OK, onto the top 10 of our NFL power rankings after the draft.

It was a little tough putting the Green Bay Packers in here, especially considering their two first-round picks, Michigan’s Rashan Gary and Maryland’s Darnell Savage, might have been slight reaches.

That said, Gary was used all over the place at Michigan, and his draft stock rose considerably in the weeks counting down to Round 1. He should have a good impact on a Packers defense that needs to get mean again, while lacking a legitimate pass rush. Savage could be a nice find, too, finally replacing former Green Bay safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix.

Maybe this will be the year where the Packers secondary is no longer a prime liability.

The lack of notable receiving targets, outside of tight end Jace Sternberger, would be worrisome for most teams losing a top playmaker like wide receiver Randall Cobb. But when you think about who is under center, none of that should matter.

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers made a number of hardly known receiving targets look excellent a year ago, and that’ll likely be the trend again. Especially if head coach Matt LeFleur is able to see eye to eye with Rodgers — something Green Bay’s former coach, Mike McCarthy, wasn’t able to do, of course.

The Packers are still not the dominant team in the division and are far from the best in NFL power rankings. But they could realistically compete with the Bears for that title, as long as Rodgers stays healthy.
