Thursday Cheese Curds: What roster problems can the Packers solve?

The Packers have a lot of work to do this offseason and not many resources with which to do it. There’s no first round pick coming this year or next, and while there’s cap space to be had, it’ll take some blood-letting to get there. 

But that’s not to say things can’t be fixed on this roster. They can! It’s just a matter of what approach the Packers want to take.

Do they go for a broad quasi-rebuild, trying to fill as many holes and shore up as many weaknesses as possible? Do they go for a more focused approach, like we’ve seen from Brian Gutekunst before? He spent richly on the offensive line last offseason, rebuilt the safety room from scratch in 2024, and brought in a bunch of wide receiver talent in 2022. Those attempts have brought varying degrees of success. Could something similar work at, say, cornerback this offseason?

It could be an approach worth trying, but the Packers may not have the luxury of putting all or even most of their eggs in one basket. The good news is, they’ve got a pretty solid base at a lot of positions, and adding to an already solid roster is a lot easier than a complete rebuild.
