Rank The Roster: 2023 Edition

1. Jaire Alexander (43%)[+2]
2. Aaron Jones (26%)[+6]
3. David Bakhtiari (34%)[+1]
4. Kenny Clark (50%)[-2]
5. Rashan Gary (57%)[+1]
6. Elgton Jenkins (54%)[-1]
7. DeVondre Campbell (29%)[--]
8. Christian Watson (32%)[+14]
9. Current (xx%)[--]

Percent of vote the winner got will be in parenthesis, position change vs. 2019 will be in brackets.

Here's how this works:

Each day there is a new thread/poll, starting at #1, on down to whereever we get. The whole point of this exercise is to have something to talk about in the lean news months to carry us to camp. Each poll will be open for voting for 24 hours. New threads will only be created on weekdays. Ties will cause a runoff poll. You may vote up to TWO players (a change that was made mid-poll last year, seemed to work well).

Simply voting is not enough!

Post why you voted for who you did and provide a player to add to the next poll (every poll will be a list of 15-20 guys, new players added in bunches every few days).

Here's the thing. There is no criteria. This is an exercise to foster discussion therefore there are no clear criteria for ranking. Who is better right now? Who will have the best season? Who was better last year? Sort of a combo of them all? Do you take positional value into account? It really doesn't matter.

I'm going with Love and Quay, both based upon a hope and a prayer for dramatic improvement over where we last saw them...

Dillon is my top here. He and Jones are like 1a/1b, Jones gets the nod because of his ability to house it on any play, but Dillon is much more effective at softening up the defense, running through em like a wrecking ball. Running an effective 4 minute offense has proven clutch at times, and Dillon is our man there. I feel confindent he'll count for >1K yds of offense.

Then Quay, Doubs, Love in no order yet. I'm going to just vote Dillon until he's gone.

Voting for just Love here.


Next up I got Dillon and Preston.

Think I’d be ready for Walker, Wyatt and Van Ness after that.


OL is funny, cause with Myers, Tom, Nijman, and JRJ, can make a solid argument for any of them on which one doesn’t start. So hard to slate in any of them.



Doubs, Rasul, Stokes prolly on the next short list after that.

Love and Nixon, Sul on deck.

Preston, or Toure

Preston, or Toure

Wait, we have not already put Toure on the board yet?? This is a disgrace....

Going Love.

Still the QB


After that I want with P Smith.

We know what we have in him in a solid not great player that never misses games. Dude is always available and a leader.

Between Preston Smith and Jordan Love.

Preston Smith's anlaysis is the same analysis as I do on Packers 3rd round draft picks. Lazy analysis AF but incredibly accurate.

Preston Smith in odd years = great player
Packers 3rd round pick = bust

That being said, I am going Jordan Love. I have very high faith in this kid. He made a lot of progress from Week 17 2021 to last year.

Preston and Rasul are the top of this tier, IMO.

After last season, I'm actually a bit down on Dillon. Like, will we get straight-ahead pounder Dillon, or dance-around Dillon?

Will Nixon be able to recapture the 2022 magic? Even Devin Hester was somewhat up-and-down over two to three year spans.

Pretty astounding that Preston Smith is the 5th longest tenured Packer at this point. There are only 4 players on the current roster who played for Mike McCarthy.

Dillon first pick, dancing is a OL issue, 2nd pick goes Nixon again, Love gets kicked back to batters box again

I went with Love 1st.

Yes, QB is THAT IMPORTANT, even if he is partially unproven.

The 2nd pick was tougher.
Preston? He is a good player coming off one of his best seasons but if Gary comes back early and Van Ness exceeds expectations for a rookie, he is going to be a rotational player at best.
Dillon? Either a rotational player or a backup - and neither situation is worthy of being taken here.
Nixon? Unproven at anything except ST
Walker? Legitimate choice.
Rasul? He is going to start somewhere and he is proven.

I was torn between Walker and Rasul and chose Rasul.
