TL;DR Summary

After drafting six players and adding 11 undrafted free agents to a 91-man roster, Green Bay must sort out critical depth at quarterback and running back. Jordan Love is the starter, with Desmond Ridder and Kyle McCord (plus Kyron Drones) in the mix for the backup job; the Packers haven’t added a veteran QB yet and could pursue one via free agency or a trade if Ridder/McCord falter. In the backfield, Josh Jacobs is the starter behind a group including Chris Brooks, MarShawn Lloyd, Pierre Strong Jr., Damien Martinez and Jaden Nixon, with health and reliability concerns around Lloyd and optimism about Brooks. The piece notes ongoing depth discussions beyond these positions, though it doesn’t detail the kicker situation.
