a few surprises yet to come.SUPPORT BLUE 58Donate to our Patreon - For as little as $1 per month, you can access Patreon-only content and get access to our private Discord server.https://www.patreon.com/thepowersweepBuy a T-Shirt or Sweatshirt - Look good while supporting The Power Sweep.https://www.teepublic.com/stores/the-power-sweep?ref_id=25927Leave us a 5-Star Review on iTunes - It helps more people find the show!
