With quarterback Aaron Rodgers under center, the Packers are a perennial playoff contender.

Without him? Well, last year tells you all you need to know.

Granted, the Packers have plenty of holes, especially on defense. And the offensive line remains a question mark after an injury-plagued, up-and-down 2017. These should be the team’s top two needs in the upcoming NFL Draft.

It was weird to see Green Bay part ways with wide receiver Jordy Nelson, although it made sense from both a business perspective and in terms of what he can offer on the field.

A consolation prize, the Packers brought aboard former Seahawks tight end Jimmy Graham after a disappointing tenure in Seattle. At 31 years old, Graham may not have quite the prolific impact as he did during his days with the New Orleans Saints. But he’s still a viable weapon, and Rodgers can certainly make him that much more formidable force.
