The Packers’ roster is frozen for now, so The Leap is using the lull before training camp to roll out its annual 90-man rankings. This series sorts players by how good they are at their own positions, not by how important the position happens to be.
In other words, it’s about who’s best, not who carries the most value. That’s why the top of the list doesn’t have to belong to a quarterback just because he plays quarterback.
This batch covers players who are likely to stick around, though most of them are viewed first as special teams pieces and, in a few cases, possible depth options on offense or defense.
Nazir Stackhouse comes in at No. 50.
The interior defensive lineman arrived as an undrafted free agent in 2025, and his placement reflects how much ground he still has to make up. If the Packers had not signed a priority free agent and then traded up on Day 2 to take a nose tackle, Stackhouse would probably be much higher on this list.
When Green Bay brought him in last offseason, he was noted as being higher on consensus boards than Georgia teammate Warren Brinson, whom the Packers actually drafted.
The issue is that Stackhouse hasn’t yet delivered on the promise that came with his size and the flashes he showed in college as a run-stuffing nose tackle - especially for a team that badly needed somebody, anybody, to hold up against the run. He has spent this offseason working out with Micah Parsons and a group of Packers front players, which doesn’t tell us much about his run defense, but if he can get better at shedding blocks, he still has a path into Jonathan Gannon’s defensive line rotation, especially with a coach who likes to cycle through bodies.
At No. 49 is Matt Orzech, the long snapper who arrived as an unrestricted free agent in 2023. Not much needs to be said there: he’s a long snapper. Presumably, Matt LaFleur doesn’t talk to them either.
Travis Glover lands at No. 48, and this is where the debate inside the ranking gets a little sharper. He’s a sixth-round pick from 2024, and one view is that he should have been grouped with the previous set of players.
Jason sees more upside than that; the other view does not. The Jager Burton pick, in that reading, was made because the Packers don’t trust their backup interior linemen to hold up if a starter goes down.
Glover’s limited game action hasn’t helped his case. The clearest example came in the 2024 playoff game against the Philadelphia Eagles, when he had to enter and was described as literally unplayable, to the point that the Packers had to unplay him.
He’s a big body at 6-foot-6 and 317 pounds, but a torn lat wiped out his 2025 season, leaving that Eagles game as the last time he was seen on the field for Green Bay. That’s not exactly the kind of image a player wants to carry into the next phase of his career.

Chris McClellan Is Already Giving Packers Fans A Reason To Revisit That Pick
Chris McClellan is already making the Packers feel a little better about a draft choice that raised some eyebrows in the moment. Green Bay took the defensive lineman at No. 77 overall, betting on his college production over the raw athleticism of other options, and the early returns from offseason work have been encouraging enough to keep that conversation alive in a different way.
Defensive line coach Vince Oghobaase said McClellan was picking up technique and scheme faster than expected during the first two days, and he has also been getting first-team reps in the offseason program. For a team looking to fortify the interior, especially with Micah Parsons set to miss the start of the season, that kind of early progress matters, even if the real verdict on the pick will take much longer to come into focus.

Packers Suddenly Face A Brutal NFC North Reality
The early look at the 2026 NFC North is not exactly flattering for Green Bay. Bleacher Report analyst Moe Moton has the Packers pegged for a last-place finish, a projection built on worries at both ends of the roster and the kind of uncertainty that can make a division race turn quickly. Even before camp opens, the offense has already taken hits with Romeo Doubs departing in free agency and Dontayvion Wicks getting traded away, leaving Jordan Love with fewer proven targets to work with.
The bigger concern is that the Packers could be forced to navigate the season with more questions than answers in key spots. Josh Jacobs status remains unsettled because of an ongoing legal case and possible league discipline, while the defense is waiting on Micah Parsons as he works back from a torn ACL with meniscus damage. In a division where every game tends to matter, that combination is enough to make a once-promising roster look a lot more fragile than it did a few months ago. [Read more 🡒]
Packers Suddenly Have A Season Defining Question Around Josh Jacobs
Josh Jacobs enters the Packers offseason with more uncertainty than anyone would have expected just a year ago. Green Bay is letting the legal process play out, and the league is doing the same, but the situation alone has turned one of the teams most important offensive pieces into a major storyline as the 2026 season approaches.
The football questions are piling up, too. Jacobs was already dealing with lingering ankle and knee issues late last season, and at 28, he is at the age when running backs start to face the usual durability and decline concerns. Even so, there remains a belief in league circles that he can still be a productive back, which is why the Packers suddenly have a real decision to make about how much they can count on him moving forward.
